Remember May 13. The government is trying to use the same methods to make people angry so that if we all take to the streets to protest, it will basically give them a free ticket to arrest more people. So we must be clear on what NOT to do. Let's not fall into their trap.

I am being told many political party leaders are now talking about what is proper to say in public, so when commenting please exercise the same restraint.

Next, we also need to know that RPK has not associated himself to any power or position. He is just like you and me except that he means well, can swear better and can talk louder. So, there is NOTHING for the government to gain by arresting him except to perpetuate their rule and to create the emotions to help them stay in control.

People are not stupid or ignorant anymore. Today, we have the internet and mobile phones. We can always alert each other on the progress. Unlike 1969, when you are thirsty for news, you may get angry and you would go to the streets. Not today.

So stay tuned to the developments as we bring them to you. But please stay cool, keep properly informed and do not over-react.

RPK is not anti govenment, he is ANTI anti-justice be it any government.

Yes DO NOT take to the streets. Show the world we are against injustice, against violence, against racism, against corruption.

Let's show solidarity for YM RPK.

I must admit I am one who was very confused on whether its right to change government the way DSAI is going about. I think in certain ways it was abit unethical and unfair for voters.

But on hearing the RPK being held by ISA, I cleanse myself of my doubt on this move. We have lost all sense of direction, all sense of logic, all confidence in our economy and all sense of respect people have for us as MALAYSIANs.

While many may label DSAI as unethical today, i believe in the near future, history will remember him as its saviour and RPK as the beacon of light in our spirit of nationalism.

Recently I saw this movie which I think is titled P.S. I Love You, here this guy who loves his wife very much dies, before his death he wrote many letters to his wife which he gave away to his mum-in-law to post to her at set times. His mum-in-law does what he wished and the wife gets the letters and the movie moves on.

I trust RPK seen this movie and done the same, written his articles and left them to be posted at set intervals on MT for us his MT readers ). Even if his personal liberty has been taken away, hope we can still hear his ‘voice’ coming to us via MT. RPK - God Bless you and my prayers are with you

Dear Bro' Labisman and Super Admin et al,

Thanks for everything. We are indeed infuriated but as I have said in my earlier comment, taking to the streets is indeed the old way. That's something which the conniving perpetrators of this dastardly act want us to do.

There will be many more baits thrown at us. Just don't bite it. This time around, strategies and tactical measures should prevail.

Please keep us updated on the latest developments and if there is anything that we could do for Pn. Marina and family, in the mean time, just say the word, and we will immediately comply. Thanks again all. This is indeed one dark Friday the 12th.

There should be no bloodshed and loss of life. And ask the Malays in the opposition to come out in defence of their non-Malay brothers and sisters and warn the Umno Malays, in no uncertain terms, that they take to the streets at the risk of facing fellow Malays from the opposition who will defend their non-Malay brethren to the last drop of their blood. I, for one, am ready to stand by my Chinese and Indian comrades. So let Umno be warned.

We are Malaysian 1’st above everything; if we talking about nationalism. We can call our self as Malaysian Indian, Malaysian Chinese, Malaysian Malay, Malaysian Punjabi, Malaysian Khadazan & etc. That’s mean our race is considered 2nd. Finally we are Malaysian Indian Hindu, Malaysian Indian Christian, Malaysian Indian Muslim, Malaysian Indian Buddhist ( you think Indian are just Hindu? Are you stupid or what), Malaysian Chinese Buddhist, Malaysian Chinese Christian, Malaysian Chinese Hindu, Malaysian Chinese Muslim (oh yea, you think Chinese are not Muslim, all Chinese ‘makan babi’ only? You must be really stupid to be a Malaysian, you must be one of the BN), Malaysian Malay Muslim, Malaysian Malay non-Muslim (Oh yea, too many of this group, who carry the haram food & drinks everyday besides practicing their chosen religion & I’m not talking about the true Malaysian from Sabah Sarawak) & Malaysian etc etc… Finally our religion or practicing believe in God comes at 3rd place. So we are Malaysian FIRST! That’s the POINT we are accepting.

RPK has been a true Malaysian who got guts like a real MAN! He has been the voice for us, true Malaysian. Now he has been detained fighting for our rights and believes. We Malaysian, if we truly believe we are MALAYSIAN then we need to show what we are and what we can be as a TRUE MALAYSIAN.

At the gathering on 15th September 2008, everyone must be vigilant and must be on the alert for trouble makers being planted into the gathering to cause trouble/chaos in order that Emergency could be imposed and at the same time, blame PKR for causing it.

Should anything (even minor incidences) happens, all supporters within the vicinity of the problem must work together to extinguish the incidences and identify the culprits (nib the problem at the bud) - without violence - when there are enough supporters acting as passive barriers isolating the incidences, nothing untowards will come out of it! Use video cameras and cameras discretely to record any untowards events.

Crowd control must be a priority. Don't ever get emotional with taunts and racist remarks and don't provoke!

Let's all stand together as ONE - Malays, Chinese, Indians, Dayaks, Kadazans and all other races that Malaysia is so wonderfully endowed with.

DEAR MT TEAM....

I TOTALLY AGREE.... first no sensitive issue in our comments, instead, lets use our brains to find ways and means to change govt, put Anwar in power.

Does not matter if they UMNO sees our suggestion here....we find ways they cant do nothing about.

ONE... we research quietly where the BN UMNO bisnesses are, tell the masses and boycot them. It saves us money.

Two.. WHISPER campaign.... make sure by election at Pensiangan seat in Sabah will go to PKR, that will create an avalanche of lack of confidence in BN.

Pls understand the voters at this former KURUPan seat are poor villagers and they can easily be bought to vote dacing for RM50.00
So we whisper campaign to them. NO HARM TO TAKE MONEY. It is halal, cos the money are their hard earned taxes anyway. TAKE BN MONEY AND VOTE FOR PKR.

THREE. Me and others will produce lots of videos at U tube. Just search for Anti BN headings... DOWNLOAD THEM, ask your kids to burn them on CDs and show them at kampung. These days DVD players only cost less than rm200, and tv or laptop cost less than RM1500 to play. We use these small gadgets to show the masses our messages.

FOUR... you guys continue to produce more ideas...

FIVE.... BOYCOTT BN function. Stay at home. That wont get U arrested. In fact it will save your time, money, petrol.... Go and do some farming in your pots and backyards instead... good exercise....

Thanks for the timely advise MT Team and thanks for a job well done. I believe the UMNO dogs are using RPK to agravate the rakyats feelings as they know he has got millions of supporters hoping that we will take to the streets and they can use that as a good excuse to have emergency rule, in order to stop Anwar from taking over the goverment. Just look at the dates. They did it on purpose as they thought if today friday they arrest RPK, people will have demonstrations over the weekend and they already have their paid dogs to join the demonstrations and create trouble and violence. Then they will send in army just in time to stop Anwar on the 16th. They are such dirty dogs.

They are playing dirty as they know if they Arrest Anwar himself, it will be very clear they did it to stop him from taking over. So they are doing it another way using RPK.

Our Prayer for YM Raja Petra Kamarudin

To our RPK, so brave and so true
Our love and our prayers go out to you
As you make the journey to protect our great land
We pray you reach out and take hold of GOD’s hand

As we humbly bow before the throne of grace
We pray for your protection, in all that you may face
We ask GOD to give you great strength to endure
To keep you safe from all harm, this we ask Him to assure

When you feel alone and maybe have a moment of fear
Seek solace in your GOD, for He is always near
When you feel sad and so far from the ones that you love
Look into your heart for their memory to grasp hold of

We will wait for the day when you will come home
Until then always remember that you are never alone
We pray that you will always feel GOD by your side
To know that you can trust in Him and in Him you can abide

GOD bless you dear RPK, sending this love and prayer to you from us all
As you go forth to protect us, in our hearts you stand so tall
We thank you and salute you as you give your utmost
We say this prayer for you, for it is in GOD that we trust

Arrest of Sin Chew's reporter? You've got to be kidding me. At least give her 3 years suspension and ISA for Ahmad, at least that makes more sense. Use of force, being unreasonable and induce fear, that's what they want.

Too bad, they are dealing with a different generation now and WE ARE NOT AFRAID! May UMNO be flushed down the toilet this time. Remember, it is UMNO that is afraid, they are ALREADY given a thumbs now by rakyet earlier this year, they are so afraid of Pakatan Rakyat they they need to send them offshore.

Stay calm, stay firm and stay sharp.

The UMNO racist people have not learn that they will never be able to suppress people's yearn for justice.

The UMNO racist people have not learn that they will be unable to control people.

The UMNO racist people will fall from grace and rot in hell.

The beginning of the end is starting now for UMNO.

umno sudah jadi gila.
When umno have no solutions the only solution is use the ISA.
umno sudah jadi gila.
Umno is doing all this just to clings on to power , to protect their own corruption and to cover up the Altantuya and VK lingam scandal.
umno sudah mabuk kuasa.
This is not really a bad sign , this will convinces more people from Sabah and Sarawak to really thinks harder for a change.
Koh tsu koon now do you know what we are talking about here?
Its not too late Gerakan and Mca or do you prefers to be a dog forever?

Stay calm. Yes, stay calm everybody. Control your emotions and anger. Do not loose your cool. Do not go to the streets. Do not act irrationally. Stay firm and focussed. Our leaders will think of the democratic ways to achieve true and fair justice in due course.

This just shows UMNO is getting desperate. Stay cool everyone. They are trying to incite us, that way they can declare "darurat" so that they can haul even more people off, and say "see, we are right!". Don't get suckered by this bait.

I totally agree with this approach. Hence, please clarify whether the gathering scheduled for Sept 15 at the Kelana Jaya Stadium is still on. Many of us will be there with members of our family, and we naturally do not want our family members slaughtered. No one can tell what is on the minds of the hooligans !!!

Are the component parties in BN no conscience at all? This is the time to break out from one rotten apple... the rot already set in.. Shelf life max is 4 years left at the rate you get contaminated! Simply cannot believe one would resort to a game plan already executed in the past which does not benefit any long term benefit

I thoroughly agree with Bloodhound, fairnessforall, lamakawan and other wise commentors to exercise restraint and not to hit the streets during this period.

The ruling party is desperately clinging on to power and they are aware that their days are numbered. Desperate people will call for desperate measures.
All it takes is a small number of crazy idiots to fan up racial provocations. It can be an isolated small incident. Bigots like Toyo is fanning up the emotions and ignorant folks like the Mat rempits will be used as agents. This can happen anywhere and in any place.

Many of us will have well meaning intentions to show our support publicly. The evil party knows this and will capitalize on this to create havoc and declare an emergency.

The Kelana Gathering on the 15th tomorrow is one BIG ( and possibly last chance to incite this) event and opportunity for something untoward to happen. Frankly I feel it is fraught will danger.

These are the precautionary measures I can think of which should be instituted:

1) PR to place sufficient "unit amal" folks in strategic spots amongst the crowd.
2) PR supporters and participants must be especially vigilant and alert to sneaky and questionable looking individuals who have been planted to create disturbance.
3) Don't bring children for safety reasons
4) PR leaders must remind audience to remain calm and peaceful at ALL times
5) Set up " Reporting Centres manned by Unit amal folks" in strategic locations for participants to report any provocations or incidences. Do not take it upon yourselves to question or retaliate.

Frankly, the best is not to hold this gathering but then we cannot hold back the day of reckoning. God bless you all and lets pray truth and justice will prevail over our beloved country!!
