"Then earlier this year the Malaysian Government announced that it was considering turning the draconian provisions of the Internal Security Act 1960 against repeat infringers as a last resort. Michael Soo of Shook Lin & Bok explains that the Act empowers police officers to arrest without warrant anyone they 'have reason to believe' has acted or is likely to act 'in any manner that is prejudicial to the security of Malaysia'.
