New Straits Times - 'Most freed criminals re-arrested'
New Straits Times - 'Most freed criminals re-arrested'
What is 'Emergency Ordinance 1969? :) If you have come accross Aliran's article, this act, Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance, 1969; is one of the 14 mentioned that cause severe inroads, and, for practical purposes, abrogate constitutionally protected fundamental rights. The most pernicious and imfamous legislation is the Internal Security Act ("ISA") which gives sweeping powers to the Executive, (the police and the Minister of Home Affairs). The act is often abused by the Executive!
Another thing, why was the case being handled shoddily in the first place, letting them get away with technicalities and all!
Further to that, the act of re-arressting those individuals, however, guilty or not, is tantamous to contempt of court!
I guess these are further prove of the incompetencies of PDRM, Perampas Duit Rakyat Malaysia!
Reform the police institution! The ruling government has to do something!
Or would they rather wait for the rakyat to do something instead?
