The police should not have acted so brutally against a peaceful demonstration for a good cause to abolish the ISA which has stifled the growth of this nation for almost 50 years. The police brutality must be condemned strongly by all peace loving Malaysians.
Today the RAKYAT have spoken — and spoken out loud and clear — against the Internal Security Act (ISA). It makes no difference whether it was a gathering of 10,000, 20,000 or 100,000. The rakyat today want the draconian ISA ABOLISHED — NOT REVIEWED. Under the ISA, the police/government has the power to detain anyone indefinitely without trial. In a democratic society, no one can conscientiously support the ISA in whatever form, as it violates all the basic principles of human right enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Right (UDHR).
As a former ISA detainee myself, I know of the cruel, degrading and inhuman treatments that detainees had to go through.
Even the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (SUHAKAM) had made the following finding in relation to detainees detained under section 73 of the ISA:
but why only the malyas is out on that days, why are the chinese not out. do there support ISA?????

sebab bangsa cina guna kan kepala otak dia orang untuk berfikir dan melayu gunakan kepala b***h untuk bertindak.
ge12, BN telah di beri amaran dengan 5 negri hilang kuasa dan 2/3 majority di parlimen pun sudah tiada.
maka orang cina akan mengundi pakatan pada ge13 dan BN akan hilang kuasa untuk memerintah negara.
sementara itu orang melayu asyik sibuk terpekik terlolong dijalanan macam orang gila.
namun KENYATAANNYA mereka juga mesti menunggu ge13 untuk menukarkan ISA.
Adakah melayu begitu bodoh dan fikir oleh sebab mereka berdemo maka BN akan hapuskan ISA?
Adakah melayu begitu bodoh dan fikir Agong itu ada kuasa untuk menghapuskan ISA?
YB
Agree with you 100%!
Throw the ISA out and let’s see how BN rules with no automatic arrests without warrants and detentions without trial.
Then the cops will have to get down to honest evidence gathering and advanced CSI methods instead of wild arrests and massaging the crime statistics to make it look as though they are over performing!

We are all of 1 Race, the Human race. That is all that really matters.
Sorry folks,
BN and PR no diiference – pot calling kettle black.
I hope Malaysians realise, it is not about the rakyat but selected few.
At the end of the day, maybe BN is better as the saying goes. the devil is better than the dark blue sea…
ISA is truly out of context, irrelevant and misused.
No more communist threat. Why keep the ISA? ISA is to protect the security of the UMNOputra and not the country. As YB has pointed out that there are more than sufficient laws combat subversion and terrorism, why ISA?
If Najib is serious to make this country into 1Malaysia and People First nation, then abolish ISA immediately.
lets demo at wangsa maju! lets demo at wangsa maju!
every weekend. @ wangsa maju !
YB ? Beran ?
The police should allow peaceful gathering/demonstration to handover petition to the king. This is part of a democratic society. Where is the freedom of assembly, freedom of movement and freedom of speech in Malaysia.
Are we moving towards a police state?
No more communist threat at all. Why was there a necessity to keep the ISA? ISA must be abolished.
The laws as stated in YB posting are more than sufficient to cover all the eventualities. So the government should not fear. The country is well protected by the existing laws.
May be the positions of the power that may not be sufficiently protected.
Quite honestly, do you really need to demonstrate and caused so much inconvenience for the people. last Friday and Saturday I was caught in bloody jams for almost 2 and half hours – a journey normally took me half and hour became a 3 hours.
Please don”t inconvenience the people. I am against ISA but i am fed up with the inconvenience.
abolish ISA immediately – igt mcm flush toilet papers dlm jamban ka?
agree with chan. so called ‘silent majority’, how bout the othera, or the even BIGGER silent majority who were directly-indirectly effected by the saturday’s street demo? freedom of speech and rights lah konon.
we r truly reversing bck to the zaman batu.
only 20 thousands say dont want ISA…how about the rest 26.8 millions? Does 20 thousands represents 27 millions? Are we sure there is no more communist in this country?
hye there….y United States still jail me in Guantanamo?
Abolish ISA??? We, Malaysian, are not mature enuf to be responsible….our country still very fragile. Anything that happen will quickly turn into racial issue and one crazy so call leader can easily make use of people emotion for his own agenda. ..(so people forgot about his issues…you know what i mean).
Lets have next “peace gathering” against ISA in Wangsa Maju and have also few Mat Selamat there. Ok?
20K only dont want ISA..very few YB…forget about it..just take care your Wangsa Maju..
Hi ‘my name is Isa’,
actually 20k is a hell lot more compared to about a handful of them who was protesting for pro-ISA near central market…i don’t think these few pro ISA boys represent 27million malaysians either..
Still not to late to comment. Agreed that the ISA should be reviewed. The demo is to create havoc. Satan like to create havoc. I think this is the work of datuk saitan anak iblis kind of person.
