Najib: ISA abolished because it didn't help politically
 |
The ISA was abolished because it didn't help the BN-led government politically, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
"If you put someone in under ISA it doesn't kill them politically, instead it enhances their political career," he told civil servants in Putrajaya today.
Without naming names, Najib gave the example of some ex-ISA detainees whose political profile he said skyrocketed after being detained."If you put someone in under ISA it doesn't kill them politically, instead it enhances their political career," he told civil servants in Putrajaya today.
He said this while delivering the keynote speech at a dialogue with civil servants organised by the Razak School of Government.

A pretty serious gaffe here. All the years of the ISA being in place to 'protect the people' from terrorists who would destroy our delicate social order. What a load of bull.
