Now, the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has said the Government will invoke the Internal Security Act (ISA) to handle street demonstrations when the situation warrants for such action to be taken.
"The ISA is a preventive measure to spare the nation from untoward incidents that can harm the prevailing peace and harmony and create all sorts of adverse things. So, I don’t know (when to invoke the ISA), but ISA will be there. When it is appropriate to use it, it will be used," he said.
Apparently, with so many pictorial evidence lying on the cyberspace, it looks certain that the PM, who is also the Internal Security Minister was misinformed by his 4th floor officers that the Hindraf rally was in chaotic situation due to the unruly participants, whereas it’s the FRU and police force who provoke the participants with tear gas and water cannons.
Hence, Malaysiakini editor-in-chief Steven Gan wrote an entry of what he thinks about the current premier, the reasons why he said so as well as the power-play politics by the infamous SIL Khairy Jamaluddin.
Abdullah is the most incompetent PM we ever had. He has just sleep-walked his way through his first term.
When he took over from Dr Mahathir Mohamad, he promised Malaysians the sky – he vowed to wipe out corruption without fear or favour, he asked everyone to tell him the truth even if it hurts, and promised to rid the country of racial and religious polarisation.
Surely, Abdullah must be kicking himself now. You don’t promise what you cannot deliver.
He should have known that he cannot root out corruption without weeding out the real source – the patronage politics in Umno and its sidekicks within the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
You must read until the end story to find out the parting shot, I tell you, it’s a gem!
Abdullah could still be the bureaucrat to bring similar reforms in Malaysia. That is, if his son-in-law allows him to.
Having said all that, there is a survey that shows Malaysians are happy with the current administration and Pak Lah is so happy about it.
He said he’ll continue to administer the country like what he is doing now, in which I call it – the lemah lembik style.
So, are you happy? Do you think he has done a good job? Or do you think he is as incompetent as what Steven Gan claims to be?
Pray tell.

I completely agree with Steven Gan. The AAB administration has been hoodwinking Malaysians with promises thay can’t and don’t intend to keep. There are many clear issues the country is facing due to this government. I do not support any political party nor am I politically inclined. I am one of those people who takes life as it comes and persevere to move ahead. But I will definitely make my vote count this time. The sheer arrogance and incompetency of his cabinet makes me worry about the future of this country.
The man is a civil servant. Years of getting by on minimal work has made him the sleepyhead that he is today. Definitely an Incompetent.
skthew? is that u? haha not sure if u still remember me but we used to be in the same alpha group in uni LOL
good write and i soooo totally AGREE with you.
the future looks bleak..sigh
they called it, shiok sendiri. still dreaming in alice wonderland. people want ISA? come on, dont make yoruself look more stupid. its already bad enough. btw, maybe he needs a pail of cold water to wake him up truly.
Bodolah is more cunning than Mahathir, even a seasoned crook like Mahathir was conned by him thinking that he will follow his policies after he handed over power to him.
if we vote Bodolah off…there are still the following people who don’t look so righteous to me.
