  Read the link above about Chia Thye Poh who was held in solitary for 22yrs and 6 months under the ISA. Now the sad thing is, The ISA is an act carried forward from british colonial rule. Is this law not inhumane and unjust. Well we might as well have be-headings and firing squads as well dont you think.
  
  I say we remove the governments tools of civil intimidation and allow for Singaporean to fearlessly engage in politics.

  Hey look, a knife is sharp. It can cut deep and kill people.
  
  Lets all ban KNIVES. We shall tear meat apart when eat, and rip patients apart during surgery.
  
  Guns shoot and can kill people, lets do away with all guns. We shall defend ourselves and our countries with sticks and stones.
