So finally Samy decided to speak up for HINDRAF 5. Apparently, he will be meeting Mr Big Ears to discuss on this. No, it is not a publicity stunt according to him. He only did it because families of Manoharan and R Kengadharan had approached him for assistance (UPDATE @ 31/3/08: Turns out to be false according to Mrs Manoharan). As quoted by Malaysiakini today,
"Because they made an approach, I will talk to the PM (about securing their freedom)," he said, adding, "We also don't want them to be kept inside.
"The government has to make a decision. Kenghadharan is very sick, Manoharan is an elected member. So I think it is quite reasonable. I am going to ask PM (to release them) and meet the Internal Security Minister (Syed Hamid Syed Albar).
"I made some moves on this earlier, but I didn't tell anybody. I will now make a very strong move to see what can be done," he added.
He further spoke on why this is motivated based on "fairness".
...he said: "At the same time, we feel that as Indians, we have to do something about this."
Yawn! That's how I feel too for a has been...

How compassionate of him isn't it? He even justified his "aid" by evoking humanitarian and racial familiarity as amongst the points he argued for their release. Yet, his help is limited mind you, one must approach him first. Nevermind that the whole concept of detention without trial is repugnant, to him it matters more because apparently he was approached for help. I wonder what will he say if he remembers what he told the crowd which gathered in Prai on 16 February 2008 about these people being criminals (Uncle Kit's comment here). I guess the concept of right and wrong has to take a back seat on this one.

Samy, if you really want to be fair, why don't you also approach Mr Big Ears to free all ISA detainees and initiate the repudiation of ISA? I am sure you will go down in history as the one who plays a big role in getting this administration to do the right thing for a change by repelling ISA. You will not only receive the immense gratitude from the ISA detainees as well as their families and friends but win praises from the rakyat.
But then again, no one approach you on that huh?
