KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) — Singaporean militant Mas Selamat bin Kastari, who was captured in Malaysia last month, has been detained under security laws for a two-year term, the prime minister said Wednesday.
Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed reports that the 48-year-old Islamic militant had been detained under Malaysia's Internal Security Act (ISA) which allows for indefinite detention without trial.
"This is Malaysia's decision. He is a threat to Malaysia's security, that is why he has been detained. Obviously he's a threat to Singapore and Malaysia," he told a press conference.
