ISAed or Protection?

Which is true? We were told by our Menteri Hal Ehwal Dalam Negeri that Tan Hoon Cheng was "arrested" to ensure her safety. Read here: "Speaking on the one-day arrest of Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Hoon Cheng, who was arrested under the ISA, in order to ensure her safety he said Tan was detained under Section 73(1) of the Act

He added that police intelligence indicated that there were threats to her life after she reported on Bukit Bendera division Umno chairman Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s allegedly racist remarks".- The Star.

If the purpose of arrest is to ensure her safety then why this?

  • I was brought to Seberang Perai Tengah IPD (district head office), and I was placed in a chilling cold room while waiting for the police to begin their paperwork. I was accompanied by a female officer who seemed to be trembling as a result of the low room temperature as well.
  • The police recorded all my personal belongings, these were later taken away from me. After that, I am considered ready to be sent to the Police Contingent Headquarters in Penang.
  • After taking my thumbprints, I was given my dinner and arranged to spend my night in remand.
  • After clearing my mind and organising my thoughts, I tried to sleep while lying on the wooden bed with the company of the mosquitoes and the noise of water dripping.
  • the police informed me that they would bring me to the Police Headquarter in Bukit Aman in Kuala Lumpur. My heart sank, I told myself this is the beginning of it, I must brace myself for everything.
  • After few turns of event, I was eventually brought to the Perak Police Headquarter in Ipoh. After a brief interrogation session, I was brought back to Penang Police Headquarter again.
  • It was here, where I was interrogated further.
Is it right to treat someone who is to be given protection, that kind of treatment?
