ISA Act in Question

Coming back to our political battlefield, where it has taken another bend, three person held under the ISA for threatening national security. Since that action was taken rave reviews has been pouring out of various individuals and community alike, many stating dissatisfaction. Hence these events (as always when some governmental decision is criticised) prompted reactions from within the cabinet. Just look at the following

Issues should not be queried openly, says Syed Hamid
THE three arrests made under the Internal Security Act (ISA) were a government decision and should not be questioned by any minister, reported Utusan Malaysia.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said this as a response to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Zaid Ibrahim’s statement that judicial laws should have been used instead of the ISA.

Syed Hamid said Malaysia would be in a crisis if every minister with his own stand started questioning another minister’s decisions openly in the media.

“Zaid is a Cabinet member and if he has his own opinion, he should bring it straight to the Prime Minister. If one Cabinet member carries out his duty and another one openly criticises it, I don’t know where we will go or what will happen,” he said.

PAS Youth chief Salahuddin Ayub had spoken out against the United States’ summoning of Malaysia’s top envoy, Ilango Karup-pannan, regarding the three ISA arrests, reported Berita Harian.
“
They are only pretending to sympathise. We should remember what the US did to Third World countries previously when they clearly had hidden agendas.

“The three arrests under the ISA happened in Malaysia. No matter what, the citizens and government alone should determine the outcome,” he said.

Well I would try not be too critical of my remarks here, but what i can say is that our hopeless system is again coming up with double standards. IF the arrest on this three individuals were possible why isn't any action taken against others who in the past has sought to put the nations racial harmony under the knife. A good example was some so-called leaders and his associates in the north who was the source of such racial statements. Not much was done against that particular individual(You know who i am talking about) and he was not put under ISA, so why should this three noble individuals. Come on, we, the rakyat residing in the 21st century, with education standards of the west, can surely think. If confidence in the government was anywhere to go, it would be down the drain, flushing over the SMART tunnel.
