KULIM: The Umno Youth the Internal Security Act (ISA) to be amended rather than abolished.
Its chief Khairy Jamaluddin said that the abolishment of the act was an option but it would be better to amend it so that there would not be any room for abuse.
"Any act that will replace the ISA should have the same objective, that is to safeguard the country's security.
“At the moment it is not proper to abolish the ISA," he told reporters after opening the Kulim-Bandar Baharu Umno Youth and Puteri Umno meetings here Saturday.
He was asked to comment on the remark by former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Friday, in which he called on the government to abolish or amend the ISA.
Khairy said, ISA was still relevant as a preemptive measure against security threats, including terrorism.
Other countries had also enacted laws similar to the ISA, he added.
Meanwhile Khairy called on Umno Youth members to be more focus in their preparation to face the next general election.
He said the tide of change among the people, especially among the young, was sweeping in favour the Barisan Nasional as could be seen in the recent Manik Urai state by-election in Kelantan.
Khairy also sent condolences to the Indonesian people and the families of the victims of the bomb blasts that killed eight people and injuring dozens others in Jakarta Friday. - Bernama
