BIDOR: The Perak government wants to get rid of the Kamunting detention centre from the state. State executive councillor A. Sivanesan said he would look into the legal avenues and land legislation to see how the Pakatan Rakyat-led state could reclaim the land alienated to the Federal Government to build the camp.
The state would look into the Land Acquisition Act to see how it could order the Barisan Nasional Government to move the camp out.
Sivanesan suggested the detention centre be relocated to Barisan Nasional strongholds such as Pahang or Johor.
“Pakatan is against the Internal Security Act (ISA) and the camp is in Kamunting, Taiping, Perak.
“If they (Barisan) are not going to abolish the ISA, then move out the camp and give us back the land,” he said Sunday after meeting orang asli (aborigines) at Kampung Chang Sungai Gepai, about 70km from Ipoh.
However, Sivanesan said he had yet to bring up the idea at the weekly state executive council meeting. - thestar
