Just woke up. Turned on computer to read news on thestar.com.my. Came across a piece of bengang news. Comments in green.

Najib: Release of ISA detainees done in interest of people

PUTRAJAYA: The release of the 13 Internal Security Act detainees was done in the interest of the people and not to gain popularity, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said yesterday.

- yea right. Couldn’t do it earlier is it? Must wait for few days before the three by-elections and when you become PM??!!! &*@%^#$!

He said giving priority to the people was the most important mission in the national administrative agenda and, as such, the decision was justified.

- yawwwnnn…. “POPULIST” STATEMENT

The move to release ISA detainees was also proof that the Government was not repressive, he added.

- !$@@^%#^!!!! Proof that not repressive??? How did they end up in Kamunting in the first place? Walked in there voluntarily???

“The Government has the best interest of the people at heart,” he said.

- P-O-P-U-L-I-S-T

When pointed out that some viewed it as a populist move, Najib said: “If we don’t release them, they will say the Government is repressive. If we release them, they will say we are populist.”

- so it’s our fault now? Double @^@%^$^!!@#@$

“So which is which?” he told a press conference at his Sri Satria residence yesterday.

- don’t ISA people in the first place

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who was present, was also asked what he thought about the release.

“I think it is a good move. I don’t know if you remember, but when I became Prime Minister I released 21 people who were held under ISA. So, I thought if it was good for me, so it must be good for Najib too,” he said.

- wahhhhh 21 so banyak man. Compared to the no. of years you were PM… it’s bout 1 person per year!!! Very impressive!!

- also, taking into account the no. of people you put in. Champion la.

Dr Mahathir pointed out that he was ready to help Umno and the Government by campaigning for Barisan Nasional during the by-elections.

“Positions are not necessary. But if we want to work together and I am consulted, I am ready to help,” he said.

Without revealing the date for the new Cabinet line-up, Najib said the report about a “smaller Cabinet” was something that the media had created and he was still thinking about the line-up.
