ISA detainee cannot attend swearing-in ceremony

Internal Security Ministry has rejected ISA detainee and Kota Alam Shah assemblyman M. Manoharan’s application to attend swearing-in ceremony.

Why is Manoharan being rejected? In the past, there are cases where special arrangements are made for the detainees to do swearing-in ceremony.

M. Manoharan is an elected representative by the people, he should be given the chance to attend or do the swearing-in ceremony.

Samy can you do something?

The reason ISA is being invoked is because the government thought that M. Manoharan is a threat to national security.

Is Manoharan still a threat to national security?

Penang CM Lim Guan Eng said that the open tender system in Penang follows the finance procedure under the federal government to ensure transparency and fairness.

There should not be any demonstration now because Mr Lim is following the federal government's system. So no need to demonstrate for now.
