With his experience as the ambassador of the country in the United Nations, Razali Ismail has done us proud with his latest quest in liberating Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest.

Though it is still too early to see if she will enjoy total freedom, it is now time for us to look inward and shed some light on the local political oppression. Maybe, Razali with his experience in freeing political prisoners can now strut his stuff and show Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad that he can do the same thing here.

He should free all the political prisoners — starting with ex-deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim and his reformist pals and whoever have been cruelly incarcerated under the "pre-historic" ISA.
