Which Heads Will Roll ?

Confidence is mounting each day among PKR supporters of Anwar Ibrahim in toppling the BN Government of Abdullah Badawi on 16th September, which is about 2 weeks away. Anwar has declared that upon his elevation as the new premier, he would immediately release all detainees now being incarcerated in detention centres under the Internal Security Act (ISA) which legalizes detention without trial. I would rather urge Anwar to abolish the draconian ISA altogether.

What else ? I think all the group editors, chief editors, and editors of the mainstream media who have served diligently as the mouthpiece of the ruling parties shall have to go unconditionally. Next would be the vice-chancellors or rectors of the public institutes of higher learning who have shown to be working for the ruling party instead of protecting academic freedom in public universities or colleges. What about the chiefs of the Government-Linked Corporations (GLCs) who have been handpicked by a certain minister ? We shall see.

Would we see an early retirement of the Inspector General of Police and the Attorney General when Anwar comes into power ? I hope not.
