Prime minister Badawi made a veiled threat yesterday that the ISA may be employed to detain opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim (Malaysiakini).
‘He has become a threat to the economy and possibly (national) security,” Badawi said.
This in itself provides sufficient grounds for the authorities to invoke the tough security law, which provides detention without trial against Anwar.
And when asked what action the government would take against him, Abdullah refused to reveal his cards, saying: “I will not indicate what plan I will take, what I do will be in the best interests of the people and the country.”
“Because of Anwar’s actions, there are fund managers who have reported that Malaysia is purportedly no longer a good place for investment because of the unstable political climate.”
The rumor mills in Kuala Lumpur predict that Anwar may be arrested anytime between tonight and Saturday.
