Is the repeal of the ISA 'window-dressing' for an embattled BN ahead of the general election?
KOTA KINABALU: Scepticisms abound in Sabah over the repeal of the much-condemned Internal Security Act (ISA).
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak had announced on Sept 16 that the government would abolish the draconian law.
While the announcement came as a shock, as many had expected some good news related to consumer goodies in view of the general election, it was nevertheless much welcomed.
However, criticisms have since arisen after the govenment came back with a statement that two new enactments would be tabled in Parliament to replace the controversial ISA.
Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) has joined the long list of sceptics.
