When all things fail, there is THE ISA, says Zorro Unmasked.

Raja Petra Kamaruddin is detained under ISA at an undisclosed location. Please come to Kelana Jaya Stadium 8 p.m. September 15, 2008 to show solidarity for RPK’. Show your support for this blogger giant and web-master of www.malaysia-today. net, who took on the establishment in the name of Justice, Freedom and Democracy.

When Anwar was sent to goal in Sungai Buloh by the then Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad in 1998, he launched the Free Anwar Campaign. Now, it is time that we start a Free Raja Petra Movement.

This September 15 meet will hopefully result in a nation wide campaign to Free Raja Petra and the not to be forgotten others who are now under ISA detention. I also appeal to Amnesty International and Journalists Without Borders, and other Human Rights Organisations around the world for their support and cooperation.

My Fellow Malaysians, we cannot be indifferent anymore. But in showing our concern, let us keep the peace and deny the present Badawi government, which is under siege of their own making, the chance to declare a state of emergency in order to save itself. Let us do whatever we can for Mdm Marina Petra and her children as they once again have to go through the ordeal.—Din Merican

I fully endorse what Din Merican says - let us not bite the bait the govt. is dangling in front of us. Whilst showing support for RPK and others detained under the ISA let us not resort to violence thereby giving the authorities the excuse to impose Emergency Rule thereby scuppering Anwar's bid to topple the govt. Reserve our anger for the polls when Anwar calls for elections after he has toppled the govt. Meantime let us remember RPK's family and lend them whatever support they may need at this dark time in their lives, and in the history of Malaysia.

I also agree with Din Merican. Let us be calm.

All along, Umno has been using ISA against those whom Umno sees as a threat to the party, not to national security.

We must fight against Umno at all cost in the next polls.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that someone who is critical of BN and its certain leaders are finally arrested under ISA. In fact, I've been wondering what took them so long.

Perhaps they thought that they could do a few things like press false charges to slow Anwar down, or curb certain website using a misguided interpretation of the Multimedia Act, or continued lording over the Judiciary, Police, ACA, AG's Chambers and the Election Commission to do the dirty job for them. My guess is they have finally woken up to the fact that those measures have failed.

In the next few days, they will possibly be arresting more key opposition politicians under ISA - they have nothing to lose now by doing so.

All I hope is the opposition has a plan. The plan should preferably involve many second tier leaders who can immediately take up the mantle and bring to bear extremely heavy political pressure, both domestically, as well as internationally, upon the UMNO-BN government, including withdrawal of billions of ringgit of investment from the country.

There is simply no turning back. BN is simply beyond redemption and it's time for Malaysians to rest the hopes in their future with what may seem a disparate coalition, but nonetheless one that offers the best hope for professionalism, integrity and openess.
