Recently we have bounced to lots of news about Internal Security Act, ‘ISA’. I bet you, majority of us do not know what ISA is about. Not an issue, because we will start to learn what it’s about.

The Internal Security Act 1960 (Malay: Akta Keselamatan Dalam Negeri) is a preventive detention law in force in Malaysia. The legislation was enacted by Malaysian politicians after the country gained independence from Britain in 1957. In brief, it allows for the arrest of any person without the need for trial in certain defined circumstances. Malaysia is one of the few countries in the world whose Constitution allows for preventive detention during peacetime without safeguards that elsewhere are understood to be basic requirements for protecting fundamental human rights.

“Any police officer may without warrant arrest and detain pending enquiries any person in respect of whom he has reason to believe that there are grounds which would justify his detention under section 8; and that he has acted or is about to act or is likely to act in any manner prejudicial to the security of Malaysia or any part thereof or to maintenance of essential services therein or to the economic life thereof.”

Any person may be detained by the police for up to 60 days without trial for an act which allegedly threatens the security of the country or any part thereof. After 60 days, one may be further detained for a period of two years each, to be approved by the Minister of Home Affairs, thus permitting indefinite detention without trial. In 1989, the powers of the Minister under the legislation was made immune to judicial review by virtue of amendments to the Act, only allowing the courts to examine and review technical matters pertaining to the ISA arrest.

What happened on 01 Aug, 2009? It was a gathering event of Anti-ISA and Pro-ISA among few places in Kuala Lumpur such as Sogo, Masjid Jamek and Masjid Negara. And that’s why thousand of peoples trapped in traffic jam. Reports say that there were about 15,000 to 20,000 of them made into this event.

For more information about the event, catch up @ Malaysia Kini by clicking here.

Meanwhile, we will get to know some of the ex-ISA detainees:

1) Tan Hoon Cheng

2) Raja Petra Kamarudin

3) Some others – ethnic Indians

To make a police report, it’s advisable if both parties do it right away after the accident. Reminder: There’s no necessary to take down the other party’s name or IC number. However, get his contact number and car registration number will do. Take picture if possible.

If the other party cannot go to make police report with you, then he will have to do it within 24 hours after the accident. Failing to do which, police officer has rights to issue summon to him.

Here, we will talk about what to take note on the police report when you explain to the police officer. Attached herewith a sample of police report.

(click image to view clearer)

Before making police report, make sure you know where exactly the police station is concerned against the location of accident.

For example. If accident were happened after Sungai Buloh tol, is it consider Sungai Buloh, Shah Alam or Kepong, Kuala Lumpur? If you go to the wrong police station, then you may waste your effort as most of the time, they will not entertain your case by giving the answer that they are not in-charge for that specified area.

1) Now, upon starting the report. Make sure you explain in detail on how the accident happened, what time and if there was any witness.

2) Draw a picture on how the vehicles bump into hamburger, or kisses each another. It’s to double confirm that you are eligible to claim insurance as well.

3) Once the report is complete written, read it again and make sure nothing left behind, which including how your car was damaged due to the accident.

4) If no problem, counter sign on the report and take note of the IO/ AIO, which is the ID number of the police officer/ Sarjan who going to take duty and start investigation on said case. Because with this reference ID, you know who you can refer to for further follow-up.

To some car drivers, accident insurance claim may be a new topic to you, if you are so lucky to meet no accident before.

There are few things you may need to know about accident insurance claim, what to claim, how to claim and what are the Do’s and Don’ts.

Slowly we will share with you one by one. Let’s start from what should you do upon meeting a car accident:

1) Let’s see who kisses who’s ass. In another words, who is hitting from behind is normally claimed to be receive summons.

2) If the injury is very-minor, then you may consider to settle it on the spot, which mean you pay some repairing fees to him/ her, or he/ she pay back to you if both parties accept it.

3) If the injury is consider severe, it’s advisable for both of you to make police report IMMEDIATELY. Yes, both parties, at the same time*. There’s no necessary to take down the name, IC number or phone number. But you can do it, especially the contact number (once you got the number, try to call on the spot to make sure that the number is correct and belongs to him).

^take picture of car acccident on the spot, if available and possible.

3.1) *Why should you make police report at the same time? Simply because if he/ she hit you from behind (that he is in fault) and the injury is not serious, he may try to ignore and refused to go to make police report. Why again? Simply, if he would to do so, he would have receive summon (of RM300) and at the same time, his car insurance NCD will goes back to 0%, means no more discount for car insurance payment next year.

Below chart show how NCD work on the saving on discount:
