When asked about the differences between the ISA and the DDA the Home Minister said that the initials are different for starters and that Malaysians should no longer be wary of the ISA (because it will cease to exist).

Breaking News. Malaysia.
The Malaysian Home Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, today stated for a fact that the new law to replace the Internal Security Act 1960 will still provide for detention without trial.
He said detention without trial was also being practised in some countries in the fight against terrorism, such as the Patriot Act in the United States and Anti-Terrorism Act in the United Kingdom and Australia.
On Sept 15, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in his Malaysia Day special address announced that the ISA would be repealed and two new suitable laws formulated to preserve peace, harmony, stability and prosperity in the country.
One of the new laws shall be named the Domestic Defense Act (DDA) that will provide for security measures under the existing law to protect the government from internal attacks.
When asked about the differences between the ISA and the DDA the Home Minister said that the initials are different for starters and that Malaysians should no longer be wary of the ISA (because it will cease to exist).
“The DDA will provide for a detention period (without trial) to be determined by me or my cousin whereas the ISA had a fixed maximum detention period of two years only.” This means that the new law will empower the government to detain an individual indefinitely without having to go through the mundane process of reapplying for such detention to be extended every two years. The Home Minister said that this is done to save costs as every reapplication takes time, effort and money, as the documents have to be completed in triplicate.
The Home Minister also said that the new law would also incorporate notice to families of the detainees and the process of making appeals. “The Government of Malaysia will inform the family members of those who are detained (without trial) the period of detention and where the detainee will be incarcerated (Kamunting).”
As for making appeals, the GOM will charge each appeal a minimum RM100,000 (in cash only) for processing the appeal documents (which must be in triplicate).
The Home Minister said that a special counter will be set up in his office in Putrajaya to process these appeal applications but warned that no receipts will be issued. “We are cutting costs on paper.”
When asked whether the existing ISA detainees be released once the old law has been repealed the Home Minister replied, “Yes. We will release all existing ISA detainees immediately once ISA has been repealed by Parliament. However we shall be re-detaining these people under the DDA.”

Whatever the initial this DDA is worst than ISA. Hishamoo clearly stated that it is up to him and his cousin Najib, not forgetting FLOM to decide who, whatever the reason and for how long a period a person can be detained. So meaning that if you write and talk bad about them especially FLOM you can be detain under DDA.
Second part with the excuse of cutting costs on paper, appeal application will be charge a minimum RM100,000 (cash only) for processing appeal documents. So how many will have that kind of money? Unless of course if Hishamoo and Najib not forgetting FLOM decide to put people like Mahathir, Vincent Tan, The present Agong, Sultan of Selangor, Toyo, Nazri, Zahid, Shahrizat, Ling............and many other millionaires and billionaires under DDA. Then RM100,000 is no problem. But when you use DDA against bloggers, activists, NGOs, opposition leaders and people like you and me, we are dead ducks. Even if you have the cash, MACC will come after your family and claim haram money. Then the Judges will make sure you lose the appeal. And if you decide to pursue again you have to cough another RM100,000. Is this not similar to what Lee Kuan Yew did to the opposition in Singapore. And is it not true that LKY is now paying for his sinful ways?
So do we wait for Allah to punish Hishamoo, Najib and Rosmah or do we not protect our right before we go down a harsher road with DDA 2012.
We simply cannot afford to allow Najib and FLOM to be dictators using DDA 2012.
In the meantime, I feel sad that some people after going to Mecca, come back more evil.
