Anwar, the power chaser recently signed the media that many of the Chinese leaders from BN would jump to his party to enable him to form the new government based on simple majority in parliament. If MCA were to leave the Barisan, I dare say that it will change our political culture drastically and lead to the county’s political damage.
A country with a multi-racial society like Malaysia needs a mix in order to have a peaceful environment for everyone. So, to have all Chinese-based parties going to the opposition and only Malay-based parties in the ruling coalition would definitely create more tension for the country, which is bad for business and the economy. MCA has form a crutial part of Malaysian politics in the sense that they represent a sole Chinese party. This system has proven to be effective, where party represent their own race, and agree upon any matter via consensus between them. Frankly speaking, this system is favouring us and has contribute to this country’s stability.
If Pak Lah has become the liability to UMNO, Anwar has become the liability to Malaysia. I am totally agree if Anwar has now becoming a threat to national security and economy. Anwar’s left-handed movement has cause the country on stake. He confidently said previously that the present government will cease to hold effect since he will take over the federal government on 16 of September. But nothing happened. Now he put on a new date, and hesitates the country’s economic development.
This will induced the FDI of our country, and the investors becoming more afraid to roll on their money. For safety purposes, they prefer to wait and see until our economic get stable. This will eventually destroy our economic. Considering the current stake of American stock exchange, which are now struggling to live, I am sure we will feel the heat and effect after several months. Politics and economic goes side by side. Lanslide of politics will bring the economy down.
Why are now people are againsting this act? Why? Is it because it is now aiming for the oppositions? After 51 years this act has secure our country’s peace, just because of one man’s factor, people want to get rid of this act. Did they stood the same thing when this act was imposed to Jemaah Islamiah, KMM, and Al-Ma’unnah? Come on, be fair to the people. Donot drowned by the ideas that this act has violated the fundemental liberties of the people, but think of the consequences caused by those protestors to our country’s stability. Which is more important?
As to whether Anwar has become a threat to the national security, I leave it to the police. ISA has been critisized harshly therefore any action to impose this act in the future must undergo a very detail and precise measurement. By all means, this act must stay. Its original objective is to prevent any person who was believed to cause national threat and disharmony to the country. Though it looks like to be applied to the terrorist, in certain cases, it can be applied to anybody too in which the person was believed to cause national threat, without considering his/her background, whether he/she comes from any political party or organization. Its not fair for us to prevent this act from politician. Even if he is a politician, but if he has satisfies the qualification of causing a threat to the national security, we must take him down.
This is just a piece of my estimation as I am not inducing any party to impose the ISA to anyone. But if my country is on stake of fear, I take no fear to act within my capacity as a citizen of Malaysia.

I totally agree with u Dr Siddiq. Get rid of him!!!! Take him down!
He has cause so much damage and pain. May Allah forgive him and lead to the right path…
I will never forgive him for the turmoil he has cause………
sid, i believe that ISA is important than anything else to ensure the stability in the country. But it’s a matter how it’s being used. Is ISA open for abuse?
As long as the law made by the people, it is a law to be abused by the people.
But ISA should be seen in more wider perspective, and not only focusing on the fundemental liberties of certain individual, but the country’s stability is much more important.
Salam Doc,
I think Anwar prefers to be detained under ISA, rather than being humiliated in court with the sodomy case.
If he is detained under ISA, another political mileage to gain. Since ISA lately has not been dear to the public, Anwar or PKR will definitely claim that he is a victim of injustice, to stop him from taking over because “he’s now got the number”.
So imposing ISA on Anwar will add more spice to Anwar’s non stop drama.
Wassalam.
i believe anwar never give up on this crappy thing.. he know what to do.. its just a matter of time
asslamualaikum doc,
berapa ye umur doc yang sebenarnya.. sya setuju anwar kembali ke isa.. what he up to… saya pasti isa pun mengalu alu kan..
he gonna pay for what he did. isa should be his home. life imprisonment for him if can.
asslamualaikum dr,
Selamat hari lahir yang ke 21. Pada pandangan saya jika hendak komen, biarlah berbudi bahasa. Komenlah dengan cara yang baik. Tunjukkanlah bahawa inilah rakyat malaysia, supaya orang lain tidak memandang rendah mentaliti kita.
I’m seriously sick & tired of the M’sian political drama which seems to be from bad to worst none of it that benefits ppl like us .. the whole world is going to collapse (economy) and here our leaders are fighting for positions .. what on earth are they thinking?!
Even whomever becomes the PM, does it matter any more when the whole economy, the country’s stability, the system is gone, kapish! .. then the finger pointing wil start and the drama will never end .. and how about us? the citizens of Malaysia .. we have more rights than any of this stupid heartless politicians as we lived in it!
The country is like our house, I simply dun wan anyone to stroll in, wrecked it and leave as & when they like .. halooo .. ITS MY HOUSE! Dun they (politicians) get it! They’re just merely being assigned by us to run the country not run our lives. Just like pak guard! That’s it .. except a little more responsibility and being paid by our $$$$ … IT’S OUR MONEY!!!!
I love my country! And definitely won’t allow some psycho to run it .. definitely a NO! A BIG NO! NEVER! ..
ISA should stay. it was there with a purpose. i don’t understand some of our malaysian compatriot. i believe they are being screwed by this so call democracy callings by anwar and his brainless associates. even the so call democratic usa has their patriot act, for security purpose, so why are we complaining about ISA, unless you have something else in mind, like anwar. guys, just forget about this anwar, too much time lost because of his antics, he just need a mother. pity him….he is out of his mind now..
Malaysia will not progress as long as ISA is here to stay.
yup.. Malaysia was at peace until he was discharged.. i believe ISA should remain in Malaysia.. Singapore also has dis kind of law but but no one question it.. but y Malaysia?? ISA is not a problem to d Malaysians unless he has d mala fide intention to create chaos in Malaysia.. Anwar will bring down our country.. i never believe him n will never…
Believe me, he’ll never b d hero of d Malay nor chinese nor indian nor others.. his face full of hatred..
charlie, if you say so, ISA has been there for almost 48 years, but we still competent enough in term of economics and technology. and we was before in a stable country. the present chaos caused by those ambitious politician and certain people of interest. ISA never cause us any political and economic disfunctionality. it is a shield to protect the national security.
charlie, i don’t get it when you said malaysia will not progress if ISA stays. please look around, usa, singapore, it seems all countries have this kind of act but with different names. and you didn’t question them, no body bothers, but why you are so concern about ISA, unless it affect you. i don’t think so, unless you are thinking of doing something that can affect the security and stability. to progress, we need commitment, desire, etc….and stability. to be stable, we need control. isa is just a tool to control, only if not being abused.
yup isa is a just a tool to control, if there no control, it will be more worse
your thought was very good. i like your writing sir.
hariz, I agree with you. Dr. Sid looks at things from a different perspective, to me it’s more productive & positive similar thinking to Tun .. I must admit.
And pls keep the ISA, we’ve been having it for so long and we’re just okay! Just like when you buat kacau in school you’ll be sent to detention .. so what difference is it? You have to pay for your irresponsible actions … You even punish your kids when they cause trouble don’t you?
Sometimes with greed & power, we human tends to get overboard at the expense of others. And that’s not fair! I hope Anwar will be sent far far away from earth .. Actually, he doesn’t belong anywhere, tau buat kacau jer! Causing more damage than good and we’ll be sold onced he steps in as PM .. no longer an Independant country .. trust me!
Mim’s, I trust your word, Anwar is threat to national security, put him into jail under ISA, give him boiled egg
hahahahaha..rupa-rupanya kita semua makan makanan anjing..rumah orang kahwin bag telur rebus pun makanan anjing..gle lawak teresa ni..hahahahahaha
U r dead wrong abt mca, its present struggle and future moves.
Really surprise at your racial based comments about political party.
Where hv u been in the last few months, not well read ka ?
Where did i went wrong? i dare you to correct me.
siddig you should be the minister of publicity for umno because of the million over members not one could command thousand of audience like anwar could
Tun Mahathir Mohamad should not be left out of ISA dragnet too. Let him stay in the solitary confinement side by side with Anwar Ibrahim so that both of them can continue their good fight in Kamunting Detention Camp. Of course, Raja Petra Kamarudin can be the referee who will decide who wins in the “Mahathir versus Anwar” debate! Then all of us can loudly shout “Hidup Dato Sri Syed Hamid Albar!” Let’s join together to turn the bolehland into ISA land! Let noone become the only sane man in ISA land except Dato Sri Syed Hamid Albar. “Dato Sri Syed Hamid Albar boleh!” “UMNO boleh!” “Melayu boleh!” “Malaysia boleh!”
There is a very simple solution to all this. It should be made breathtakingly clear by the authorities to Anwar Ibrahim that either one of two things is going to happen:
1. On October 13, Anwar Ibrahim will succeed in obtaining a vote of no-confidence and he will assemble his new government
or failing that,
2. On October 13 if his “no confidence” vote does not succeed, he will be detained immediately afterward under ISA and kept until he is no longer a problem.
It’s “put up or shut up” time for Anwar Ibrahim. Actually, 916 was “put up or shut up” time for him. But if he fails in his “vote of no confidence” on October 13, the constant disruptions of the political process and of the economy resulting from his political shenanigans must be halted at once.
Dr. Sid, you say “his system has proven to be effective, where party represent their own race, and agree upon any matter via consensus between them.”
You are wrong. The system SEEMED effective. All opposing voices were quashed before it could see the light of day.
Consensus? What consensus? UMNO tells the other component parties to jump, and the respond they get is “how high”.
Is Anwar is a problem? I don’t know. Is Pak Lah a problem? I don’t know either. I do know Pak Lah is incapable. Thanks to him … Malaysia is going thru a phase of redefining itself. It’s time to look beyond the color of your skin … it’s time to stand up as One Nation.
Anwar a threat to national security?Reminds me of one speech by Anwar at the School of Advanced International Studies 2005 title “The United States and the Muslim World”.
“In the case of Iraq, the war, and I dont mean to be candid here, has yielded the country’s first democratic elections. In this regard, I make no bones about my opposition to the war as a matter of principle, but I am not ashamed to concede that the voices of freedom in Iraq are now finding expression.”
Tell that to the 1267401 innocent dead Iraqis.So its ok if Iraq remains the world’s dangerous place as long as the voices of freedom can be heard.
Idea yang baik dr Sid. isa memang perlu bagi negara malaysia. negara berbilang kaum,bangsa, agama dan budaya, perlu ada akta kawalan seperti isa. telah terbukti berjaya menjaga keamanan negara, memangla ada orang menudu di salah guna isa ni..! tapi apa yg penting perkara besar seperti keamanan, kestabilan politik dan ekonomi terjamin. jangan la hanya kerna tuntutan demokrasi kita sanggup korbankan keharmonian negara kita. fikirla wahai saudara2 malaysia ku.
i like your style.it reflects a-normal-yet-typical-thoughtless-minded-student.if i found you’re one of my college-mate,i’ll make sure,you’ll get ban from the university immediately.what a disgrace for a youth community.get up and think further dude!
Ketua Pemuda UMNO Bahagian Pasir Mas menipu pengamal media. Ikuti kisah lanjut dalam http://manzaidiamn.blogspot.com
Dear Dr.
I am agree to on the certain part but not all. What is the problem to have a strong opposition ? Even in developed country they have at lease two strong different political party. Just look into Democrat and Republican in USA. So, by using ISA to the opposing political party is very unhealthy to the development of our country.
I think we a over reacting to the current political situation in Malaysia because this is the 1st time we have a strong opposition. So just let the process flows and reserve the use of ISA only to terrorist.
I think, what happened to our economy is nothing to do with Mr. Anuar. Good or bad economy, its all due to the present government.
do you like his style or jealous that he can make such writing? well he better than culprits like you that argue rubbish thing.. nonsense allegation.. well this a democracy country… it just an opinion .. what did you expect for? silence for nothing.. and youre hopelesss rarat…
well i respected several commentor that opposed the ideas with good manner.. that was pro
I strongly believed the latest action taken by the government toward RPK today will backfire them flat out in the next GE .
This coward action by BN and seconded by person like you will definately give a bonus to the opposition .
If the govt feel RPK is wrong , charge him in court or unless BN got no ball at all ( is that too difficult to understand )
And for u … How would you feel if the present govt did the same thing to your beloved ?
Dr. Siddiq,
I think Syed Hamid Albar should also include your name in the ISA arrest list. The reasons are quite simple:
1) If you are a true doctor, your talking about nonsense here with poor English which is full of grammatical error has already spoilt the national image of Malaysia and therefore you have posed threat to the national economy of Malaysia. When the prospective foreign students who plan to do their further study in Malaysia find that Malaysia’s education system only produces doctor like you who only has a bad command of English, they will hold back their decision of coming to Malaysia and will turn to go other country which possesses higher educational standards like Singapore or Australia. Therefore Dr. Siddiq you are a real threat to our economy.
2) If you are a fake doctor, then your sheer cheating behaviour will justify the Police’s detaining you under ISA because you talk nonsense here with poor English but it may mislead foreigners that Malaysia is only a underdeveloped country since you have given people a wrong perception that Malaysia can only produce a half past six doctor like you who only shows such a poor standards of educational quality of Malaysia!
Then you shall have a chance to taste your own piss in the ISA detention camp!
Woi pak jangggut, janngut hang dah panjang tang mana? Cukup panjang ka? Apa yang ko cakap ni? It was really annoying. Of course not your language, cause your language are superb ( woooo… budget tul). Klu dia salah pun apa salah ko tolong betulkan ke? Ke ko cakap je.., threat ekonomi negara la… Abes klu semua pikir cam hang hancur negara.. nak slahkan orang lain.. bukan nak menolong.. pemikiran hang yang busuk… aku rasa otak ko power sangat la… sampai komen pun tah apa apa.. dr siddiq lebih baik hang tak yah approve pak janggut ni .. buat menyemak je…
Assalamualaikum Pak Janggut!
Pada pandangan sy language is not a very big deal. Yet your comment, had no basic. Your mentality are really that low.. pathetic guy.
salam and good day for all of u….
for me it simple….
1) Politik itu kotor dan busuk….
2) Manusia semakin menjadi hipokrit dan munafik…
3) Manusia semakin gila kuasa,pangkat,harta…..
4) Manusia semakin lupa yang mereka ini akan mati akhirnya….
oleh itu marilah kita semua rakyat MALAYSIA balik ke pangkal jalan………….
For Muslim we only have 2 way to follow:
1) al-quran
2) Hadith Nabi
salam and nice day….
Dear Dr. Sid,
Enjoyed reading your article. True enough this Anwar should be kept under ISA, he is really a nuisance to the country. he is a selfish gay who dreams of being a PM even when he is wide awake. Really don’t ubderstand why our foolish PM let him out last time & now what happened Anwar is biting him back. Yes, your English is okay, I think that fellow Pak Janggut is a clown himself.
Continue writing but be cautious of what you write to avoid being detained by ISA.
Regards,
Jc
Mak Janggut sudah naik marah! Mungkin malam nak tidur senyap sunyi pun susahlah! Lagipun, Anak Janggut juga kurang ajar, nak ikut marahkan aku pulak! Kalau kamu semua ini ada otak, haruslah fikir macammana nak membatalkan ISA yang zalim itu. ISA memanglah melanggar prinsip-prinsip ugama Islam dan tidak bersifat peri kemanusiaan. Janganlah tunggu sampai semua orang kita sekeluarga sudah dinyalakan dalam jaring ISA barulah nak minta tolong Tuhan. Mestilah kita semua orang ikut arahan Tuhan dulu sebelum kita memberikan sokongan kepada tidakan penyalahgunaan ISA oleh Syed Hamid Albar.
Mak Janggut dan Anak Janggut,
Kamu semua orang mestilah belajar al-Quran bersungguh-sungguh. Janganlah beri sokongan kepada Syed Hamid Albar dalam usahanya untuk menyalahgunakan ISA yang zalim sampai sanggup menyeksa orang baik seperti Raja Petra Kamarudin. Kalau kamu tak takut akan ditahan bawah ISA oleh Syed Hamid Albar, patutlah kamu takut ada kemungkinan terhukum oleh Allah sampai dijatuhkan ke neraka jahanam! Haruslah kita semua minta pengampunan Tuhan segesa-gesanya sebelum terlalu lambat! Batalkan ISA!

ISA melawan prinsip al-Quran
Lau Weng San | May 26, 08 9:54pm
“Bahawa Dewan ini menetap untuk mengkritik penahanan Yang Berhormat Tuan M Manoharan, Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (Adun) kawasan Kota Alam Shah serta pemimpin-pemimpin Hindraf (Barisan Bertindak Hak-hak Hindu) dan aktivis-aktivis sosial yang lain tanpa perbicaraan bawah Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) dan menyeru Kementerian Dalam Negeri membebaskan tahanan-tahanan ini.”
Sehingga hari ini, kerusi untuk Adun Kota Alam Shah masih lagi kosong. Rakyat seluruh Malaysia terkejut pada 13 Disember 2007 apabila kelima-lima orang aktivis Hindraf iaitu P. Uthayakumar, V. Ganabatirau, R. Kenghadharan, T Vasantha Kumar serta ahli YB Kota Alam Shah telah ditahan mengikut Seksyen 8 akta ISA.
Kelima-lima orang ini merupakan para aktivis yang bergiat aktif dalam perjuangan untuk mengangkat martabat masyarakat kaum India yang selama ini ditekan dan ditindas oleh kerajaan BN.
Mengikut Seksyen 8 ISA, lima tahanan ini akan terus dihantar ke kem tahanan Kamunting dan ditahan di sana selama dua tahun bawah arahan menteri keselamatan dalam negeri tanpa melalui siasatan polis.
Inilah kali pertama Seksyen 8 digunakan untuk menahan seseorang.
Sebelum itu, tahanan-tahanan biasanya akan ditangkap bawah Seksyen 73 – seseorang itu akan ditahan bawah pemantauan polis selama 60 hari sebelum ditentukan sama ada seseorang tahanan itu wajar ditahan lanjut di Kamunting.
Saya berpendapat penahanan kelima-lima orang aktivis Hindraf ini bukan sahaja tidak adil, malahan tidak munasabah sama sekali, khususnya penahanan YB Kota Alam Shah, apabila seorang Adun telah dinafikan hak dan kebebasannya untuk menjalankan tugasnya sebagai seorang wakil rakyat.
Saya ingin mengetengahkan beberapa sebab mengapa penahanan ini patut dikritik dan tahanan-tahanan perlu dibebaskan tanpa syarat dengan segera.
Sebab pertama: YB Kota Alam Shah telah menang dengan undi majoriti yang besar.
Pada pilihanraya umum ke-12 yang baru berlangsung, YB Kota Alam Shah telah menang dengan majoriti sebanyak 7,184 undi biarpun beliau masih ditahan di Kamunting bawah ISA dan tidak dapat hadir untuk berkempen.
Kejayaan besar ini bukan sahaja satu kejayaan besar untuk DAP dan beliau sendiri, malahan ia juga merupakan satu tamparan kepada kerajaan pusat bahawa ia tidak boleh terus menahan mereka yang tidak bersalah tanpa perbicaraan melalui ISA.
YB Kota Alam Shah ditahan berikutan penglibatannya dalam Hindraf. Sebenarnya, apa yang dilakukan oleh YB Kota Alam Shah selama ini hanyalah untuk memperjuangkan hak asasi untuk golongan masyarakat India yang tertindas dan terpinggir dan ia tidak mengancam keselamatan negara.
Oleh itu, YB Kota Alam Shah harus dilepaskan serta-merta agar beliau dapat menunaikan sumpahnya sebagai Adun dan menjalankan tugasnya dengan sempurna.
Dalam sejarah Malaysia, terdapat dua orang tahanan ISA yang pernah mengambil bahagian dalam pilihanraya umum dan berjaya memenanginya semasa masih ditahan di bawah ISA.
Kedua-dua orang ini kebetulannya merupakan bekas ahli parlimen DAP iaitu Chiang Heng Kai dan mendiang Chan Kok Kit.
Kedua-dua mereka telah ditahan bawah ISA pada pertengahan 1970-an atas tuduhan menyokong elemen Komunis.
Biarpun begitu, kedua-dua mereka masih bertanding dalam pilihanraya umum pada 1978 dan menang dengan majoriti yang lebih besar.
Dalam konteks ini, saya ingin menyarankan supaya YB Kota Alam Shah dibebaskan daripada penahanan ISA agar beliau dapat kembali berkhidmat untuk rakyat di kawasannya.
Adun Kota Alam Shah tidak boleh ditahan secara berpanjangan di bawah ISA. Penahanannya secara tidak langsung telah menidakkan hak rakyat Kota Alam Shah untuk menyampaikan suara mereka ke dewan yang mulia ini.
Sebab kedua: Alasan penahanan YB Kota Alam Shah dan aktivis Hindraf lain terlalu lemah.
YB Kota Alam Shah dan aktivis Hindraf selama ini telah terlibat dalam pelbagai aktiviti sah untuk memperjuangkan hak masyarakat India yang ditindas dan dipinggirkan selama ini.
Kita harus memahami bahawa apa yang diperjuangkan oleh kelima-lima orang tahanan ini adalah untuk membawa isu peminggiran masyarakat kaum India yang diabaikan selama ini.
Hakikatnya, kita telah lihat sekurang-kurangnya 30,000 orang menyertai tunjuk perasaan yang diadakan pada 25 Oktober lalu.
Tunjuk perasaan ini yang disertai oleh rakan-rakan berketurunan India kita dari seluruh pelusuk negara telah membuktikan bahawa perjuangan mereka ini adalah berasas.
Malahan naib ketua Pemuda Gerakan, S. Paranjothy dalam artikelnya yang bertajuk ‘Discrimination from Womb to Tomb menyatakan bahawa 30,000 warganegara berketurunan India yang mengambil bahagian dalam tunjuk perasaan tersebut kerana mereka telah lama dipinggirkan, ditindas dan tidak dipedulikan.
Rakyat India merupakan golongan yang tertindas di dalam struktur ekonomi Malaysia, seperti yang terbukti dalam beberapa petunjuk termasuk kemasukan universiti.
Mereka dilayan seolah-olah mereka merupakan warga kelas keempat.
Di pusat penahanan Simpang Renggam, yang menempatkan kira-kira 1,600 orang tahanan, lebih seribu daripada mereka terlibat dengan penyalahgunaan dadah, manakala 574 orang disyaki terlibat dalam aktiviti-aktiviti jenayah.
Biarpun hanya lapan peratus daripada jumlah rakyat Malaysia terdiri warga India, tetapi lebih daripada 48% daripada tahanan-tahanan di pusat ini merupakan kaum India, sekali gus menunjukkan bagaimana runcingnya masalah sosial yang dihadapi oleh masyarakat ini.
Sebab ketiga: ISA mencaburi prinsip hak asasi manusia.
ISA merupakan punca segala bentuk undang-undang penindasan di negara ini, malah ia lebih berbisa jikalau dibandingkan dengan undang-undang zalim yang lain seperti Akta Rahsia Rasmi (OSA), Akta Penerbitan dan Mesin Cetak (PPPA), Akta Polis dan Akta Hasutan.
Untuk itu, ISA sepatutnya dimansuhkan kerana ia sudah tidak sepadan dengan perlindungan hak asasi manusia.
ISA juga telah disalahgunakan sebagai satu instrumen oleh pemerintah untuk menekan suara pembangkang dan masyarakat madani untuk kepentingan politik mereka.
Dalam kebanyakan kes ISA, akta ini telah digunakan oleh polis untuk menahan mereka yang disyaki mengugat kedudukan pemerintah biarpun pihak pemerintah masih tiada apa-apa bukti kukuh.
Terdapat banyak judul tulisan yang dihasilkan berkaitan dengan ISA. Antara yang terkenal tidak lain tidak bukan buku berjudul Freedom under Executive Power in Malaysia yang ditulis oleh menteri luar sekarang, iaitu Datuk Seri Utama Dr Rais Yatim yang juga merupakan timbalan menteri dalam negeri dari tahun 1976 hingga 1978.
Beliau dalam buku itu telah menyifatkan bagaimana menteri dalam negeri menandatangani arahan penahanan ISA secara automatik hanya bergantung kepada cadangan polis tanpa menggunakan tanggungjawab mereka sebagai menteri untuk mengesahkan keperluan untuk menahan seseorang itu di bawah ISA.
Beliau telah menulis bahawa:
“That there are clear violations of human rights by invoking the ISA and other draconian legislation is an understatement.
The misery that these executive laws have brought upon individuals have left a clear message: there is a state of confusion in the real, accepted meaning of the phrase ‘prejudicial to the security of Malaysia.’
The meaning of this phrase which is thematic in the ISA as well as under Articles 149 and 150 of the Constitution is systematically left to the discretion of the executive.” (p. 293-4)
Ahli YB dari Hulu Kelang pernah menulis siri lapan buku yang bertajuk Suara Dari Kamunting semasa beliau masih ditahan bawah ISA pada tahun 2001. Ahli YB dari Kota Damansara juga merupakan seorang mangsa ISA di bawah Ops Lalang 1987.
ISA juga bertentangan dengan ajaran agama. Misalannya, ia bercanggahan dengan prinsip-prinsip kebenaran dan keadilan seperti yang diterangkan dalam al-Quran, iaitu ayat 58 surah an-Nisa’, ayat 15 surah as-Syura dan ayat 90 surah an-Nahl.
Apa yang jelas, penahanan seseorang tanpa perbicaraan merupakan satu bentuk pencabulan hak asasi manusia yang patut dikutuk dan dikritik sekeras-kerasnya, khususnya dalam kes ini di mana seorang wakil rakyat telah dinafikan hak dan kebebasannya untuk menjalankan tugasnya sebagai seorang wakil rakyat.
Lebih-lebih lagi, seperti yang dimaklumkan dalam kenyataan Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI) pada hari ini, terdapat 16 keluarga mangsa ISA yang telah dikenal pasti tinggal di Selangor.
Dengan itu, saya memohon supaya usul ini dipersetujui.
Lau Weng San, setiausaha DAP Selangor, juga Adun Kampung Tunku. Artikel ini asalnya teks ucapan beliau di DUN Selangor sewaktu membawa usul tergempar mengkritik ISA pada 26 Mei.
Even if Dr Siddiq is a fake doctor, he is not practising medicine here. So what’s the problem here. Are having too much of telur and cucumber?
A little bit history lesson may do justice in your opinion. Such detentions were also practiced during the era of Abbasid caliphs. So can we say the caliphs were not Islamic though they were reading Arabic.
I wonder if you are a muslim, because you prefer the intepretation of the holy Quran by non-muslim. You can simply pick any versus here and there to you benefit, and interprete according to your appetite.
Shame on these people, they keep too much of Anwar’s bullshit in their head that they are now seeing black turning white.
Peerah!!!
pak janggut,
sorry to say, my thinking is so simple, may be racist too..
orang india dalam dunia memang macam tu kot, lihat di india,pakistan,bangladesh,depa memang suka buat masaalah. patut pun control guna isa. dengan tahap permikiran rakyat seperti yang kita ada hari, saya rasa kalau di berikan kebebasan mutlak besar kemungkinan negara akan lebih mudaratkan lagi.
sebenarnya orang melayu,cina pun macam tu, tengok indonesia.melayu la tu, kelam kabut juga.Bangsa cina, saya tak tau la nak bandingkan bengan negara mana,tanah besar china atau taiwan kot atau singapore yang ada isa tu, ala lu orang pikirlah sediri.
prevention isbetter than cure islam is for this . isa is for prevention.ulama pls comment
Pak Janggut,
Kenapa defend Hindraf? U pun tau yg die org claim yg kaum Indi’ kene ethnic cleansing, mini genocide..pls read, read, read. Itu statement bahaya, if Malaysia did excactly like the Serbs did to Bosnia, it’s acceptable. Please do not talk abut Islam and if you are just a dumb ass. You should also read RPK’s articles about Islam, so again please read, read, read. Jgn jadi bodoh kayu.
In many occasions, ISA had been invoked not because of prevention purpose in order to preserve the national security or to ensure availability of important service such as hospitalisation service during war or natural calamities. ISA had been misused in order to curb voices of dissidents or dissenters. In other words, if the Home Minister does not like you because you call him Botak, then the Home Minister may send you to Kamunting Detention Camp. This is a crime. This crime is called “Misuse of Power” under the Anti-Corruption Act. The best way to prevent happening of such a “misuse of power” is to repeal ISA so that the Home Minister or the Police National Chief shall never be vested with too much power which is beyond the control of the Prime Minister. PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said that he never gave instruction to detain Teresa Kok or Tan Hoon Cheng under the ISA. The PM’s comment clearly showed that the Malaysian Government’s power grips are not vested only in one hand of the PM. If the PM is to lose control on the Home Minister or on the Police National Chief, then Malaysia will be subject to high risk exposure from possible insurgence started by ambitious facist elements in the Federal Government. Therefore the best way to prevent the uncontrollable misuse of power in the helm of Police power is to repeal the ISA.
alah bab depa kata kita dok bunuh geng depa hangpa tak kata racist pulak pak janggut.
kalau dah tak suka sangat dok malaysia p blik india la.
kebebasan bersuara tak semstinya bermaksud kita boleh kata apa yang kita suka especially kalau kita golongan minority
cuba kita p ke China atau India kita dok p kutuk kerajaan dia mau kena ketuk kita.so dok elok2 la kan senang semua bahagia
cari makan pun senang rezeki melimpah ruah.
Tah lah pulak, saya tidak buat salah seperti orang2 yang dikenakan ISA ni, jadi saya tidak perlu takut atau gentar, InsyaAllah, Dia memihak kepada yang benar.
pak janggut ni menyamar je, ckp pun macam pandai sangat macam lawyer india, klu tngok org nya tang dahi mungkin ada putu warna merah, sbb bermati-matian sokong hindraf macam anwar menari ikut gendang india masa by-election di Ijok, terus menulis Dr.Sid pedulikan org mcm pak janggut, kita nk hidup dlm aman, pada pandangan saya masyarakat Malaysia hidup aman damai, cuma ahli politik yg porak perandakan kaum, tengok sekeliling pasar ramadhan, shopping complex aman saja, melayu, cina, india, singh, mat salleh semua boleh brselisih bahu dan senyum, tp klu letak org politik tengah2 habis jd perkauman. ISA memang di perlukan untuk kestabilan, apa nk takut kalau tak buat salah, samalah kalau jd penjenayah tengok polis pun takut, klu boleh jangan ada polis, cuma org yg ada agenda tertentu saja yg bantah, anwar melenting bila Datuk Sri Rais kata dia agen amerika, klu x de angin masakan pokok bergoyang, pembaca tengok sendiri di http://anwaribrahimdotcom.bolgspot.com dlm you tube siapa anwar? (siri 8), pikir la sendiri.
Kak Din,
Sekarang orang biasa yang tidak membuat apa-apa juga boleh dituduh sebagai anasir yang membawa ancaman kepada keselamatan negara dan akan terus ditahan di bawah ISA berdasarkan pada lapuran fitnah dalam suratkhabar. Kuasa mutlak ISA adalah dipegang oleh Menteri Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri. Menteri-menteri juga adalah manusia yang sanggup buat kesalahan seperti menyalahgunakan kuasa, membuat keputusan silap kerana terdapat maklumat palsu, ataupun dibutakan oleh cita-cita politik dan ketamakan perseorangan. Menteri-menteri dan ketua polis bukanlah Allah. Jadi mereka kadang-kadang akan memberatkan sebelah kalau berlakunya pertikaian perkauman. Kita sudah punyai akta-akta yang mencukupi seperti Akta Hasutan ataupun Penal Code untuk memberikan kuasa kepada Polis dengan pemantauan mahkamah undang-undang sebagai sistem “checks and balances”. Kenapa pulak nak memberikan kuasa tahanan mutlak kepada Ketua Polis ataupun Menteri KDN untuk membawa ketegangan dan ketakuatan kepada semua golongan penduduk di Malaysia seperti ahli parti pembangkang, pelabur asing, pengurus dana modal, aktivis-aktivis social dan hak asasi manusia, ketua pergerakan penuntut-penuntut universiti, rakyat biasa yang suka mengarang seperti “kickdefella” dan sebagainya?
In a family, a father is the leader and to control the family for the benefit of family members sometimes the father has to use veto power. Similarly to the country whereby ISA is applicable to the recent and current scenario.
if the Home Minister does not like you because you call him Botak, then the Home Minister may send you to Kamunting Detention Camp. This is a crime….
What kind of argument is this….
The opposition leader had been using bad words to even the PM and nobody is been arrested..In fact all this gang deserve it ( ISA detention )they create havoc in this country.
The article you are promoting here are just looking at the right of the YB pls also look at the right of other people which is also the citizen/tax payer of these country.
I ask you and those who are against the ISA especially the DAP’S, go and criticize ISA in Singapore,let see who is still ‘walking tall’.
DSAI had been in the government for 10 years and during his tenure a few of opposition leader had been arrested under ISA but he dare to voice out.Indeed Zaid Ibrahim is much..much
braver than him.
So,be responsible citizen,don’t break the law and everybody is happy.
Dr Sid, when you said “we still competent enough in term of economics and technology”, who do you compare to?
By the way, I thought we are talking about politic here, so how to progress when the government use it to curb the oppposition voice? Why we want to keep an Act which is subject to abuse?
It is not true when some said nobody question or no one bother in other countries with ISA. For example, Singapore peoples do question about ISA but not as loud as Malaysian. That is because Spore last used ISA on a politician was in 1966. In recent years, it applies to terrorists.
In Malaysia, ISA is multi-purpose, it can even be used against journalist and bloggers as long as the governemnt feels that the fellow poses threat to national security? This is abused of power and diverted from the original purpose of using ISA againts terrorism. It has becomes a convenient tool to suppress opposing voice.
Some said I seems to be concerned about ISA. Of course I do because I “blog”.
You are safe now doesn’t mean you will be spared for the rest of your life. Furthermore, we should not voice out something only when it “affect” us, by the time is too late. The next government may think that you are the “threat to national security”. Do you have a chance to defend yourself? Don’t forget the government also another powerful weapon call Sedition Act.
The government think that what RPK said are not true, just prove it. Don’t have to lock him up and let those allegations pending.
Disaster!!! Another Malaysian being raised “which is a truely Malaysian”.. learn to be humble, mind own capability before comment others… pathetics, another True Malaysian was born again.. how could we expect a better tomorrow for Malaysia & Malaysian. Law Student!!! produce by malaysia..
Joke about Malaysian Politics
Boy: Dad, what’s Malaysian politics?
Dad: Let me set an example with our family. I have all the power to punish with such a family rule like “Inhouse Safety Agreement” (ISA) between you and I, so we’ll call me the Home Minister. Mom receives most of the benefits like peace and calm after I have punished you so we’ll call her the government. We’ll call the maid the silent commoner, you are the vocal people, and your baby brother is the future. Do you understand now son?
Boy: I still don’t understand dad.
Dad: Think about it for a while son.
That night the boy wakes up because his baby brother is crying. He goes in and finds out his baby brother has soiled his diapers. He goes to tell his mom but she’s asleep. Then he goes into the maid’s room but she is in there having sex with his dad. He bangs on the door but no one can hear him.
The next day…
Son: Dad I understand Malaysian politics now.
Dad: Good, explain it to me in your own words, son.
Son: The Home Minister is screwing the silent commoner while the government’s falling asleep. The vocal people are being ignored and the future is full of SHIT!
Dr.Saddiq’s blog this time is quiet interesting and very polemic .Even thoug Tok Janggut looked down upon you ,I believe most of what you wrote were true .Anwar was /is and will be power crazy .His death will put a full stop to it . He forgot who he was during his student days , when he was an MP , deputy Prime Minister , his friends in the west and now his ardent supporters from Hindraf . One day his Hindraf supportrs will get rid of him because he could not deliver their tantamount demands .
Now Charlie and Tok Janggut are championing the abolishment of ISA . Why are you two afraid of ISA ? Do you have hidden agenda together with Anwar . How many more demonstrations you intend to have until Anwar achieved his premiership ? ISA is considered an important tool to safe-guard a timid man like me . ISA will not hinder the progress of our country .It had been there for the past 50 years , yet our country progress and prosper . Anwar was against ISA and University Act during his student days but when he was Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia he did nothing to abolish them . These acts brought more good than harm to the country .Just look around and think what Anwar had done to the progress and economy of the country . He kept on telling the world that the he will be taking over the government . Foreign investors never enter the stock market because they want to wait and see . He had done a lot of damage to the country .
If ISA is abolished , I think there will be chaos and havoc in the country . Anwar’s godson Hindraf will be more agressive and creat more stories about ethnic clensing of the Hindus , the burning of temples ,bringing down of Hindu homes and so on. They went to the extent of bluffing their stories to the whole world . These bluffs are confirmed by the Bar Council . Before they went overboard I hope they ponder a little so that they didn’t offend the Muslim majority . In India they can do that because they are the majority but here in Malaysia the Malays will listen to their guardians : the Sultans . So please don’t threaten the national security and further more offend the Agong and the sultans.
I hope Charlie and Tok Janggut read Maysian History , Sejarah Melayu , Hang Tuah , Merong Mahawangsa ,etc.Have a better idea about Malacca Sultanate ,Semenanjung Tanah Malayu ,Tanah Melayu , Malaysia . Sometimes peoples voice their ideas through actions . They throw sticks and stones at innocent passers by , and burn houses and loot shops .Are these justice being practiced by the followers of Anwar and Hindraf ? You abolish ISA and bring more aggressive actions out of the animal souls of people who opposed to ISA. So please PKR and PR , win the 13th National Election through peaceful means and abolish ISA ,if you dare !
pada yang racist ni..aku cadangkan..income tax dr cina kita bagi kat cina…income tax melayu bagi melayu…income tax india bagi india…baru adil…Umno berani ke buat cam ni
NI yang payah nak bercerita. Awak nak samakan power Allah dengan manusia. Mana aci. Buat ponet aje bercakap dengan awak nih.
Apabila membaca teks ucapan setiausaha DAP Selangor, alangkah indahnya jika dia dapat merasai keindahan Islam.. setelah mengakui kebenaran & keadilan ajaran Islam. Mudah2an ramai yg terbuka hati utk menerima Islam, agama yg benar, suci, adil, indah, tenang, damai & segala2 yg terbaik itu hanyalah drpd Allah. Dan utk para muslim, let’s make Islam as our way of life. Tidak akan ada penyesalan di dunia & akhirat.
Apa yang boleh dikatakan lagi… Semua berbeza pendapat. Ada bezanya antara “kita” dengan ahli politik. Dan perbezaan itulah yang menjadikan kita hanya sebagai kita dan ahli politik hanyalah sebagai ahli politik. Bagi saya, ISA adalah hukuman yang bertopengkan undang-undang. Kenapa mesti disamakan dengan USA dan Singapura? Tahukah kita apa yang dinyatakan di dalam perlembagaan negara tersebut? Perlembagaan Malaysia menyatakan Islam adalah agama rasmi dengan tidak menafikan hak agama-agama lain. Itu hakikat yang perlu diterima bagi mereka yang mengaku sebagai rakyat Malaysia. Tidak kira Islam, Kristian, Buddha dan sebagainya, semuanya melarang menghukum seseorang tanpa diberikan perbicaraan yang adil. Jika benar seseorang itu disyaki bersalah, bawa ke mahkamah. Bicarakan dengan adil. Jika salah, jatuhkan hukuman. Tidak ada mana-mana agama yang menghalalkan kaedah “menghukum tanpa perbicaraan” melainkan jika kita tidak menganuti mana-mana agama. ISA adalah bentuk hukuman ” Ikut Suka Aku “. Itu maksud ISA. USA dan Singapura tidak mengiktiraf Islam sebagai agama rasmi di dalam perlembagaan mereka. Jika ada rakyat Malaysia yang tidak sukakan Islam, mereka tetap tidak boleh menafikan apa yang telah termaktub di dalam perlembagaan Malaysia. Dan jika mereka tidak dapat menerima hakikat ini, adakah mereka juga akan dikenakan ISA kerana menyanggah perlembagaan? Ataupun mereka ini sepatutnya lebih layak menjadi rakyat USA atau Singapura? Inilah akibatnya apabila agama dipisahkan dari politik ataupun corak pemerintahan yang hanya bertopengkan Islam. Perlembagaan menyatakan Islam agama rasmi tetapi tidak menyatakan cara pemerintahan Islam adalah cara pemerintahan rasmi bagi Malaysia. Adakah ini satu kesilapan atau…? Fikirkanlah sendiri.
Di Singapura, setiap hujung minggu kerajaan mereka menyediakan dan membenarkan sesiapa sahaja untuk berpidato di kawasan awam mengenai ketidakpuasan hati terhadap kerajaan dan orang ramai tidak dilarang untuk mendengar. Sehinggakan sekarang sudah kurang sambutannya. Di Malaysia pula, perlu dapatkan permit terlebih dahulu (yang semestinya agak mustahil untuk diluluskan). Kenapa Singapura berani membenarkan sedemikian? Kerana pemimpinnya tahu, kerajaan telah memberikan taraf hidup yang tinggi kepada rakyatnya. Ekonomi kukuh, persekitaran yang maju dan selamat dan kes rasuah atau salah guna kuasa yang terlalu sedikit di dalam kerajaan mereka. Persoalannya, adakah kerajaan Malaysia berani seperti Singapura?

Saya seorang pendidik. Betapa saya kasih Malaysia, saya tidak berkira untuk mencurah ilmu pada anak-anak didik saya tanpa mengira bangsa, agama atau negeri. Siapa lagi yang akan sayangkan Malaysia kalau bukan rakyatnya sendiri. Akan saya semai benih-benih kasih sayang dan persaudaraan di kalangan anak-anak didik saya supaya cinta pada negaranya dan rakyatnya. Ingin saya bertanya pada semua, wajarkah kita salahkan satu kerajaan andaikata ada pemimpin yang korupsi atau salahguna kuasa? Wajarkah kita salahkan akta andaikata ada penguatkuasa yang menyalahgunakan akta dengan kedudukan dan kuasanya?
Tidak bolehkah kita utamakan sikap persaudaraan antara kita dan hilangkan prejudis dengan korbankan kepentingan diri sendiri? Boleh tapi bukan mudah. Tapi saya yakin keamanan dan keharmonian yang kita nikmati hari ini adalah keuntungan yang terhasil dengan pengorbanan yang telah kita bayar sebelumnya.
Ingin saya ucapkan terima kasih kepada cikgu-cikgu yang telah mendidik dari mengenal abjad nombor hingga menulis di sini. Dan setinggi-tinggi terima kasih kepada kerajaan dan pemimpin yang amanah yang berjuang sehingga memungkinkan saya terpelajar dan terdidik dan menyambung perjuangan mendidik. Apabila kita tidak merasa susah mendapatkan sesuatu, kita mungkin tidak mengenal erti sebuah perjuangan.
hi doc. i would like to chip in regarding comments on laws by some of the guys here. it seems that so simple that they compared GOD’s laws and the people’s laws. yes, it’s the ultimate if we can do it here in malaysia. but…we have to face reality. looking back at our history, we didn’t get our independence alone. there were consensus and compromise and we should make the best of it. it is easier said than done but we have to try. it is normal for us to find a scapegoat, if something is not working, to our own benefit, then demonize it. that is not the solution! if syariah can be accepted by all, then find a way to do it rather than manipulate it as what being done now….by our politicians, whether pas, pkr or umno.
it is not the case of ‘berani’ or not to do what being done by our southern neighbor. i spent a stint in singapore when i was with a japanese firm. everything is being monitored over there, even if you want to shit, don’t take this literally! it is just you have to take whatever being force to you. it is the law! so they relief themselves whenever they cross over to jb. i believe they are even uglier than us malaysian!
ISA is just a tool of the system. it is the people who corrupted the system. don’t dump it!
Keamanan rakyat Malaysia adalah yang paling utama. Didalam pilihanraya umum lepas, rakyat telah menjalankan kewajipan mereka dengan memilih siapa yang akan mewakili mereka.
Biarkan lah rakyat Malaysia memilih sendiri. Janganlah ada pemimpin politik bermain api mengganggu kedamaian yang kita kecapi.
Kita adalah sebuah negara demokrasi. Biarkan rakyat yang menentukan. Bukannya mereka yang melompat ke sana sini. Bukan nya mereka yang menabur seribu janji.
Nice! We very enjoyed your site .
Negara Maju Rakyat DiberkatiNya. Insya.
semua tu perlukan:-
A/Pemimpin yang:-
