The fact that the government has to resort to ISA to detain the five Hindraf leaders shows clearly that the government has ‘lost patience’ in Hindraf.
The Umno-led government, under Attorney-General Chamber, has initiated several charges against Hindraf leaders and supporters under various draconian acts, i.e. Police Act and Seditious Act, and they were brought to trial in open court.
However, the police failed to put them beyond bail and when Hindraf leaders and supporters can be bailed, that means they are still allowed to move freely which the government does not want to see.
In a way when the government decided to initiate civil or criminal charges against Hindraf supporters and leaders in open court, it can be used to prove to the world and Malaysians that the government has taken the ‘right path’ against dissents when they are brought to trial in open court.
However, all talks fall into pieces when out of no way, the government has to resort to the most draconian – the mother of all draconian acts in Malaysia – the Internal Security Act – to put five Hindraf leaders in jail.
In a way, I perceive it as a good sign – good in the sence that it exposes the real face of Pak Lah – that he had removed his velvet glove to show his iron fist, that the smiling faces that won the hearts and minds of many in the 2004 General Election had gone and that he is no different from his predecessor, in fact he is even worst.
Mahathir started off his premiership in 1982 by releasing ISA detainees from Kamunting, and he won a huge victory in a General Election held on that year. Coming up to GE 1986, he is still comfortable with his 2M formation. By 1987, following internal split in UMNO, Mahathir can no longer tolerate dissents. Then came the ISA in October 1987.
As for Abdullah, he doesn’t have to wait until the next general election as he can directly resort to ISA before he can finish his one term serving as PM. More so when the five Hindraf leaders detained are sent straight to Kamunting serving two-year jail term, without having to be put under police custody for 60 days! The first in Malaysia history and of course, an action even worst than Mahathir.
Do you still believe him anymore?
