When I was driving to Parliament yesterday and stopped at the traffic light along Jalan Tun Perak, suddenly something struck me as I saw the public crossing the road.
I asked myself, if the public who are voters in Kota Alam Shah could accept M.Manoharan as their elected representative, wasn’t that a clear message that the 5 Hindraf leaders who are currently held under ISA should not be further detained but be released immediately.
If 12,699 persons who are of 21 years and above made a stand that they want M.Manoharan to be their elected representative, isn’t that good enough to show that they believe and trust him? They want him to speak up for them in the State Assembly. As such, how can an individual decision to further detained the 5 Hindraf leaders to stand?
Also, how can the reason, that the 5 Hindraf leaders are threat to national security stand, when Kota Alam Shah voters decide otherwise? They do not fear him. Majority of Kota Alam Shah wants M.Manoharan to work for them.
As such, it is not right for the Prime Minister or his Cabinet Minister to further allow the detention of the 5 Hindraf leaders.
Abolish Internal Security Act and released all detained under the said draconian law without further delay.
