Umno legal advisor wants Azizah detained under ISA

(Bernama) - Umno legal advisor Mohd Hafarizam Harun has suggested that the Internal Security Act (ISA) be invoked to deal with the controversy over the 'ketuanan Melayu' (Malay supremacy) remark by PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

He described Wan Azizah's remark, calling for the notion of Malay supremacy to be abandoned, which she made at the party's congress last Saturday, as a direct challenge to the provisions in the federal constitution and not a form of freedom of expression.

Now that the advice of Prime Minister Najib Razak against questioning the rights of the Malays went unheeded, he said, the ISA should be used to deal with it.

"The ISA should be invoked against PKR, DAP or PAS leaders who continue to question the special position and privileges of the Malays because it is now proven that they try to stoke hatred towards the Malays because of the special rights," he said in an interview with Umno-online.com.

He said that when the Malay supremacy, special position of the Malays and Malay rulers and anything that related to Article 153 were openly questioned, more so in a congress attended by non-Malays, it was no longer a form of challenge but an attempt to belittle the position, status and rights of the Malays and the Malay rulers.

"Article 153 is entrenched in the constitution and something which cannot be amended or questioned," he said, adding that he fully supported calls for action against Wan Azizah for her remark.

"To me, the time has come for the authorities to act, and for the Malays, either individually, or through NGOs or political parties, to raise to defend their rights," he said.

Mohd Hafarizam said police reports could be lodged against Wan Azizah, among others for uttering seditious remarks in questioning the rights, status, position and privileges of the Malays as enshrined in Articles 152, 153 and 181 of the federal constitution.

Article 152 is on the position of the Malay language as the national language, Article 153 on the special position of the Malays in terms of business permits and scholarships and Article 181 on the position of Malay rulers.

He said report could also be made to the Registrar of Societies (ROS) because the party had been fanning hatred and racial prejudice.

Deregistration would be among the actions the ROS could take against the PKR, he said.

He called on the ROS to look at the powers vested in it to see the type of actions it could take against the party.

"Umno itself had its registration revoked in 1987. Why should there be a special treatment to PKR as though they are immune," he said.

Me think this guy is not a Malay, he 'was' a Mamak but somehow managed to Masuk Melayu, just like Riduan Tee, inspired by the Senior Mamak (one of our ex-CEO) he is ready to climb up the UMNO ladder.
The real privilege race in Malaysia is not the Malays, but other races in disguise as Malays and using UMNO as a vehicle to propel themselves forward.

A useless and good for nothing party with its cock-eyed and screwed up adviser. We have NEVER HEARD him raising any comments on the numerous rampant cases of crimes and immoral acts committed by umNO.

He is BLIND and DOES NOT have the CREDIBILITY to warrant LISTENING to.

Hunkeyboy ,
It looks like it is what they look for ... A 13 May 2 will give them again the rights to do and say wathever can keep them on power . It will be more easy to jail the opponents under ISA .
They will let the Malays nazis fight with the Pendatang while the other malays will just keep quiet and blind ( They are very pandai at this )..
The rich people will just fly away in safe places , the time for the job to be done .
The BN helped by the 95% Bumiputera Polis and Army will "save the country" again ..as they did in 69 ...
F**k off !

What was he smoking? Pot?
Or did M.H. Harun's mother dropped him on him head when he was a baby to cause such a serious brain damage.
He thinks he can ingratiate himelf with the UMNO political leaders this way.
Instead they now realised that they have a cretin as legal advisor.
His career is finished.

What a fantastic idea. How come only the Umnoputras and others associated with Umno has the brains to ever , ever come out with the idea to have all the Pakatan Rakyat leaders to be detained under the ISA for two years detention without trial?
And thereafter to call for the 13th General Elections while all oppositions leaders are in Kamunting.
This brilliant Mohd Hafarizam Harun guy can put Mamakutty to shame.

Umno legal advisor Mohd Hafarizam Harun should know that in order for Wan Azizah to be arrested, someone has to lodge a police report. I suggest that he is a lawyer and if he has the UMNO balls, then he should do it. See whether police will do anything when everyone are pretty aware that there is no such thing as "Ketuanan Melayu" in the Perlembagaan.at all. You should tell your party members to stop twisting the fact, and get on to develop the nation as a multi-racial country instead of praying for apartheid. What is 1-Malaysia from your own President when you are totally fighting against it????

Like Nazri said, these sort of idiots only have mud in their head.

UMNO legal adviser???

Like the one who we can now identified as the UMNO "foot-in-the-mouth" dumbo legal eagle in the Teoh Beng Hock's case????

Maybe not mud....perhaps more likely it's just pure shit!

Legal advisor (haha), does he really know the law?

Or perhaps, just another stupid opportunist who just cannot zip up his big mouth!

UMNO Loyarburruk

Pordah legal advisor to UMNO,.PKR is 50% Malays and they got a right to diminish the Pertuanan Melayu and share the cake with the Rakyat by saying Pertuanan Rakyat. Only you stupid Melayu as according to the Indon “ lazy bugger” would not admit it. You want everything free. Go pump your car with water lah.So are you going to put all PKR members into the ISA centre. And the gomen going to feed them 3 meals a day.? Sometimes you loyar burruk I just do not know where you got your licence to operate maybe from the dog licence of the Majlis Perbandaraya. If a Melayu who do not want themselves to be called tuan what is wrong with that, you going to ISA them. Better put your mouth in Ibrahim Ali’s SHIT SHIT SHIT.

Hello Mohd Hafarizam Harun,

As UMNO legal advisor, you should know the laws of the country very well.

Can you quote which law or Article in the Constitution that Wan Azizah has contravened. Do not incite those UMNO malays and use scare tactics against anyone that opposes UMNO.
