ISA is the primary piece of anti-terror legislation being enforced in Malaysia, under which an individual can be held for upto 60 days without a warrant or recourse to trial or access to legal counsel, merely on the basis of suspicion. After the 60 day period ends, the detainee’s case is referred to the Home Secretary who can extend the detention period for two more years which is then renewable indefinitely.
