Selective prosecution is one thing. Using ISA on opposition is taking everything to a new level... Mohd Yazid Bin Zul Kepli - Mohd Yazid Bin Zul Kepli

What Kind Of Intelligence?

The Deputy IGP said this: 'When the police decided to invoke the ISA, the decision was based on intelligence and observation that certain acts by the individuals concerned were detrimental to the calm, peace and harmony of the country.' Remember during the last General Elections.....the decision to use ink the indelible ink was shelved because there was some intelligence report that some people had bought large quantity of the ink and were planning to disrupt the elections. It was also reported certain arrests were made and people were remanded. These two excuses which were made public goes on to show how unintelligent can the intelligence be! It is an affront to common sense. On the other hand i feel miserable to think how many more innocent people became victims of police action based on similar intelligence report.

Why under ISA and not under other laws?

I hate to repeat this (of what others have said repeatedly). Failure to grasp that ISA is not, I repeat, is not, the proper resort in respect of the arrests and detentions in question((detention for investigation under ISA could be and in Teresa Kok's case (going to be 28 days), is actually longer than ordinary suspected offenders)) would mean that YB Zaid Ibrahim's submission for resignation and other Ministers' objections are either in vain or less intelligent. For probing into Teresa Kok's alleged involvement in the "Azan" issue, road signages with Jawi Script and another regarding the Selangor Religious Department (JAIS) (as just published here, reported by Teresa's father), (and also Raja Petra K.'s blogs)could there be no other laws under the Penal code or Sedition Act be called in aid for investigation (for which remand is 14 days maximum)? I repeat: could there be no other laws save this draconian terrorising ISA? Are they going to abscond or have they already posed a threat to national security? Are not that all relevant materials that need to be considered, already in the public dormain? Is not the answer to the above question seems obvious? William Wong Sang Eng - William Wong Sang Eng

WHITHER THE TRUTH?

The Royal Malaysian Police Department won the world's first-ever fight against the armed communist insurrection because the officers at that time fought for the truth. Their struggle was based on the truth. The people supported the struggle because it was truth that all were upholding. Today, can we say the same thing about some of our police officers? It is hard for any self-respecting Malaysian to believe that Teresa Kok poses a threat to national security. What has this seasoned Member of Parliament for His Majesty's Loyal Opposition done to deserve such a grave charge? As for Raja Petra, I have been reading most of his articles and I have not read any article where he has committed the alleged insult to Islam. Can someone in authority please explain? The days of the Internal Security Act (ISA) have seen more misuse and abuse than any other Act. It is time we repeal this unconscionable, reprehensible and obnoxious statute. This country is built on the principles of democracy and the rule of law. It must create the greatest happiness for the greatest number. It must never use such an unconscionable, reprehensible and obnoxious statute to force the physical separation of families. We want happy families in Malaysia, not dysfunctional ones. I call on all police officers to return to and observe always their oath of serving the Malaysian nation. Stephen Tan Ban Cheng - Stephen Tan Ban Cheng

Why then the man who uttered the most racist statement in public and need no further investigation as the evidence of that statement is overwhelming is still free to run about? Please explain that Tan Sri. In the interest of the nation's peace and harmony, do what is right for the country, not what is right for the ruling party. Siti Zabedah Kasim - Siti Zabedah Kasim
