To infer his point, Kua drew courtesy to a drafting of a ISA in 1960 as an instrument to combat comrade insurgency among a backdrop of a subsiding conflict.

"Despite a misadventure rate during a Emergency dropping really drastically, a ISA was still passed. There was no justification for that."

Kua pronounced a role of anti-ISA movements such as Suaram as well as GMI had yet to end as well as all contingency be joined in hostile any law providing for apprehension but trial.
