Washington summons Malaysian envoy

KUALA LUMPUR: The United States has summoned Ilango Karuppannan, the charge d’affaires of the Malaysian embassy, to protest what it called the “crackdown on dissent” at a time when the opposition was attempting to form a new government.

According to the AFP, Ilango was summoned to the State Department after the three arrests under the Internal Security Act (ISA) on Friday.

”Peaceful expression of political opinions is a fundamental right and critical to a democracy,” a State Department official told AFP.

”The United States believes that the Malaysian Government should provide due process and treatment consistent with Malaysian law and international standards,” said the official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

”We expect that democratic countries that purport to advocate free expression of political views will not curtail such freedom,” the official said.

This is the second time Ilango was summoned to the State Department in a month. (Petikan dari StarOnline)

Belum apa-apa lagi USA telah campurtangan.  ISA sama seperti Patriot Act USA yang memberi kuasa kepada Home Secretary untuk menangkap sesiapa demi keselamatan negaranya.  Lebih dasyhat dari Malaysia, akta USA ini membolehkan mendengar telefon orang awam dan komputer perseorangan.  Ini seperti meludah ke langit.  Atau ada udang di sebalik batu.  Atau ada orang Malaysia sendiri yang suka akan penjajahan USA.
