Anan Duran, by the manner of your statements you obviously have never been part of the ISA program. You should go thru it first before sending out your views.

Indians in many Afrikan nations prospered. Indians are prospering in USA, Europe, Australia, Canada … u left them out and concentrated on the areas they were mistreated. Have you been to these countries and talked to these people? U arent well traveled.

ISA allows a person to be detained WITHOUT TRIAL. There are other laws that allow a person to be detained WITH TRIAL. You obviously are not a lawyer. U dont know the law.

Mahatma Ghandi was just an old man, who lead an entire nation. Dont tell me we Indians dont have the strength in us. You are obviously a pessimist.

Cooperation and collaboration? What have we been doing the past 50 years? Fighting as guerrilas against the UMNO led BN govt? NO. We HAVE been cooperating and we HAVE been colaborating. It has got us NOWHERE! and created ppl like you.

To improve the Indian’s lot, we need regime change.

Dear anan duran,

Please do not use the term “we need ISA”. You are right blaming UMNO wont resolved the problems but purging them out.Yes the problems will be solved.
What can you improve the condition of Indians by detained the 5 Hindraf ? Chinese prosperous not because they are in blessed or cursed country. Don’t linked the Chinese when you talk about ISA.It seems like Chinese will lost all their monies if they don’t follows your advise. Chinese have brain, sorry to inform you.
Are you threatening the minority? Please bear in mind majority doesn’t like ISA. Plaese don’t talk about win win situation when there is still “you lose I win” game plan.

Are you really compassionate with the Indian community. why don’t you try this ISA food. Asked Theresa Kok. May be you are too prosperous with all the tasty food. Just Try it! I think you will like, weird species!

Abolishing ISA will not solve anybody’s problem. There are many more than the 5 Hindraf guys in ISA. Even India has tightened the POTA act. Why, there will always be guys with vested interests to undermine the country’s peace. So we need ISA. It easy for people to talk about the detainee’s children and wife situation, after being in ISA. In this blessed country, the Chinese are prospering.There are Indian workers from India who are paying 6-8k to agents come to work here to earn money. Blaming Umno/BN does not solve our Indians problem. What can we learn from the Chinese, Sikhs, Indian Muslims, Gujaratis who are not getting any gomen help nor crying about the situation.

You think PKR PAS are interested to help Indians? They just helped themselves in the last elections riding on the Hindraf created wave.

Creating a antagonastic attitude towards a majority community only invites a similar response. We simply don’t have the stength in economic power to dictate terms. Learn from Fiji, Uganda, Burma’s Indians experience. Don’t repeat it.
Think how with cooperation and collaboration, we can build a win win situation for everyone. What plans have Hindraf, Makkal Sakthi, DAP, MIC etc to improve the economic well being of the Indians? With the recession looming, the hardest hit will be Indians. It’s easy to arouse passion to hate, protest etc and create lasting divides. Ask what you can do to improve the Indians lot without blaming others for the situation Indians are in.

Firstly I believe that ISA is obsolete in its relevance in today’s world. The only reason the government would hold on to it is because they are incompetent to catch and convict a suspect. Hence, they rather impose ISA on a suspect than to gather the proper intelligence for a conviction of a crime.

If you have a look at the list of detainees and the charges against them, it is all ALLEGED.

Why not be open and make public the actual reason why they are detained in the first place? Are they saying that they have no proof on the alleged crimes of the detainees?

Hang Jebat, think carefully.

Do you know the meaning of “rule of law”? It means the rule of JUST AND FAIR laws. It also means that an accused person must be TOLD EXACTLY what he/she is accused of and the evidence produced in a COURT free of manipulation by the government.

Is this in line with or is this against the teachings of Islam? You can only answer honestly to yourself. May Allah guide you to the truth.

This is why we need ISA.
to stop all this nonsense.

The biggest thread of the nation is the people who always make road demonstration, yelling at public, and gathered as many as possible in public road.

Hi Anil,

Thanks for this article ! We really need ” fresh ” news other than the standard news from ” MSMs’” dish out to us in line with their master’s wishes.

If we don’t read the daily news from the MSMs’, we are uninformed and if we do read them, we are illinformed !!!

So, better not read them and save some ” cents ” to have more sense then to be mislead and misguided.

The nation is bleeding away its resources, time,energy and effort in attempting to get the powers that be to do away with ISA.

Meanwhile the power brokers will fight tooth and nail to keep it. Afterall, the lessons learnt from the corridors of undemocratic power and control reinforce this believe in the minds and hearts of our local politicians.

Perhaps only a people’s (mobilisation) of sorts can bring down the ISA practice like a highland towers episode — minus innocent victims of course.
