34 years after Ops Lalang, still no sincere apology by Dr M - superadmin - 10-27-2021 From Kua Kia Soong Operation Lalang was Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s worst abuse of power during his 23-year rule when he arrested and detained more than a hundred innocent Malaysians without trial under the infamous Internal Security Act (ISA) in 1987. It happened to be his most desperate attempt at clinging to power. It was a time during his term when he was faced with the biggest threat to his rule, with Team B under Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah challenging the results of the Umno elections. A court decision in Team B’s favour would have meant the end of Mahathir’s grasp on power. - More -
