By Tricia Yeoh
AMID the barrage of political news surrounding the average Malaysian, it is easy to miss the forest for the trees. We are thrown with news feeds by the hour, and e-mails and SMSes flow in regularly throughout the day, resulting in a big bagful of information to be made sense of, stuffed with every imaginable conspiracy theory. Under such circumstances, citizens must be watchful in distinguishing fact from fallacy.
Such vigilance is of great urgency, so as to avoid being manipulated into falling into the same old trap of racial and religious politics.
Teresa Kok’s arrest is a perfect case in point where facts are being mysteriously twisted. The plot here seems to be: construct a scene, plant this scene as real and true in the minds of all Muslims, and use this as a reason to instigate fear and insecurity, thereby justifying the use of the Internal Security Act (ISA).
The ISA allows for indefinite detention without trial on persons who are deemed a threat to national security. This is the first time that a serving Member of Parliament(MP) who is also concurrently a state councillor has been subjected to this law.Continue reading ‘True or false’

Press statement by Ipoh Barat MP M. KulasegaranSept 16, 2008
We are totally against the use of the ISA by the UMNO led Barisan Nasional government to arrest critics, curb press freedom and violate the fundamental rights of citizens.
The BN is again using the brute force of the ISA to assault those brave and courageous Malaysians who speak out in the name of truth and integrity about the abuses of power, corruption and racism perpetuated by the ruling clique.
We reiterate our total opposition to the use of the ISA - the unjustified and illegal detention use of force – against prominent Raja Petra Kamaruddin, the owner of the Malaysia Today website, Seputeh MP and Senior Selangor State Executive Committee Member YB Teresa Kok and Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng.Continue reading ‘Time to repeal ISA law once and for all…’

ABIM condemns the USE of Internal Security Act

15 SEPTEMBER 2008 / 15 RAMADHAN 1429ABIM condemns the USE of Internal Security Act
The Muslim Youth Movement of Malaysia (ABIM) strongly affirms that Malaysia is a country of laws not of men. We are a country which respects the rule of law and its equal application to all citizens under our Constitution and our guiding Islamic principles.
At no time should a person be detained without undergoing due process of law, in which the right to fair hearing is of utmost importance, and criminal prosecution initiated for unreasonable purposes. Such an action, regardless of the initiating party, goes against the principles of natural justice and the Syari’ah which mandates impartiality, justice and fairness.
We strongly condemn the detentions of blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin and Seputeh MP Teresa Kok under the draconian law of the Internal Security Act (ISA). ISA is a draconian instrument that goes against all tenets of fairness, justice and demoting the rule of law. It promotes cruelty and injustice by denying its detainees the right to be heard and a fair trial. In addition, the ISA is also prone to political abuse and there have been instances where the detainees have been mistreated.Continue reading ‘ABIM condemns the USE of Internal Security Act’

Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats
The Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats, denounces the arrests of opposition lawmaker, Ms. Teresa Kok, and two journalists, Mr. Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin and Ms. Tan Chee Hoon, under the recently invoked Malaysian Internal Security Act (ISA), a law that provides for the detention of people suspected of threatening the national security with the directive to keep suspects in custody indefinitely without trial.
CALD steadfastly upholds the principle respecting freedoms of dissent, assembly and expression. These rights are elemental in the strengthening of democratic processes and the rule of law.
CALD calls upon the Malaysian government to immediately and unconditionally release Ms. Teresa Kok, Mr. Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin and Ms. Tan Chee Hoo so as to sustain Malaysia’s trajectories towards fuller democracy.
