On 30 May 2001, in an unusual and courageous ruling, Judge Hishamuddin Yunus ordered the release of two ISA detainees on a writ of habeas corpus, and suggested that Parliament should review and either scrap or amend the ISA to reduce its potential for abuse.

A judge of the big events

High Court Judge Justice Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus made an unprecedented ruling on Thursday by awarding RM2.5mil to Abdul Malek Hussin, an ex-ISA detainee, for having been wrongfully detained by the police. This is not the first time his judgment has got people talking.

HE IS no new kid on the block. High Court judge Justice Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus who on Thursday awarded an unprecedented RM2.5mil in damages to an ex-ISA detainee for having been unlawfully arrested and beaten up is certainly one of those judges people take notice of.

For one thing, he has presided over a number of high profile and interesting cases. For another, he has made a number of landmark judgments and at times, his comments in court have raised eyebrows in political circles.

Take for example his judgment in May 2001 where he ordered the immediate release of two reformasi activists, N. Gobalakrishan and Abdul Ghani Haroon, who were being detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA). The two had been vocal and had taken part in the wave of reformasi following the sacking of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as deputy prime minister.

Fifty days after their arrests, Justice Hishamudin ruled their detention was unlawful on grounds that there was abuse of power by the detaining authorities and a failure by arresting officers to justify the arrests. He ruled that that there was a premature decision by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and director of Special Branch to detain the two for more than 30 days and that they were 揹eliberately and unreasonably denied

If they want they can also look at the wrongs done to Malaysians back in time before Merdeka, such as those Chinese rubber-tappers in Batang Kali who were massacred by the government security forces -- and many, many more. Let these people too be compensated for crimes worse than getting sacked from their cushy jobs. Lives were lost, and in a very unjust way on top of that, so if compensation is due then let compensation be made. What Malaysia Today is equally concerned about is the ongoing injustice -- injustice that is still being perpetuated and has not ended -- and we demand that these wrongs be put right as well.

Apa yang RPK ni merepekkan? peristiwa 1948 tu pon berlaku sebelum tanah Malaya merdeka lagi, camne nak kata governmenet security forces yang responsible? Gomen mana? British? then gi ler appeal kat British sepetimana ahli keluarga rubber tapper ni dah buat...

Dia tatau ke keluarga mangsa dah buat petition since 90's requested for a reasonable compensation of about
