Our new Deputy PM, Tan Sri Muhyiddin, gave this statement on 5.5.2009. This was when the Kota Alam Shah state assemblyman, M. Manoharan, was still under ISA. Manoharan was released from ISA detention on the 8th of May 2009...just a day after the chaos & barbaric behaviour displayed by BN in the Perak state assembly. Was Manoharan's release an eyewash from BN ? Hmm...100% YES!! Many are now aware with the countless "coincidences" played by BN.
This statement was made because Manoharan was considering to step down from his seat.
Anyway, while Manoharan was under ISA, Muhyiddin said...
'After winning an election, it's time for him to get to work. He should be responsible enough and not step down unnecessarily as is being done by those from some political parties.The exceptions are when he is declared a bankrupt, convicted or dies'.
Firstly, let me remind you that Manoharan won his seat in the General Election 2008 while he was under ISA. That itself is a great feat & shows that many people are fed up with BN.
As for the statement, how is Manoharan suppose to get to work while under ISA detention ? He's not allowed to leave the detention centre. Every habeas corpus application filed by him to the court to be released was rejected.
Documents nor reports were being sent to him at the detention centre to be reviewed or studied whatsoever. He wasn't being sent to Parliament in the morning & returned to detention to continue his sentence. Neither was he allowed to meet his constituents as he can't leave the detention centre.
So how did Muhyiddin expect him to carry out his duties ??
Now that Manoharan has been released, looking very frail, I hope he gets back into shape & helps his constituents...which I'm sure he will.
