It is obviously inevitable that such draconian systems such as ISA and Assembly / Procession bans will collapse. This is similar in Malaysia and Singapore as well as other Asian nations close by. The regimes are no longer able to sustain these classic shields to cover themselves, these systems became more burdens than shields to the regimes effectively. They had been hard-hit by these out-dated shields, they are painfully bruised. :-)

ISA in particular had hurt the famiLEE LEEgime in dramatic ways when JI's Mas Selamat fled ISD. :-) The Singaporean and Malaysian opposition fighters are no longer afraid of ISA. In Malaysia indeed the ISA detainee got elected while being detained, showing that the ISA had back-fired badly.

The famiLEE LEEgime which is still pressing 8 charges of Speech Without Permit against me & Dr. Chee Soon Juan, on top of other Assembly & Procession charges. But they are clearly at a point that they don't know where is their own direction, these are their serious set-backs and unlike before they found no leverage nor intemidation effects, except for an increasingly higher political price to pay. These charges only serve the function as Political Musturbation. :-)

BN Regime in Malaysia is in not any better situation than famiLEE LEEgime at the moment, Najib is forced to amend these old laws that had been used as shields by several PMs before himself. I can predict that the amendments on law will not ease the regimes plights by very much, they only proved their defeats, similar with famiLEE LEEgime's bunch legislation changes.

While they made efforts to try to look less rediculos the reflections shows strongly otherwise.
