If Pak Lah is serious about abolishment of ISA….
Malaysiakini reported on 17th July 2009:
“As a former home minister, I had signed numerous ISA detention orders, and with the government reviewing the law now, I feel compelled to give my honest view on the matter,” he explained.
[...]“Whether we like it or not, the ISA has been stigmatised as a negative element to the agenda of strengthening democracy and renewal in the country.
“So, this calls for the government to be brave to discard the old and open a new chapter,” he was quoting as saying by Bernama.
Abdullah believed that the government must be courageous to bring about such change (abolishing the ISA) as its commitment to the agenda of democratic renewal in the country.
If Pak Lah is serious about what he said, he should then join the upcoming “Himpunan Mansuh ISA” on 1st August 2009. Pak Lah, as the ex-PM, should lead the charge to Istana Negara.
Would he dare?
