Anwar Ibrahim
Was ISA used against Anwar Ibrahim? Soon after his arrest, he was charged in court and was later sentenced, so it shouldn't be considered as detained under ISA, right? --Vsion 09:07, 23 July 2005 (UTC)


 * He was first detained under the ISA for 24 days: http://www.hrw.org/campaigns/malaysia98/anwar-chronology.htm. -- SE

Foreign section - Bush quotes
Note that the foreign section had two quotes, purportedly from President Bush, that were apparently fictional. They lacked any source reference, but anyone who checked the articles at the bottom of page could see that they came from a satire, not a news report. Also, try Googling the quotes -- you won't find them in any real news source. Joannnnnne (talk) 03:11, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Notable uses of the ISA
(1) I've changed the heading of the section from "uses/abuses" to "uses". This avoids POV, particularly as the section does not any sources suggesting the ISA is "abused" as opposed to "used" (some sources might exist but they need to be cited).

(2) I've citation-tagged many of the claims in the section. Some of the factual claims about detention need to be sourced. Some claims appear to be POV. If left uncited, they should be deleted (especially the POV claims). --Mkativerata (talk) 20:55, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
