All you need to do is allege, and there is no need for you to prove these 'false allegations' , and the victim of these allegations also cannot go to court to challenge these 'false allegations'. This is the case of all 3 Detention Without Trial laws in Malaysia, and one if this is the Dangerous Drug (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985.
We have been focusing a lot on the ISA, and we forget to focus on the other 2 laws that allow for Detention Without Trial.
Dangerous Drug (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985, just like the ISA, also allows for the police to detain up to 60 days, and thereafter for a person to be detained by virtue of the Minister's Detention Order of 2 years at a time, which can be renewed indefinitely...There is also no substantive judicial review available to the detainee, i.e. cannot question of challenge the reasons for the Detention.
Release that PKR leader immediately and unconditionally, and repeal all laws that allow for Detention Without Trial. [Reviewing and/or amending is just a waste of time - just repeal them for we already do have sufficient laws for all kinds of crimes in Malaysia...]
