After releasing Teresa, rescind ISA..

While believing that the Government is right to release Teresa Kok today, DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw insists that the Government rescind the Internal Security Act (1960).

Release all who are detained under ISA. If they are violent, extremist and terroristic, use other laws to deal with them.

Today, MP for Seputih Teresa Kok has been released. This is correct. But, it is not enough. The Government must stop misusing ISA to detain people who do not engage in violence, extremism and terrorism.

We have repeatedly stressed that if the Government has evidence that any person involves in vilence, extremist and terrorist activities, the government should charge him or her in court. It should promulgate anti-extremist and anti-terrorist act that would protect the country.

For 42 years, DAP has been against the abuse of ISA against Malaysians. It continues to do so. We believe in peaceful constitutional struggle.

Dr Tan Seng Giaw
