Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow also warned that the Internal Security Act (ISA) could be invoked if national security was put at stake. But it would be the last resort. He said the Government placed national security and public order above all other concerns. &quot;If a public rally is seen to cause disruption, then the right to public safety overrides that of individuals who take part in the rally. &quot;Priority will be given to maintaining public order,&quot; he told reporters after meeting people in the Tanjung Lumpur constituency at Sungai Isap Damai here yesterday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n Fu was commenting on the gathering planned by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) today. Fu, who is also Kuantan MP, noted that there were those who had their own agenda when backing a public rally. &quot;The impression that they are hoping to paint is that the Government does not give opportunity to people to express their views. &quot;It may be their agenda, especially now as the general election is near,&quot; he added. Fu also said there were many channels in the country to express one&#39;s view, adding it could even be done by two or three people submitting a memorandum. &quot;You do not need a rally to do that. &quot;One can say that it will be a peaceful rally but how can you guarantee that?&quot; he asked.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fu: Government may use ISA as a last resort source KUANTAN: Don&#39;t try to be a hero and politicise issues at illegal rallies as stern action will be taken against those who incite ill will and hostility.
