(The Straits Times) KUALA LUMPUR - THE wife of Malaysia's top anti-government blogger says police have arrested him under a law allowing indefinite detention without trial.

Online commentator Raja Petra Raja Kamarudin has increasingly infuriated authorities by publishing numerous claims about alleged wrongdoings by government leaders on his popular site, Malaysia Today.

The government has denounced most of Raja Petra's allegations as lies.

Raja Petra's wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, said police came to their home on Friday to serve an arrest warrant on him.

Mdm Marina said police informed them he was being arrested under the Internal Security Act, a widely criticised law used against suspects regarded as national security threats.

Government and police officials could not immediately be contacted. -- AP

How about Berita Harian? Didn't they publish seditious statements regarding the Azan issue which turned out to be false? Why not give this racist UMNO controlled newspaper show cause letters too? ABOLISH ISA! FREE RPK!

Btw, we can all thank our great leader Mahathir for the use of this ISA tactic to silence the rakyat!!!!!

The feeling is the same, the air around us also begins to smell the same....is it Operation Lallang 2? Times have changed! I hope it is not an act of desperation on the part of government. The results may not be the same this time!

The articles published in MT must be real for the UMNO government to have to use the ISA in an attempt to silence the TRUTH.

If lies & deceit are published, then the courts can be used to sue, no need ISA.

Okay. So Umno won't go down without drawing blood... they've got their bald-headed bull mastiff snapping and biting at anybody attempting to serve them their walking orders... well, this is a case for the Incurable Dr M! He's the Marmark whose megalomania contaminated the entire edifice of government and turned Umno into a den of thieves, liars and backstabbers. Let him rejoin Umno and destroy the party oncer and for all!

As for Pete... I feel he was well prepared this time. His arrest under the ISA is aufficient cause for the Royals to accept the formation of a new government as soon as 44 MPs crossover from BN.

I predict the ISA will be abolished and all political prisoners released two days after Pakatan Rakyat takes over Putrajaya with Anwar as PM.

Always remember in Prayer. RPK is always know what to do when he mingles with Azilah, Sirul and Razak in Sungai Buloh. The more frequent he got caught the more issue arise.
