KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Utusan Malaysia, one of the staunchest defenders of the Internal Security Act (ISA), is now changing its tune about the security law but without remorse for what had happened in the past when the Umno-owned daily had called for it to be put into use.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced a slew of reforms to press and security laws on Thursday and the lifting of three Emergency Declarations, saying that the move to increase civil liberties was “risky, but we are doing this for our survival.”
“It is true what Najib had announced is appropriate at this point in time. We should look forward to the new world reality of today. Change will happen sooner or later. The country cannot forever remain set in its ways.
