HULU SELANGOR, June 26 (Bernama) -- The Home Affairs Mnistry has not ruled
out the possibility of using the Internal Security Act (ISA) on the organisers
illegal assemblies planned for July 9.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein said the need to use the
ISA would only arise if there was a threat to public interest and national
security.
"ISA action can be taken on matters that clearly affect the security of the
nation like the actions of terrorits groups such as Jemaah Islamiah (JI),
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as well as human trafficking syndicates.
However, when used in the context of politics, it will for sure be exploited by
certain parties," he said here today.
He was speaking to reporters after officiating Hulu Selangor Umno''s
Division Delegates Meeting.
Hishamuddin said police were now monitoring the situation and developments
relating to the illegal assemblies, including reactions from various groups
whether they were pro or against them.

He also denied that the police were being biased in handling the issue.
"I deny the focus is on the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih).
We are focusing on all groups whether they are Perkasa, Umno Youth or other
groups.
"What is important is that the police do not discriminate and act according
to the laws and objective of preserving the security of the nation," he said.
On the capability of the police in handling the assemblies on that day, he
said police and the security forces were ready to face any eventuality.
On the 31 persons including the Member of Parliament for Sungai Siput Dr
Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj and Malaysian Socialist Party activists detained at
the Sungai Dua Toll Plaza in Penang yesterday, Hishamuddin said initial
investigations found that they were detained for having specific agenda.
"Police are now identifying the law and section suitable against them," he
said.
