Nazri: Tahanan tanpa bicara akan diteruskan

Amalan penahanan tanpa perbicaraan akan diteruskan walaupun dengan pemansuhan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) 1960 dan undang-undang pencegahan yang lain, kata Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz.

Menurut beliau dua undang-undang baru yang bakal diperkenalkan bagi menggantikan ISA akan juga membenarkan penahanan tanpa bicara kerana ia adalah elemen penting dalam usaha memerangi keganasan.

Katanya, Peguam Negara akan berunding dengan ahli parlimen, hakim dan pihak-pihak yang berkepentingan lain di dalam dan juga luar negara kerana menangani keganasan adalah usaha antarabangsa.

Expect ISA repackaged, not abolished

‘I believe it is going to be a case of ‘out of the frying pan into the fire’. At best, the replacement laws will be ‘from the fire, back into the frying pan’.

‘Anwar fears more repressive laws to replace ISA’

Tkc: I’ve got a bad feeling. If BN were to regain its two-thirds majority due to the fence-sitters gullible enough to think that things will be hunky dory after the repeal of Internal Security Act (ISA), the replacement laws would be so repressive that BN will rule for the next 50 years.

‘New laws could be worse than ISA’

Is the repeal of the ISA 'window-dressing' for an
embattled BN ahead of the general election?

By Luke Rintod of FMT
KOTA KINABALU: Scepticisms abound in Sabah over the repeal of the much-condemned Internal Security Act (ISA).

Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced on Sept 16 that the government would abolish the draconian law.

While the announcement came as a shock, as many had expected some good news related to consumer goodies in view of the general election, it was nevertheless much welcomed.

The US have Area 51, we have Kod Negara 71

This is BN's secret weapon for GE.

JPN has a long list of nation code listed in their website. With such a darn detailed list, why JPN is using kod 71 to grant citizenship with people whose place of origin is unknown?

WIKILEAKS: 2006 UMNO GENERAL ASSEMBLY: ABDULLAH OVER MAHATHIR

In what one prominent newspaper editor privately called "the beginning of his own cult of personality," Abdullah orchestrated his entrance into the grand assembly hall as a prophet coming to address his people. As Abdullah entered the hall, the audience began singing a well-known Muslim hymn commemorating the Prophet Mohammed's entrance into Medina. Privately, local journalists and some Middle-eastern diplomats were astonished and somewhat offended that Abdullah would equate himself with the Prophet, though newspapers failed to report his entrance procession. 

1.  (C) Summary:  The United Malays National Organization's (UMNO) General Assembly marked Prime Minister's Abdullah consolidation of power within UMNO and the clear political defeat of his predecessor Mahathir Mohamad after months of public attacks by Mahathir.  Mahathir did not attend the assembly due to timely health reasons, but he remained the elephant in the room that everyone knew was there but no one wanted to mention. 

What if it was Najib in the sex video?

Some NGOs want to know why Pakatan Rakyat leaders are
remaining silent on Anwar being implicated in a sex
scandal and would they keep quiet if it was Najib Tun Razak.
