KUALA KLAWANG - FOREIGN Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim on Saturday called for a cautious review of the Internal Security Act (ISA), saying that calling for the abolition of the act was merely a political opinion which should not be expressed.
He said he agreed that the ISA was not 100 per cent perfect and that the sections which did not allegedly meet humanitarian aspects could be reviewed.
'I agree with this. In fact, this is the principle we have been subscribing to all along,' he told reporters here.
Dr Rais, who is the Member of Parliament for Jelebu, said a review was started some time ago but it took time because of the changing conditions in the country in terms of security and public interest.
'When the time is right, there should be a review and it will not be contrary to any law,' he said. -- BERNAMA
