Law minister threatens to quit over ISA - posted by Malaysiakini

Only the minister know what his inner-self whispers to his mind. He may argued his assertion but on this issue I am skeptical on his stand based on various points:-

1. Just after his appointment as Law Minister he first action was to restore the dignity of the former Lord President Tun Salleh Abas and the 5 judges and influence AAB to part some amount of ex-gratia to them. He was applauded by Bar Council on his efforts to restore the dignity and credibility of the judiciary. But after the much publicised event nothing further to the improvement
of the judiciary was heard.

2. When the then Opposition leader Datuk Seri wan Azizah launched a campaign on anti-ISA at Parliament I did not see this impartial Law Minister come forward to support it or at least to pin the badge distributed. Why now he is voicing a different tone.

a. Any hidden agenda?

b. Is he loosing his grips in UMNO as reported he cannot even easily secure a sound nomination to contest as branch chairman in his own former branch in Kota Bharu?

c. Was he been told to lay off, when he asked Tan Sri Muhyidin to resign or face sacking by AAB?

I am sorry to highlight this, since he was only an appointed Senator, and was been given a chance to be appointed as a Law Minister just because of his law background, he should reliquish his ministerial post and make his stand, that would be more dignified rather trying to gain his heroism by stepping on someone else's toes in the same cabinet he is in. Just like the malay proverb says : "Ludah ke langit jatuh kemuka sendiri."

Comtemplate on this and stop confusing everybody.

The year was 2004. Malaysian were thinking that finally we had a "Justice Bao" in our new PM who would transform the racist politicians in the ruling government into a new democratic platform for the goodness of the citizens and the country. The PM got a hugh mandate from the electorate and the citizens were longing to see a brighter future for the nation with good governance, high intergity and a new level of fairness to all. But that dream has collapsed and the reality remained that the country's politic has become more racist and corruption more rampant. The last nail in the coffin for the PM is when ISA detentions have been allowed in the country based on irrational and illogical assumptions, as well as lies by others! Please don't go into self denial and proclaim that the majority is agreeable to the action. Who is this majority? The party members? As a PM who has presented such high esteem as a muslim intelect, it is quite surprising that he would deemed the recent ISA detentions have been fair and accurate! The citizens in this country are not in distress, the politicians are! The citizens in this country are not in confrontation, the politicians are!

There is Harmon in the house of Pharaon.
Act of desperation cowardice and sheer ignoramus. Papa & Baby Doc Duvalie`, French and US tyrants reign poverty and fear on the Rakyat of Haiti for 4 1/2 decades.
That's until they flee seeking asylum with their ill-gotten wealth leaving the country in squalor divided and perpetually broken.
I fear the semblance and we ain't short of the mindset.
Free RP!Free All! ISA detainees, you illiterate gluttonous coward.
Stick to your principle Zaid.
