KUALA LUMPUR: (Bernama) What happened after the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA) should serve as a lesson to the government today as it considers repealing preventive detention laws such as Sosma, Poca and Pota, said former Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan.

He claimed that after the ISA and Emergency Ordinance (EC) were repealed, it led to "a significant rise in serious crime cases, particularly involving gangs of secret societies fighting for their areas of control."
