Abstract

I agree with Dennis Ignatius that the continued detention of 12 Malaysians on charges of supporting the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Elam (LTTE) is an issue that is of no less importance, especially when it is “one that challenges the very notion of Malaysia as a democratic nation (and) has been allowed to play out without the outrage that it rightly deserves”. But I would like to take issue with Dennis on several matters that were raised by him. Firstly, Dennis suggested that the 28-day detention under the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) is a detention without trial. No, it is not. The 28-day detention, after the initial 24 hours following arrest, is for the purpose of investigation.
