And just to make something clear, the ISA was not put into place after May 13. It was there since the British times, to control the communists. It was only made a bigger issue by the May13 incident.<BR/><BR/>it's true that we would need something to curb racial riots and the like, especially in Malaysia because of the multi-racial make up.But ISA is not the way to go about things. As it is, anyone and everyone can be put into lock-up if they're suspected of something, and it doesn't matter if they have proof or not. And this is thanks to ISA.<BR/><BR/>Maybe you're right in saying that we don't need to repeal it, but make it better. I think that it might be the way to go too.<BR/><BR/>The things that are wrong with ISA is only that it deprives its detainees of basic human rights. There are people in detention under the ISA for many years now, and they have yet to see trial because there has been no proof. For ISA detainees, they have to "prove their innocence", instead of being "innocent till proven guilty", they have it the other way round.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps this comment is getting slightly too long, but this is what I have to say about the ISA. At the very least, there has to be some major moderations to the ISA as it stands now.Michelle Yoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999946501081450166noreply@blogger.com
