Bar: Public needs to know why LTTE 12 were charged in first place?

The provisions of the Security Offences Act 2012 appear to have been abused in charging 12 individuals for having links to the now-defunct Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ,

"The Malaysian public needs to know. It is disheartening that citizens could be arrested, charged and incarcerated without bail for a prolonged period on charges with no prospect of conviction," he added in a statement this evening. "The Malaysian Bar calls upon the Government to demonstrate full commitment to its election manifesto by abolishing such oppressive laws without further delay," he added.Meanwhile, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II P Ramasamy said the AG's dismissal raised a host of questions about the"so-called evidence" gathered by the police to charge the 12."There is concrete evidence that the LTTE is defunct.

Ayob, who was appointed as the Johor police chief on Feb 6, claimed that two of the suspects were planning to launch a “lone wolf” attack in Malaysia.

You should ask or tell the home Minister! Don't waste netizens's time Frivolously!

we as majority of citizen malaysia.. will make sure on pru15.. to drag down ph..and will demands on nw government to open back this case.. their will never before thats huge the majority citizen was unite soon.. haramjadahph

When Siti Nor Aishah was found guilty by the court for having ISIS books, and these men were let go for having pictures (and books?) of LTTE leader.

Your guess is as good as mine

Yes , the public should know how the police perform their duties!

He should ask MuhyiddinYassin that question.

Cant you all see? It doesn't matter. Charge or released. All the details don't matter. We're now divided even further. Job's done.

Agree. Get that “happy ending” fella to explain. Fella so incompetent and talked too much crap. Especially when it comes to Panda boy in china.

When trials can be postponed for weddings and continues because someone is stressed, what else does it takes to surprise you? Malaysia, truely surprising!

Because everyone knows why

Yes indeed. Not enough for AG to drop the charges.

Yea...Pdrm was very confident on charges
