To re-examine this significant era, Strategic Information and Research Development Centre (SIRD), Abolish ISA Movement (GMI) and Civil Rights Committee (CRC-KLSCAH) are organising the launch of TWO books by ex-ISA detainees:
• Beyond the Blue Gate: Recollections of a Political Prisoner by Teo Soh Lung
• 445 Days Under The ISA: Operation Lalang, 1987-89 by Dr Kua Kia Soong
During this function, we will have a discussion on the theme “In Retrospect of Operation Lalang-Spectrum: Re-Examination of Malaysia’s & Singapore’s 23 Years of Civil Rights & Social Movement in Post-Operation Lalang-Spectrum Era”. We are honoured to have Teo Soh Lung, Dr Kua Kia Soong and Hishamuddin Rais with us on the panel of speakers.
