An important conversation was set off this week when the chairman of the Prime Minister’s Advisory Council, former house speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha, called for the dissolution of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc), questioning not only its purpose but its massive and opaque budget and chequered record.
The pointed recommendation was predictably met with assertions, including from the prime minister, that Isoc remains a crucial and effective force for national security.
