'Ghazali-isms' — 'Once and for all Cleanup'

In desperation to suppress the dissentment, the Malaysian Government used various methods such as threats of withdrawing scholarships and reducing university funds. The 'kill' came from the Home Affairs Minister's 'Once and for all cleanup'. Most of the student leaders and four lecturers were detained under the notorious Internal Security Act. Even an American lecturer in the University of Malaya's law faculty was deported for his support to the students.
