Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad may resort to the Internal Security Act (ISA) in order to sustain him and his government in power but as an experienced politician who has been in politics for aeons, he must surely know that it is impossible to kill the spirits and the will of the people.

I have no doubt Mahathir knows too that he cannot fool all the people all the time. That is why he had no choice but to use the full might of the state to suppress a popular grievance against his regime. All things must come to an end, Dr Mahathir.
