MY to propose New Detention Without Trial again ...... :o

 

Too much crimes and shooting cases recently ..... [sly]

 

 

 

Yahoo news: Malaysian government proposes new detention without trial powers

 

 

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia's government proposed an amendment to crime laws on Wednesday that would give authorities the power to hold suspects for years without trial, in what critics said was a lurch back to draconian security policies that were only recently eased.

 

The government is justifying the proposed toughening of security laws as necessary to curb a rise in violent crime in recent months, including the murder of a prominent former banker in the capital, Kuala Lumpur, that has alarmed the public.

 

But the move to amend the 1959 Prevention of Crime Act has political resonance in a country where tough security laws have been used in the past to detain opposition figures and government critics and following an election in May that deepened ethnic and political divisions.

 

Prime Minister Najib Razak has moved to appease conservative factions in the ruling United Malays National Organization (UMNO) in recent weeks, signalling that the weak election victory has blunted his ability to push liberal reforms.

 

Teo Nie Ching, an opposition member of parliament, said the new proposal appeared to be a "fundamental breach of human rights".

 

"It seems we are going back to the time of the ISA (Internal Security Act) even though it is called prevention of crime," she told Reuters.

 

The ISA, which allowed for indefinite detention, was among several tough security laws repealed by Najib in 2011.

 

Under the amendment, a Prevention of Crime Board made up of three members and headed by a judge will be able to issue a detention order for two years, which could be renewed for two years indefinitely, according to a copy of the bill seen by Reuters.

 

The detention could be ordered if the board is satisfied that it is "in the interest of public order, public security or prevention of crime", the draft bill says.

Sgp also have what. You remember the political dissident of the 1950s? They are held w/o trial until old, sick and frail dan they let them out.

 

Other dan political dissidents, terrorist is another they can hold w/o trial indefinitely.

 

Sgp & MY laws are very similar.

It's a valid concern 'cos it's open to abuse too.

 

How about police detaining you under such act? Actually, under such act, they can detain anyone on their wimps and fancy (especially when there's an axe to grind and anything can be "engineered" from there to justify their acts).

wow.... absolute power to the police and their masters... they don;t like you, they spin a story/crime that relates to you and detain you..... no trials or whatsoever...... this type of power is a good deter to criminals but also a abuse to anyone against the ruling party...... i reckon we will see more cases of the latter instead of the former.

yeah.... so be careful of what you wished for also.

 

It's good there are opposing views aired to counter them too. Absolute power is dangerous.
