Musa Hassan says there were more shootings and murders among gangsters after the ISA was repealed.
PETALING JAYA: Former inspector-general of police Musa Hassan again defended the Internal Security Act , saying it had lowered incidences of crime and murder among gangsters, but his reasoning was shot down by human rights activist Edmund Bon.
For Sosma, for instance, there was a need to remand the person, investigate and take him to court. If there was no case, he would be freed and if there was, he would be charged in court. Bon said that years ago, when the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission was proposed, it was suggested that it not only probe the police for alleged wrongdoing but also ensure policemen had better working conditions, salaries and accommodation.“They can punish and the police officers cannot appeal in court. We need to give justice to them too. There should be justice for both. There should be a balance,” said Musa.
