FMT

As the government comes under fire for using the soon-to-be abolished law to detain alleged terrorists, critics are told to let the police do their job.

‘Enlightened’ Jeffrey recalls ISA’s cruelty

Sabah's political son Jeffrey Kitingan wasn't a hardened criminal but it was a living-death under the 'not too cruel' ISA.

By Nilakrisna James

Jeffrey Kitingan is an enigma, not least because he is partly elusive, partly unpredictable and partly Houdini.
You can never really find him and when you do, he very quickly disappears.

As his friend and compatriot in a civil rights mission, I know him and yet I don’t and, as a friend, you tend to wonder if he would ever fully trust you.

ISA abolition due to ineffectiveness as instrument of fear

KOTA KINABALU, Sep 17, 2011: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) President Datuk Yong Teck Lee said the announcement by the Prime Minister on the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA) is because it is no longer an effective instrument of fear.

He said the ISA abolition has got nothing to do with the BN government being suddenly enlightened on freedom for the people. 

"It is shameful for BN leaders and ministers who now heap praises on the PM as though the PM or the BN government has only now awakened to the injustice of detention without trial allowed under the ISA.

Wikileaks: pressure on ISA

Wikileaks: Mounting pressure on ISA by BN-Umno government for its political ends and insurance policy for staying in power was abused in various forms. 


ISA was implemented during insurgence period of Communists in Malaya but now has been used by Umno against their political rivals.
