There must be something wrong with us Malaysians.
Section 8(1) of the ISA provides three grounds given in Section 8(1) upon which the detention order may be based is where a person has acted in any manner prejudicial to the:
a) security of Malaysia or part thereof; or
b) maintenance of essential services; or
c) economic life
Look at these names
Lim Kit Siang
Yap Pian Hon
Kua Kia Soong
Lim Guan Eng
Tan Chai Ho
Lee Chan Fei
Kerk Kim Hock
Song Kang Swee @ S.K. Song
Sim Tong Him
Yau Jiok Hua
Khaled Abu Samad
Tajuddin Abdul Rahman
Wee Choo Keong
Mohamed Fahmi Ibrahim
all went in for ISA during Ops Lalang 20 years ago.
all in some point of their life became elected representatives of the people, either at state or national level.
Quite a number are currently serving as MPs or State Assemblymen.
Are we Malaysians habitually voting in people who are no good for the country?
Or is this ISA thingy a bad thing, allowing innocent people with dissenting views to be held without any hope for defense?
