This is going to be a long post as I am going to give you a "mental tour"( not a first person account, but by "conscience" imagination !) of how "to turn offenders into members of society who could contribute to nation building." as seen through the eyes of our honorable Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar.......
Place: lets say......erh... Kamunting Detention Camp ??
Time: Present
Picture this, folks.....
Scenario 1: You have been detained for reasons only the Home Minister thinks as unsuitable/unstable to be a civil "contributing" member of society for days now. You really cannot remember how many days you've been detained now. You are kept blinded-folded and in pitch dark rooms. You have protested a hundred times of your innocence, over and over that you have not, raped your fellow members of society neither have you raped, murdered and plundered the rakyat's coffers. You are in complete isolation and have been questioned non-stop by all available men in uniform all through the day and night and you still don't know why they are holding you as they claim you are a "threat to society". Water and "food"( read today's Malay Mail classic probe here-"we dare you to eat this") is shoved to you in dirty plastic or tin cups and plate 3 times a day and you'd want to puke as the taste of the "food" touches your mouth. You are tired, in a daze, lethargic and feeling like you want to give -up ! But don't know what you want to give up on... right?
Scenario 2: When they are done questioning for the first few days, and your "mental and health condition" having all the above symptoms in scenario 1, they then put you in a totally dark and silent room, seated on a stool, hands bound behind your back, blind-folded and sitting up-right ! Above your head about 5 feet up, is a container filled with cold water. A single drop of water drops on your head in intervals of say 10 seconds. And this goes on for maybe an hour or so. You cannot move your head to avoid that single drop and the minutes are slowing dragging on....as each second passes by, you are already anticipating the next drop. Drip...drip....drip....as you dread, curse and will be driven to near insanity in that totally dark and absolutely quiet room, anticipating the next drop which by now feels like a brick slamming on your head....and the seconds turn to minutes and slowly to hours all day long and the drop of water still continues to drop on and on and on till maybe you pass out....and you still don't know why and for how long you'd be subjected to this kind of mental torture...... going crazy already huh?....you still with me here, folks ?
Scenario 3: By now you don't know how long you've been there already, as you don't see the light of day and everyday you're kept isolated from everyone else and in totally pitch-dark and dank cubicles and you're moved around silently, blind-folded and your hands cuffed behind your back everytime! Your body if not your spirit is now near breaking point, but you still don't know why you're daily subjected to the same routine of not physical but mental torture....you're going insane wondering what day it is as by now you've lost track of all day and time because you've been passing out every now between "questioning" and from sheer mental exhaustion.....and with your failing health, eating all that "food" you get worse and worse both mentally and physically! Then one day someone comes and whispers into your ears that you've been a "good" boy already and that you've been rewarded with a "visit" from your loved one, in a week's time ! You get all excited but still the "routine" goes on daily but from then on with renewed "hope" you try weakly to look forward to "that" visit. Every hour or so they come and whisper into your ear that your loved one is coming......and every other day and hour they whisper to you "it's another 5 days to go" and then the next day every hour or so they continue to whisper to you "it's another 4 days to go" and then "it's another 3 days to go before your loved one is coming to visit you" to a point you seem to only look forward to "that" visit and endure the same routine of torture between questioning, water drippings and passing-out, with anticipated eager hope now.
Then it is time for that "visit" by your loved one and you are told to put on your "best" attire and they lead you blind-folded, mouth taped to a "waiting room" and left to wait. They tell you that your loved one will be in the next room soon and when she is ready you will be taken to the next room. You wait and wait and then the clock ticks on and on and the hours creep by.....when you finally hear shuffling movements in the room next door..... like the sound of people whispering in hushed under-tones and you hear something like people hurriedly ripping off their clothes...then the sound of smacking and slurping of lips kissing and then the heaving, groaning and moaning of 2 bodies intimately locked in passionate sex ! All the while you are trying to shut off the sound of that tryst in the room next door and you want to scream as you rock in nervous "insane fashion" in your seat having the wildest thoughts of your loved one "getting it all sweaty".....running through your already screwed-up head !
After what seems like forever everything is quiet again and you hear the sound of people dressing-up and doors opening and shutting silently. And a few minutes later someone opens the door of your room and whispers nervously into your ear.." your wife did come BUT she decided not to see today" !...........Can you handle this sort of torture, folks ??
Scenario 4: Is when you have been there so long and had been passing-out so often ,when you come around, they put you in a room with calenders and bit of letters dated some crazy days in the past or future....say September 25th. 2012. or September 21st. 2006. You think you must be crazy and you end-up asking what day today is and they actually convince you it is indeed 2012 or 2006 now ! See you've been loosing track of time passing-out so often and cannot really recall the events of time....that it drives you nuts trying to figure or come to terms with time ! Then on another day they would turn the clock back and again you'd be given a totally different answer to your enquiry of date ! This goes on over time so much so you'd start thinking you really ARE mad.
And when they have driven you comfortably to the edge of insanity...... and after 2 years or 8 years (depending on public interest) they release you into the world proudly claiming you are indeed a changed and neutralised man and now fit to rejoin civil society and who could help in nation building ! Such is the tactics and punishment meted out at despicable detention centres to rehabilitate anyone who goes against, speaks out or stands in the way of power crazy and corrupt scum-bags masquerading as politicians !
God bless all detainees detained under the ISA here in Malaysia !
So there folks, listen to your heart, pray and repent in this holy month of Ramadan and to the rest of you folks, "selamat berbuka puasa "!

Quite a traumatizing ordeal indeed bro. But this still doesn't include the "Rehabilitation" part of their stay at Hotel Kamunting.
The way events have been unfolding over the past week, especially with all that spin that Anwar seems to be giving us, i'm rather disappointed indeed.
cheers

u traumatised me. I know all yr scenarios are not something u made up.
I do not wishthis on my enemies..I just dun understand how some Aholes seem to hv no conscience sleep well when they do this to innocent ppl
Since they can do this to ISA prisoners, dare I hope they do worst to Murderers, Rapists & Armed Robbers, like nurin's killers?
On the 1 hand I am praying for all ISA prisoners to be released, on the other hand I am having evil thoughts of how the truly evil should meet horrible fates.
man...I am so f**ked.
man..the country is EVEN more f**ked
Hebat Shafie Afdal… ISA memang tidak perlu dikaji semula
SEPATUTNYA, kabinet Malaysia mempunyai semua menteri yang berpendirian setanding dengan Menteri Perpaduan Kebudayaan Kesenian dan Warisan, Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Afdal yang mempertahankan Akta
Keselamatan Dalam Negeri (ISA) supaya tidak perlu dikaji semula kerana ia masih diperlukan di negara berbilang kaum dan agama seperti Malaysia.
Menurut Shafie yang juga Ahli MT Umno, ISA mempunyai peranannya tersendiri dalam menangani pelbagai isu yang timbul daripada struktur masyarakat Malaysia yangberbilang kaumdan agama bagi memastikan kententeraman kaum dan kesejahteraan negara sentiasa terjamin.
“Tak perlu di nilai semula. Apa yang penting ialah kita kena melihat kebaikan ISA,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis berbuka puasa bersama masyarakat setempat di Semporna baru-baru ini.
Sebelum ini, terdapat beberapa suara dari pembangkang dan penyokong kerajaan (termasuk menteri dan pemimpin-pemimpin parti komponen BN) yang mengesyorkan supaya ISA dikaji semula.. Malahan, ada juga yang secara terang-terang tidak bersetuju ISA digunakan untuk menahan wartawan.
Sepatutnya, 23 juta rakyat dan penduduk Malaysia (tidak termasuk orang asing) tidak perlu gusar dengan ISA kerana ISA bukan dikenakan terhadap penunggang motosikal yang tidak memakai topi keledar atau, pemandu kereta yang tidak memakain tali pinggang keselamatan, tetapi ia digunakan sebagai pencegahan kepada ‘rusuhan’ dan keadaan yang tidak menjamin keselamatan masyarakat.
ISA juga tidak digunakan setiap bulan, sebaliknya pihak polis mengambil langkah berhati-hati dna cukup teliti untuk menguatkuasakan undang-undang ini. Malangnya, ada menteri (bukan Menteri Dalam Negeri) yang membuat komen ketidakwajaran penggunaan ISA ini.
Sepatutnya Teresa Kok, wartawan Tan Chee Hong dan Raja Petra Kamaruddin ‘berbangga’ kerana ditahan di bawah ISA dan jika benar dihidangkan dengan ‘makanan anjing’ kerana mereka ‘memilih jalan ini’ kerana tingkah laku mereka sendiri. Apakah Teresa Kok tidak merasakan dia ‘menyinggung’ perasaan kaum lain (selain dari Cina) ketika dia menurunkan ‘tanda jalan bertulisan jawi’ untuk digantikan dengan papan tanda yang tiada tulisan jawi?
Polis juga cukup berpengalaman ketika menjalankan risikan dan mustahil, tanpa apa-apa sebab yang boleh dipercayai ‘untuk menahan’ seseorang. Saya sendiri, jika tulisan-tulisan saya dilihat menghasut dan ada sebab mempercayai, saya menghasut, saya reda untuk memilih ditahan di bawah ISA, jika difikirkan itu sahaja yang boleh menyelamatkan perpaduan dan keharmonian kaum di negara ini.
Ketika Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat tidak mahu Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim ditahan di bawah ISA kerana dikatakan mengancam ekonomi dan keselamatan negara, tidak pula Nik Aziz menasihatkan Anwar supaya menghentikan ‘lakonan tidak perlu’ yang dilakukan selama ini, hingga menyebabkan situasi politik negara menjadi tidak menentu.
Lim Kit Siang yang kelihatan berhempas pulas membidas tindakan kerajaan menahan Teresa Kok di bawah ISA juga tidak dilihat merosakkan ekonomi dan keselamatan negara, sebagai mana yang dilakukan Anwar, tidak sepatutnya ‘risau’ dengan ISA.
Amatlah baik, sebagai orang yang pernah di tahan di bawah ISA, Kit Siang menasihatkan Teresa supaya tidak melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang boleh menyebabkan ISA ‘menjemputnya’ ke dalam. Bukankah Teresa bekas Setiausaha Politik kepada Kit Siang?
Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi sepatutnya mempunyai anggota kabinet seperti Shafie. Mungkin dalam banyak hal lain, Shafie tidak terpakai, tetapi dalam isu ISA, Shafie adalah ‘menteri terbaik’ yang Pak Lah ada, pada fikiran saya.
Ketika Menteri Dalam Negeri dan Pak Lah diserang hebat ketika isu ISA timbul baru-baru ini, saya memang tertunggu-tunggu kalau-kalau ada menteri yang ’sanggup bangkit’ mempertahankan ISA dan kerajaan. Ada suara datangnya dari Menteri Luar, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim yang juga dikatakan amat pakar dalam undang-undang, tetapi dia juga meminta ISA dikaji semula, ketika isu ini sedang hangat.
Bercakap kenalah ikut adat. Ada masa yang sesuai kita bercakap, ada masanya, tidak. Tempat juga kena tengok sebelum bercakap. Masalahnya, ada menteri-menteri ikut suka hati bila hendak bercakap, tidak ikut adat, tidak tengok tempat dan kesesuaian masa.
Isunya, Pak Lah seorang yang lembut dan berhemah. Tidak terlalu mengongkong. Tetapi ‘anak-anak buahnya’ silap faham. Mereka ambil kesempatan. Apa yang mereka cakap, akhirnya menjadi senjata digunakan pembangkang menikam BN. Contoh paling ketara, tindakan Zaid Ibrahim yang gagal untuk kembali menjadi Ketua Umno Bahagian Kota Bharu, membidas ISA – tanpa tahu bahawa undang-undang inilah sebenarnya yang telah terbukti berjaya menyelamatkan negara ini, sejak peristiwa hitam 13 Mei 1969.
Cuba bertanya kepada Anwar Ibrahim, kenapa dia ditahan di bawah ISA suatu ketika dahulu? Adakah kerana dia sedang menunggang motosikal tanpa memakai topi keledar? Begitu juga dengan Datuk Ibrahim Ali, Datuk Tajuddin Abdul Rahman, Fahmi Ibrahim dan beberapa orang lagi… apakah kesalahan yang mereka lakukan hingga menyebabkan mereka di tahan di bawah ISA?

gobloking,
But first they've got to CATCH Nurin's killers...right ? Looks like everyone's conveniently forgotten about Nurin.... our police are too busy politiking and serving their masters...the politicians !
Cheers !
Hmmm.. I think scenario 4 could be something just like that part in the movie Underground President, after the cops bust the villain Slugs and his gang.. Slugs calls out for his girlfriend, who doesn't answer. Officer in charge of raiding party says: "Naw, you don't go worryin bout no woman now nigga, coz where you goin, a 400 pound nigga called Bubba's gonna make you his gurlfreyn.."
That's what American law does to a drug dealer, murderer, robber, all rolled into one. Send him off to prison to get buggered by Bubba, when he should be tortured, hanged, then dumped at sea.
But then, Americans don't make no law in this country. Two sides to the coin, both read the same value, but you buy less in the other store.
But of course, at one end there was trial before you get buggered, rather than just plain send you off to be buggered.
Which is, anyhow you think about it, uncivilised.
Shang, who is this kelong guy....he is ripe for sainthood. I have not been inspired spiritually for quite a spell and this guy is divinely inspiring. Can I meet him/her? I am told I am beyond redemption, but he/she may be the answer to my mother's prayers. Let's meet...bring him/her for a fishing trip to the wharf. I can volunteer to be a bait.
