Syed Hamid snubs call to relocate Kamunting camp

Posted by admin

(The Star) JOHOR BARU: Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar has scoffed at a suggestion that the Federal Government relocate the Kamunting detention centre in Perak to “Barisan Nasional states”.

“There are certain things that belong to the Federal Government and the state cannot simply take it away,” he told The Star.

Syed Hamid said the issue was not worth discussing.

“When the time comes, we’ll respond accordingly. If they have a plan, they must act according to the law.

“Everything you do is subject to the law. I don’t think they can just close property under federal jurisdiction,” he said.

State executive councillor A. Sivanesan recently said that he would look into legal avenues and land legislation, in particular the Land Acquisition Act, to see how Perak could reclaim the land aliented to the Federal Government for the camp.

“Pakatan Rakyat is against the Internal Security Act (ISA) and the camp is in Kamunting, Taiping. If they are not going to abolish the ISA, move the camp out and give us back the land,” he said.

Syed Hamid should also know that the Federal Government is only an instrument of the people,and it is the people's wish that it be relocated elsewhere.We know that when you run out of laws,there is always the ISA,and you will use it for their own safty.Right Syed.

Hello Dato SHeik
When are you going to threaten the people that throw molotov "cocktail" which s a dangerous and coward act or terrorist act. Yet, so fast in response to Kamunting relocation but never response on threat to rakyat.

God please let the lightning strike these cowards like the ancient time when they treat God and his rakyat badly. If that still happen we don't need PR to save us from BN because the lightning will do its job.

In my opinion, there is at present no need to ask for the ISA detention centre to be moved away from Kamunting. As it is, Kamunting now stands internationally as the Malaysian BN government's symbol of oppression. Let it stand as a tribute to the hypocrisy of those UMNO-led monsters who will protest against alleged ill treatment of people in other countries while closing both eyes when the evil deed is done by themselves. They clamour for justice for the Palestinians, the bad treatment againt the pro-democracy lead of Myanmar, injustice in Africa etc but he same things are also being carried out by these "God-fearing" hypocrites.
So to all Malaysian, let us not ask for the closure of Kamunting, rather we should wait and hopefully give it one last occupant while releasing all the rest so that he can sit in it all the rest of his useless life recalling all the evil that he has done when he was all powerful and all blur.

Laws can changed

No government on earth should be so powerful as to oppress the people according to their whims and fancies. RAJA PETRA KAMARUDDIN IS INNOCENT.

We elected you and we have a RIGHT TO TELL YOU TO GET LOST COZ YOU ARE NOT UP TO OUR MARK.

LAWS SHOULD NOT OPPRESS HUMAN BEINGS.

Hamid, THE DISGRACE, what do you know anything about LAW? You bundled Raja right into Kamunting camp without following law and procedure. If I see you in person, I am going to spit you in the face for being a bad Muslim.

By the way, I know your home town : NERAKA LAPISAN 7!!

All he and the whole UMNO gang can do is snub. They haven't got enough grey matter between their ears among the whole lot of them to put up a reasonably valid justification for anything they do. So they can only resort to brushing off all dissent and disagreement like they're God and they have the high ground and all you guys out there with different ideas can go to hell.

Demanding that the BN-led government move the ISA detention camp to another state is not the solution to the problem. In fact, if the government wants to frustrate Pakatan's attempts to force an abolishment of the ISA, it could just move the camp to the furthest end of Trengganu. Imagine then, how frustrating it would be for family members to visit the detainees. If the BN wants to be even more nasty, the camp could be moved to Tawau, Sabah.

The location or relocation of the camp has nothing to do with the abolishment of the ISA.

One has to view the ISA within the larger context of the government and political system. The system has evolved into a complex perverted eco-system of power, finance and justice (which includes law enforcement). For example, most of us agree that the PDRM requires an overhaul, but how do you think it could be done? We talk of political will to do it, but if I am protecting my interest in the PDRM, I'd have probably two or three thick files of dirt on my political masters. How could my political master come after me? The problem lies with the fact that everyone within the eco-system is feeding off one another.

The government has to be changed in order for the ISA to be either abolished or reviewed to prevent abuse by politicians. There is no other way, certainly not by moving the camp away from Taiping, Perak.

Just saw the satellite photo this KDC. It is like a rectangle shape box. But what i notice was there are uncleared area around it and surprising there is golf club nearby. Maybe that is the reason why they want to stay put! (the state should check whether the club is private or state owned!) IF the Federal do not want to relocate, then I suggest the State to make use of the land if it belongs to the state! Built an abattoir next to it!
