ISA detainees weevil and wild life meals

A quote from Malaysiakini,
Jeffrey Kitingan and four of his fellow inmates managed to catch a small snake on two occasions and a bird to supplement their diet when they were detained under ISA.
---end---

Is it not bad and cruel enough for people to be detained without a trial under ISA? Why treat them even worse than criminals in normal prisons by not giving them the same privillege accorded to criminals to buy food and drinks from canteens? If the authorities are not willing to spend a little more money for better food for the detainees, allow their families and donors to provide food for them or run a canteen for them. ISA detainees should not be treated badly as most of them these days are politically motivated arrests. They are not hardcore criminals.

First, Teresa Kok complained about the food and I thought that she was being choosy but slowly the truth is coming out from other detainees. Imagine having to catch wild life like snakes and birds to supplement your food or having weevil infested food.

If Syed Hamid thinks that the food is alright, then he should stay there for a month and eat the same food with additional weevil protein added.

I urge the government to have a heart. To those who believe in God, you would not do this to another human.

MANSUHKAN ISA!

If these so-called people or politicians (not consider leaders) believe in God, my beloved Malaysia will not become like this - everywhere toll roads, high crime (imagine some wealthy family is hiring own security guard in front of their house), can't have inter-connect integrated public transport system, flash flood, etc etc. No budget, no more allocation, no money. Where's my tax money gone to ? ACA can't act, judicial can't act, Agong can't do anything. God ! Do you know where's Rakyat money gone to ?

Dear anonymous
Indeed, where have our money in taxes gone? I am a victim of flood. Over a span of 18 years, I have had 5-6 pretty series floods and have lost thousands of dollars. The last ones were in July and September 2008. Can you imagine the frustrations and stress? On top of that, I have experienced at least 8 break-ins and to date, no one is charged or caught. Like you, I wonder what has happened to our tax money. Perhaps the government would like to answer that question.
