Late to the party again but I've been busy with my examinations for the past few weeks so I didn't have time to write anything on this particular subject. So anyway, a few weeks ago, I read an article on the New Straits Times which states that the government is actually planning to abolish the ISA along with the repeal and review of a few other Nazi-like laws that can be found in your books if you study law.
However, we must take note of the fact that our Prime Minister, Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, has also stated that the ISA will be replaced by two new laws which will "safeguard peace and order". Below is an extract from freemalaysiatoday.com
"Najib said the two new laws would be formulated “under the spirit and umbrella” of Article 149 of the Federal Constitution to prevent subversive elements as well as fighting organised terrorism and crime, in order to safeguard peace and public order."
From this line, it is obvious that the laws that are going to replace the Internal Security Act are going to be similar to the Internal Security Act itself. In short, the ISA is not being abolished. It is being renamed and split into two acts. If anything, we can expect the tyranny of the BN regime to introduce laws that are worse than the ISA itself.
No matter how you look at it, removing an act and then introducing two similar laws is does NOT mean that it is being abolished. It is only being renamed and split into two acts. So Mr. Prime Minister, kindly stop talking cock and spreading it all over the headlines because those who are decent enough to look for the truth will know that this is a huge ass lie already. I mean, seriously. This issue has been debated in the parliament for decades already. Why would the BN regime suddenly decide to abolish it? The answer is simple; GE13 is coming. This is just the Prime Minister's latest move to gain support from the people so that he can reclaim the states he lost to the opposition.
I will however, give the Prime Minister and the BN regime some credit. They are certainly doing a good job at spreading their propaganda. They have been spreading this all over the news broadcasted on their TV stations along with the printing press. Newspaper headlines are filled with praises of Najib 'abolishing' this particular act. Don't forget, we are talking about a whole bunch of Malaysians who can't use their heads and think properly to see through the lie. They will seriously buy anything the government tells them. In fact, if you told them that we're actually getting fair prices for our own cars, they'd believe it!
So, Malaysia to become a pro-democratic country? In your dreams, kids. However, I certainly do hope that I am wrong about this so if anyone wishes to prove me wrong, go ahead.
