Tan Hoon Cheng been released. I can sense that the government is trying to send a strong message to all journalist to be careful in the future not to simply write down any sentence or words that may create chaos.
Tan Hoon Cheng also didn't realise that her merely reports about Datuk Ahmad Ismail speech can create this kind of chaos. She is not looking for any promotions. She just merely doing her jobs.
The question now is when Tan Hoon Cheng being detained, why the police have to use and enforce the Internal Security Act to arrest her ? Why don't just tell her " follow us to the police station because we need to record some statement ?"
Why hold her not even 24 hours the Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar says that Sin Chew Daily senior reporter Tan Hoon Cheng may be released from the police Internal Security Act detention as early as today ?
Why Datuk Ahmad Ismail has not been detained or arrested under ISA ? He is the main factors or actors around this hoo-haa situation. If he is willing to say "SORRY", this arrested thing might not happen in the first place.
The facts that the detention of Tan Hoon Cheng is merely a signal to send a very STRONG MESSAGE to all the journalist in MALAYSIA to be careful when they want to pen down their articles.
