Today a man named in 9/11 Commission Report who is detained with another two suspects are released by a Malaysian court today.
Yazid Sufaat previously detained by the Malaysian authority under Internal Security Act now defunct legislation and later was released by them when they convinced that he was fully rehabilitated.
Unfortunately, he and two other were detained in February this year on the suspicious that he may involved with terrorist related activities.
They are detained under SOSMA, the newly enacted legislation which oversees terrorism in Malaysia to the surprise of many people.
Now they are released by the court.
With current turmoil on electoral fraud claims by the opposition through the demonstrations, the timing of release of these detainees has created some cause of anxieties among security analysts.
National security is paramount. No one is above the law. Law need to be respected and followed.
Then, again, a terrorist is a terrorist always. A hardcore terrorist in my opinion can not be rehabilitated. There is no way to guarantee that they will not go to the terrorist path again.
We have many living examples for the above mentioned statement.
Therefore the intelligence and enforcement agencies in Malaysia must be vigilant and take serious measures to contain any threats from these people.
Again, national security can be compromised for any one. National sovereignty with peace and security are the important pillars as an independent nation. We as the people have huge responsibilities to hold on these pillars.
