PUTRAJAYA, Feb 10 – Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said today there are no plans now to use the Internal Security Act (ISA) against DAP chairman Karpal Singh.
He said, however, that a investigation against Karpal Singh had started.
"When the investigation is completed, the report will be submitted to the Attorney-General for whatever action he deems fit," the prime minsiter told reporters when asked to comment on calls from various parties for immediate action to be taken against Karpal Singh, including under the ISA, to maintain public peace in the country.
Karpal Singh had warned those who lodged police reports against him for wanting to sue the Sultan of Perak to be ready to face the consequences.
Asked whether action would be taken against Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin for refusing to vacate the menteri besar's office and official residence, Abdullah said it was not necessary because Nizar had been advised to do so.
He believed that Nizar would leave finally and not take too long doing it because the state government had repeatedly reminded him to vacate the premises following the appointment of a new menteri besar. – Bernama
