I was shocked to catch a glimpse of the Lenggeng immigration detention camp south of Kuala Lumpur here.

The ISA poll on the KDN website has shown some wildly fluctuating results. From 90 per cent of some 14,000 respondents who want the ISA abolished on 10 August, it has now plunged to just 49 per cent of over 17,000 respondents today! Amazing… (P.S. The poll on the KDN website was removed less than 24 hours after this posting.) So let’s try another poll here to see what we get. (The earlier poll on this blog showed that 91 per cent wanted the ISA repealed.)

Also, check out a poll on the ISA at the news portal of the Home Affairs Ministry, no less. As at 8.06pm, 91 per cent of over 9,000 respondents want the ISA abolished – an identical result (91 per cent) to what my own blog poll revealed in May.

Photos by Ong and others Here are a few more pics from the streets of KL as the Abolish ISA rally was drawing to a close. The last two were taken this morning. Notice the FRU trucks at Bukit Jalil and the two teenagers, 16 and 13, in handcuffs. Whatever your estimate of the turnout yesterday, this was easily the largest anti-ISA rally in Malaysian history. A couple of eye-witnesses told me it was bigger than the Bersih rally – which drew some 50,000 people – so that would put the turnout for yesterday’s rally at around 50,000 to 60,000 perhaps.
