Needless to say, the last round of Internal Security Act (ISA) detention in Malaysia has caught international media attention, with the Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s administration in the bad limelight for invoking the draconian law which allows for indefinite detention without trial.

Today, with the latest release of one of the victims Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, it’s considered a temporary victory for the people. While many of us are celebrating the good news, we shouldn’t forget the rest of ISA detainees who are still being placed behind the bar in Kamunting.
Simply put, another 64 detainees to go. Please sign the petition to release those who’re still held under the ISA while getting ready for The People’s Parliament Hartal ISA to take off soon.

The abuse of ISA is seen greatly to suppress those who speak up against the govt and for the Govt to stay in power nevertheless. I greatly feel is should be abolish and those guilty of any cases should be charged in court. The greatly misuse of ISA by the present govertment speaks by itself
