The journalist , Ms. Tan who was arrested yesterday under ISA was released today . She was arrested for reporting on Ahmad Ismail's racist remarks . The interesting part is the statement given by Dato Syed Hamid Albar(pictured) on the reason she was released .
He said that 'Tan was detained under Section 73(1) of the Act in order "to ensure her safety" as police intelligence indicated that there were threats to her life after she reported on Bukit Bendera division Umno chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s allegedly racist remarks' .
Wtf?!...Are we idiots ?!...Who would fall for this bullshit?!...If she was given death threats , why didn't they go after the person who gave the threats in the first place ?...Why arrest under ISA ?...Why didn't they just give her police protection ?
Well in my opinion , I feel that the Agong silently stepped into this matter and told the government to stop it as they have gone too far . Only the Agong can reverse government decisions if the government themselves refuse to do so .
Or else why would they simply release her ?...I doubt public noise would have stopped them as they knew it would happen...or else they wouldn't have done it in the first place...hmm...just my opinion and me exercising my oppressed freedom of speech and expression .
