ISA Detainee
The picture is not the over of the book. It is part of Malaysians' campaign to
Abolish ISA
Below is a poem written by Mr Tan Jing Quee was was detained in 1963 by Mr Lee Kuan Yew under Operation Coldstore.
by Tan Jing Quee
What was it like 'inside'?
A difficult question
Could you, would you really listen
Without sneer, to the endeavours
How should I begin?
Should I start from the traumas of the raid
How liberty was so capriciously enchained
Without a warrant, without warning
On the dark hours
When even dogs slept undisturbed.
You were hauled into a world ran amok:
The mug shots, 'turn out your pockets'
the thumb and fingers impressions
(whatever for, I commit no crime!)
No one bothered,
The guard shoved you on,
Along the corridor of despair;
That first heavy thud of the iron door
Sealing you incommunicado from the world --
The wind, sun, moon, and the stars
And all that was human and dear.
Should I recall the dark cell
At Central Police Station
A purgatory of perpetual night
The stone slab for the bed
Sullied, soiled matteress, no sheets
Blood smeared walls, cries of past agonies
The rude, cruel hourly rip-rap of the shuttlers
"To check your health",
So it was explained.
Should I narrate
The daily bath at the tap
The Squat pan, dank and putrid
Meant to dehumanize, humiliate.
Should we be thankful
For the daily ditch water
which passed for tea
The stony crumbs for bread
The rice so callously tossed with dust?
Should we be grateful
For the censored books and news,
To decontaminate our minds;
Should we be grateful too
For the unbearable heat
The lonely insomnia of the day and night,
Migraine and diarrhoeic fever
And panadol as panacea?
How could I ever forget those Neabderthals
Who roamed Whitely Holding Centre,
Under cover of darkness,
Poured buckets of lice water
Over my stripped, shivering nakedness,
Slugged my struggling, painful agony
Circling, sneering, snarling
Over my freezing nudity,
More animals than men;
What induced this
Vengeful venom, violent score
To settle, not for a private grievance
But a public, democratic dissidence;
From whence sprang this barbarity?
What made men turn into beasts
In the dark, away from prying eyes,
Protected by a code of dishonour and lies
To ensure they survive and rise.
For sure, there were gentler souls
Who tried to be decent, no more:
The smiling guard who lightened the hours
With a chance remark, a joke
The barber who brought his scissors, cigarrets and news
The interrogator who handed a bible
Told him the elegant prose
Contrasted strangely with my current state,
How distant those beautiful thoughts were
From the violence to our liberty.
What then is the truth?
A generation trapped in lies
Who rushed to defend, to justify
Never to listen, see, or speak out.
Only when we open our hearts
Confront this barbarism
Can we truly exocise our fears,
Finally emerge as a free people,
A liberated society._._,__
Singapore Democrats
A group of Singaporeans who were detained under the Internal Security Act got together to write a book of poems that hammered at the draconian law.

Things You Might Want to Know About Malaysian Politics
Dear comradesI have been going around the world lately and meeting a lot of people who wants to know about Malaysian politics. Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) has something for you and possibly this might help.
Just click to this link:
http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/
And also, there is a new book on Malaysian Politicians by my fellow friends, Amir Muhammad and Fahmi Reza.
Malaysian Politicians Say the Darndest Things (Vol 2)
Synopsis
Malaysia has already far too many tigers. They should be shot because there is no use keeping them alive." "If you come across a snake and a man from a certain ethnic community, you should hit the man first." Hot on the heels of the best-selling Vol 1 of Malaysian Politicians Say the Darndest Things, this compilation is further proof that we don’t need to travel far to experience shock and awe. Join us for another dance through some of the toe-tapping delights of the past two decades. Some of the quotes are witty and pithy, others are weird and prickly, and still others are just out-of-tune. If all History lessons were this painless, none of us would have ever skipped classes.

Penggunaan atau ugutan untuk tindakan Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) terus dilakukan untuk menyekat kritikan terhadap pihak kerajaan, dengan ugutan lebih khusus terhadap 'bloggers'. Susulan daripada demonstrasi besar-besaran pada bulan November tersebut, Perdana Menteri mengingatkan ISA akan digunakan untuk mengelakkan perhimpunan secara 'haram'. ISA membenarkan seseorang itu ditahan tanpa perbicaraan sehingga dua tahun, dan boleh diperbaharui bila-bila masa.
- Sekurang-kurangnya 83 orang telah ditahan di bawah ISA. Kebanyakan mereka dituduh ahli kumpulan Islam, termasuk Jemaah Islamiah. Sekurang-kurangnya empat orang yang disyaki ahli Jemaah Islamiah telah ditahan pada tahun 2007, dan sekurang-kurangnya 16 telah dibebaskan pada tahun tersebut, setelah ditahan melebihi empat tahun. Ramai di antara mereka diberikan perintah kediaman terhad.
- Individu lain yang ditahan di bawah ISA termasuk lima ketua kumpulan Hindu Rights Action Force, sebuah kumpulan yang berkempen untuk golongan hak golongan etnik Malaysia berketurunan India, yang telah dihantar terus ke Kem Tahanan Kamunting. Lima yang lain, ditahan atas dakwaan menyebarkan fitnah berkenaan kekacauan kaum, telah dibebaskan.
- Pada bulan Oktober 2007, Abdul Malek Hussain, bekas tahanan ISA, telah dikurniaakan gantirugi berjumlah RM2.5juta (bersamaan USD746,000). Hakim berpendapat penahanan beliau pada 1998 menyalahi undang-undang dan beliau telah dikasari dan dizalimi ketika berada dalam tahanan.
Di bawah akta-akta tersebut, suspek boleh ditahan sehingga 60 hari untuk siasatan di mana suatu perintah tahanan selama dua tahun dan boleh diperbaharui setiap kali untuk jangkamasa, boleh dikenakan.
Antara Januari dan Ogos, 550 orang telah ditahan di bawah DDA. Kedua-dua EO dan DDA meletakkan suspek-suspek di bawah risiko penahanan sewenang-wenangnya dan penyeksaan atau penganiayaan lain.
