The reason given by the botak one that Hoon Cheng was taken into custody (arrested!) was to enable the police to get some statements from her as “she had made the first report” and also because her life was being threatened. Oh how stupid he is to think of such a lame excuse for the govt’s action! And he insults our intelligence… When statements are required, the person is REQUESTED (not arrested!) to go to the police station. In addition, when one’s life is being threatened, the victim is taken into police protection (not slapped with ISA!) and the police should go after the perpetrators.
He went on to say that “the arrests of RPK and Teresa Kok were not political but purely the decision of the police and there has not been malice on their part.” Anyone believe this MORON????

Heard just now from realiable sources that this is the same replay like 1998. The ISA arrest of Tan , RPK, Teresa is a prelude to something big. There is a pushtu against…
See all the fliplops with the ISA arrest.
There is more to come and even the police are confused .

Tan was picked up/arrested/detained because police received intelligence that her safety would be threatened. She is now released/returned home/freed because she had cooperated with the police.
Is the threat upon her life still exists after 24 hours ? Had the police been able to find the person making the threat ?
— the arrest and subsequent release stinks to seven heaven and it is nothing more than an abuse of the law. Tan should start legal proceeding for wrongful detention/arrest.

Apa pun pandangan pelbagai pihak, saya masih setuju ISA dikekalkan tetapi penggunaannya hendaklah apabila betul betul perlu terutama apabila terbukti wujudnya ancaman besar kepada keselamatan negara. Janganlah menggunakan ISA sewenang wenangnya seandainya sesuatu kes itu masih dapat diurus dengan cara lain.

Detention under ISA is a desperate move by UMNO to play racial cards again and again. It seems UMNO and BN never learned anything from the recent general election. It is very sad indeed to have leaders that are so short sighted and living in a box. Malaysian have seen all these Drama before played by UMNO and group. Funny thing is MCA, PGRM, PPP, PGRM still in the coalition. It is a matter of time before all these parties will jump ship. Hope for a better Malaysia.
