The penalties prescribed for the various offences created under the ISA range from the payment of a fine and/or one year imprisonment for wearing a prohibited uniform, dress or emblem210 to death for attempting or succeeding to supply fire-arms, ammunition or explosives for the use by a terrorist.211 Detention Detention without trial and also executive orders restricting the residence of the subject to a designated area that is not his or her normal place of residence is provided for under several statutes designed to promote and preserve internal security and public order (“the security legislation”). The principal Acts in this category are as follows: (a) Internal Security Act 1960 (Act 82) ; (b) Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime Ordinance):No. 5, 1969; (c) Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985 and (d) Restricted Residence Act 1933 – Revised 1989. Section 73 of the ISA empowers arrest and detention of up to and not exceeding sixty days. This period will be utilized by the police to interrogate the detainee with a view to determining whether there is adequate additional material to justify a Ministerial order of detention under Section 8 which will automatically follow if the Minister is satisfied that the further detention of such person (which could be up to two years) is necessary with a view to preventing him or her from acting in any manner prejudicial to the security or economic life of Malaysia or to the maintenance of its essential services. By Section 8(7) the detention may be extended indefinitely for two years at a time on the same or different grounds from that specified in the original detention order. The Police cannot, however, use the original period of detention for the purpose of discovering some basis on which the individual can be detained as the foundation for a section 73 detention must have existed prior to the detention. All visits to detainees under the ISA are closely monitored as provided by Rule 18(5) of the Rules made under the Act. 210 211 Part II, Chapter I, Section 4, Internal Security Act 1960.
