Abuses Shadow fear.
Malaysian parliament decision to publish two controversial laws in a week continues to provoke protests. But the government of Prime Minister Najib Razak insists maintain alias Pota Terrorism Prevention Act and amendments to the Law Incitement that the opposition claimed as new versions of the Internal Security Act, aka the ISA.Online TODAY mention, Pota is now required weapons Najib government, because the threat of terrorism in the neighbor country is increasing, especially since the militant Islamic State Islamic aka State (IS), formerly known as ISIS or ISIL start overwhelmed military action allies United States Of America.
The number of Malaysians who expressed his support for the IS increased. In fact, they also become a threat to Kuala Lumpur.
"There are at least 200 Malaysians who fought in Iraq and Syria on behalf of the IS.
In fact most of them were killed as suicide bombers or fighters IS, "said Bilveer Singh, a guest lecturer at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the National University of Singapore.
In addition to approximately 200 persons were detected join the IS, there are many more residents of Malaysia who lured ideology of Al Qaeda militant splinter Iraqis.
"Recruitment activity continues," said Singh. Not only through propaganda or aliases directly face to face meetings, IS also recruiting through social networks on the internet.
Incessant recruitment of new members by IS in Malaysia make Najib government felt the need to revive the legislation "blunt" ISA. Because the ISA that was repealed in 2012, was re-issued in the form of Pota. Police returned the right to detain suspects without charge up to a maximum of two years, was also the period of detention can be extended for two more years.
"Many people who call Pota as ISA 2nd round, but this allegation is not true, because this law is specifically designed to counter terrorism," said Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to Free Malaysia Today (FMT).
Nevertheless, the public still comparing Pota and ISA, especially about the detention without charge.
ISA is the first to apply in 1948 the legislacy of colonial legislation. When the British deliberately formulate strict legislation to narrow motion Malayan Communist Party (MCP). In addition to threatening the existence of colonial rule, MCP threaten the interests of the UK economy in Malaysia, especially tin mining and rubber plantations.
ISA colonial version of it ended in 1989, and the next Kuala Lumpur using the laws to silence opposition voices. For no apparent reason, the police typically detain opposition figures were too vocal. Without charge them then languishing in detention for long periods of time. Discriminatory practice lasted until the ISA repealed in 2012.
Now under the control of Najib and UMNO-new coalition, the government re-enact such legislation. But the name was changed to Pota.
"In order to maintain its political supremacy, the government issued Pota that to be the only way the government to silence the opposition off-key singing," said a political analyst Malaysia.
The shadows of government tyranny was re-emerged in the public mind that grew up in the atmosphere ISA. One was the arrest and detention of Michael Jeyakumar from the Socialist Party of Malaysia in June 2011. Together with several other activists oposiai, Jeyakumar forced in jail, even worse they were placed in isolation cells.
Jeyakumar detained because the government considered dangerous. Police allege the man tried to overthrow Pertuan Agong thing. Allegations totally baseless. The most powerful evidence of police in this case was only Che Guevara T-shirt. However, based on the ISA, the police the right to hold Jeyakumar, that's what happened and now it is a silly sort of repetition.
In addition to detention without charge, the Malaysian public must face sedition legislation on revised. The regulation now contains a much more severe punishment, but the daily Utusan Malaysia stated, the amendment of legislation that actually bring many benefits to the people, for the life of the state will be more orderly.
Awang Selamat, Malay-language newspaper, said that the main purpose of the amendment is to create harmony in society and maintain the security of the nation.
"This is a warning to groups or individuals that do not carelessly talk about religion or discuss things that racist," said the media.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi promise not to misuse the legislation. He can guarantee that the government will not arbitrarily apply the law.
"The police can only move after getting strong evidence. But if we do not intend to incite or provoke the public, why should not worry," he said.
