We should be tough on terrorism and I do not compromise with terror, says PKR president Anwar Ibrahim.

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim said in light of Attorney-General Tommy Thomas' decision to drop proceedings against 12 people with alleged links to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam , a defunct separatist group in Sri Lanka, other similar cases should also be looked into.

Speaking more on the dropped prosecution against the 12 with alleged links to LTTE, Anwar said the AG had considered all factors and he would leave it to Thomas to decide. Aside from the gazette, Kanun also called for the AG to review the status of other detainees under the Security Offences Act regardless of their race or religion.

As such, he hopes that the public will not use this LTTE matter to incite more racial and religious issues in Malaysia.
