It could not have been more obvious. First the Bersih Rally. Then it was the Hindraf protest. Malaysian activists were out on all fronts to challenge PM Abdullah Badawi to use the ISA to detain them. They have not done anything wrong. So the only way the PM could stop them was to use the infamous Internal Security Act to lock them up - Malaysian style.
Who is behind all this? Anwar Ibrahim? Ex-PM Mahathir? Some might even venture to say that everything was engineered by hidden elements within UMNO itself, plotting the downfall of Abdullah.
Needless to say Abdullah's reputation with Western government and media will be badly hit. Not to mention there will be no love lost between him now and Malaysian Indians whom have been supporting the Hindraf activists all this while.
Abdullah's leadership will be questioned now. First he lost the mainstream Chinese support. Next he has lost whatever support he had from the local Indians. It won't be long when he finally wakes up from his Sleeping Beauty Slumber and see his own pole position all dwindled down. For there are many within UMNO itself waiting to pounce on him. Who will he use the ISA on next?
P/S: Err... has anyone tried googling for sleeping prime minister on YouTube?
