ISA?

Is the act all bad?

If I am not mistaken, it was enacted out of good intentions for the country. However, like any other power, it can be subject to abuse if authority falls into the wrong hands.

Now, we are no longer in danger of violence by whoever the ISA was meant to curb. Therefore the ISA ought to be repealed.

Yesterday I read in the newspapers about human traffickers being detained under ISA when the authorities could not find proof against their alleged activities.

Is the ISA still beneficial to the people? I understand that many are against the act as it, from certain perspectives, may seem very unfair. Anybody can be detained for sometimes ridiculous reasons as long as the home minister deems to be seditious.

The ISA seems very unpopular among many, however can it be put to good use? Is the act all bad?
