the case of Loh Kooi Choon v. Government of Malaysia
Thank you, Your Honor. I have been detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for six years without trial. I believe that this violates my fundamental liberties under the Malaysian Constitution.
Good morning, we are here today to hear the case of Loh Kooi Choon v. Government of Malaysia. Plaintiff, please state your case.
Your Honor, the ISA is a necessary measure to protect national security. The plaintiff was detained under the Act because there was credible evidence that he posed a threat to national security.
Thank you for your statements. Let us refer to the Constitution of Malaysia, which guarantees fundamental liberties to individuals. However, these liberties are not absolute and may be limited in certain circumstances. The question before us is whether the detention of the plaintiff under the ISA was a justifiable limitation on his fundamental liberties.
Your Honor, the detention of the plaintiff under the ISA was necessary to protect national security. The government had credible evidence that the plaintiff posed a threat to national security, and therefore his detention was justified
Your Honor, I believe that my detention under the ISA was unjustified. I was not given a fair trial, and there was no evidence presented against me that would justify my detention
