Dear all,
Leaset we forget, please re-visit "High Stakes poker game or gunfight at the OK Corral?" and re-read some of our brother Raja Petra's parting words:

"Yes, I too have placed, not only my money, but also my freedom on Anwar. And if Anwar fails to deliver his promise on 16 September 2008, not only he but I as well am headed for a fall...."

So, all those pledges and all those courages words to bro RPK in that thread...are they to be followed through at his hour of need??

Dear Marina,

You have set a good example to all who love RPK. You have allowed the enemies to bring the best out of you, not the worst. You are redirecting your energies through faith and prayer. We can see this best in you as God created all of us.

We can choose to control our enemies by bringing out the best in us instead of sinning in anger and frustration. Instead of justifying the crude language and cursing and hate, we choose to bless our enemies and pray to God that they will return to their good senses and do something positive for a change. Or we can choose to knock on SH or PM door and bless him with yellow roses? We pray he will be touched by God.

Let us not be demoralized but instead continue to pray in faith God will deliver RPK. Love your enemies. Revenge is never fulfilling. Lord, we pray that we live lives that can overcome persecutions and pleasing to You. Help us to live peacefully, be peace makers and break any attempts to create chaos and dictatorship through the love You first gave us. Teach us to share this love with others to break all sins of the flesh that we may evermore dwell in You and You in us. Amen

We need to DSAI some time because there is no Parliment sitting now, no confidence vote in Parliment is the first step, so I don't see any reason pushing DSAI, again Bawadi is not willing for a emegency meeting. Ofcourse no one will give up easily, unless there is a snap election. I have some strong feeling that they will release RPK not later than 60 days. Lets keep pushing.

Our heartfelt sympathy with you and your family. This is real kejam and very cruel for someone to put RPK in Kamunting without looking himself in the mirror.

I may sound crude but in my heart, I have prayed that the conspirators will suffer heart attacks or strokes themselves every night, if it takes that to cure all the wrongs they have done. If sensible appeal and outcry does not changed the hearts of these cruel conspirators, I guess cursing them is forgiveable by God or maybe God will punish them in his own ways. The more bad karma we give to these conspirators, I think they will get their punishments somehow.

Sorry if Anwar can not help now then we have to have an alternative plan of action to free RPK. Remember when Anwar said he has a number of PKR parliments seats to choose from for a re-entry to Parliment.

What better time is now then to have one of the opposition MP resign his or her seat and force a by-election. This way we can see if they are willing to help and payback the support RPK has given to the opposition parties. Get RPK to stand as a Independent or a PR candidate supported by all PR parties. He should not stand for PKR , DAP , PAS ,or PS but as a apolitical candidate. support his and make sure the BN candidate looses his or her deposit. This will remind BN how unpopular they are.

The ball is now in PR’s court and what do you all say

No, I am not a deviant or a blasphemous Muslim of the worst kind. It is those in government who are. And I will uphold the true Islam and oppose these deviants till my last breath and the last drop of my blood.

Sure, punish me with laws that Islam forbids. Today, I will face you in a kangaroo court to face punishment under laws that Islam forbids. Tomorrow, I will be the witness in God’s court where you will then face trial for violating God’s laws. In God’s court, I will be assured justice denied me now. And the punishment you receive in God’s court will be many times worse than what you can do to me in this world.

And God will determine if I am a deviant and a blasphemous Muslim of the worst kind. That is not for you to say. God never appointed you His assistant here on earth. Instead, God said He knows what is in our hearts and only He will know.

For the first time, i felt disappointed and sad with PKR and DSAI. What are they doing? Someone who has helped so much in their campaign is facing jail without trial, and what are they prepare to do to return the favour? Of course i know Pet is not asking for any favour or whatsoever, but at least this bunch of people who called themselves the Pakatan Rakyat or the new symbol of hope for Malaysia should do something. Right now, Pet is in Jail, you hear me? IN JAIL!!!! When you are enjoying your cuppa or nice meals, Pet is in Jail!!!! Look again, PET IS IN JAIL!!!!

Maybe they have something up on their sleeves, but that's not the point now. We all say UMNO/BN always like to "wayang kulit", now im starting to see whether PKR is the same too. How sad.........

Just can't help cursing those syaitans who pretend to be holy in our country who have never had the rakyats in their hearts but only for their own selfish interest. Can't hoping that God will punish them severely especially when these atrocities are committed during the holy month of Ramadan. Can't help thinking that the best way to hurt these people is having bad things happening to their loved ones as well, especially their children. No other things will hurt them more than this, not even if they themselves suffer a heart attack as mentioned by Maggie. God, please give us justice soon.

Dear Marina,

I saw you in TV last nite with your hand tightly gripped to your daughter, both in tears! As a man, I withheld my tear drops but they all ran deep into my heart, my heart is bleeding and weeping!

My sentiment is so complex and I am extremely angry and sad when came to know of the lousy news that the Botak bugger signed for the exile of our Hero to Kemunting! I was so furious and beyond my belief that Abdullah Bodohwi with his urbane outlook in disguise is such a brutal and inhuman animal-like hypocrite, I used to listen to his speech that he's a loving husband and he's going to be a loving father to all the rakyat! And now, we see the way he proved his compassion, the way he deals with RPK is nothing more than a pirate who put a victim under gun point and forces him to jump into the choppy sea! It's an act of manslaughter particularly sending RPK to the hell-like detention camp where there are religious extremists held captive thereof! RPK's health and life will be seriously endangered! Even a junta in Myanma might only send Aungsan Suki to house custody and this inhumane AAB has proven himself more worst than a junta to treat his freedom fighter subject RPK in such a way depriving him of all his human rights, whence, even the animals have their animal rights!!.....I condemn AAB Government and pray for their early collapse! I pray for an early release of RPK and appeal to the Almighty to bring RPK back home soonest possible! I hope Marina and the family will stay die-hard and strong as ever! God Bless YOU the strong lady and RPK!

I just can't imagine how Syed albar can come to the conclusion that RPK did Islam wrong. BTW did the IO from the police ever comprehensively read and understood all the articles RPK wrote? In the first place, does the IO understand the level of English RPK uses in his writings?

Does Syed ever read any or all of RPK's writings from the first word to the last word and understand its contents without defect?

I remeber a CEO of the state of Selangor who declare to all and sundry that he could not understand English when arrested by the Immigration of Australia for carry currency into Australia.

Again I am doubting the level of English comprehension of the police and Syed's ministry. Why?

If the CEO of the state of Selangor cannot understand English comprehensively how can lesser beings do?

Something is very wrong here! Either the people in power misunderstood what they read or they don't read at all... therefore wrong imprisonment of RPK.

Go and read all his articles and Free PETE NOW!

Not Hamid Albar alone would like to see Pete detained indefinitely... Najib, for one, would do anything to stop RPK from appearing in court with stacks of embarrassing and incriminating evidence. And all the cops under Musa Hassan whose ties with the Chinese crime syndicates were exposed by RPK would tremble at the prospect being properly investigated and charged. RPK's allegations are extremely serious and some people think they can escape justice by incarcerating the whistle-blower. Were they able to block Malaysia Today? Were they able to stop Anwar from winning big at Permatang Pauh? Are they able to withstand the final tsunami of public disgust? I resolve to see RPK released - along with all other political detainees - and the ISA abolished along with the Umno/BN era.

A FEARLESS PATRIOT IN OUR MIDST


After reading at length Haris Ibrahim’s take on whether we, the readers & commentators of Malaysia Today, have misrepresented ourselves to our beloved RPK, and having done much soul searching, my conclusion is spelt out below.

Raja Petra Kamaruddin being Raja Petra Kamaruddin would have continued with his crusade against Injustice, Inequality, Corruption, Abuse of Power, and Cover-Ups by the Powers-that-be, and his fight for Free Speech, Civil Rights, the Poor, the Down-Trodden, and those too weak to defend themselves, whether or not anyone encouraged or “egged” him on or not.

That is the power of FAITH of a True Muslim who holds fast to his Islamic Principles, and a MAN who fears nothing, and answers to no one, but God. That describes Pete’s character in a nutshell pretty succinctly. He speaks out against the people in power fearlessly, knowing full well these unprincipled beasts dressed in human clothing would retaliate using all the arsenal at their disposal, including the Devil’s own invention, the Internal Security Act, which has no place in a Democratic country and in Civil Society, as it gives Dictatorial Power to these unprincipled animals to Abuse and incarcerate Upright and Outstanding Citizens like Raja Petra Kamaruddin who poses no security threat to anyone, let alone the country.

This travesty of Justice as used by Syed Hamid Albar and his Ministry’s minions, the Special Branch, called the ISA, must be repealed IMMEDIATELY and ALL detainees under the ISA should be either freed, or charged in court under due legal process. No one in a democratic country like what Malaysia professes to be, should be subjected to abuse under the ISA where any citizen can be detained without charges just by the police, or some dictatorial Minister or even Prime Minister, at their mercy. This is a blatant travesty of Justice.

Enough digression on the ISA issue. This is about our FOLK HERO, Raja Petra, after all. It is people like Pete, who is the conscience of Malaysia and Malaysian society, who keep our faith in humanity intact. No doubt, he must have experienced some disappointment at not achieving the number of petitioners for both the Agong’s petition and the Free RPK and other ISA detainees’ petition, but that would not have stopped him in his Noble Quest of walking the straight and narrow path of TRUTH, and the expression of it.

In Pakistan, the people would have come out in droves, on the streets, to defend their democratic rights to freedom and an independent Judiciary, but these are people who dared to secede from a country based on their religious beliefs, and form their own country. Not so Malaysians who are mainly immigrants from Indonesia, China, and India, who either ran away from hardship at home, or from despotic governments. Malaysians are not built the same way as Pakistanis or Bangladeshis, or others who have stayed and fought for their rights.

These Malaysians are peace-loving middle class types who just want to make a decent enough living for their families and don’t like suffering any type of hardships. Recently, this has been threatened by the massive corruption that going on in Malaysia and the huge increase in the cost of living. Suddenly, their middle-class world came crashing down like a house of cards, and that is when the Tsunami of March 8th 2008 happened, and the Permatang Pauh by-election underlined the feelings of the common Malaysian.

Voting anonymously and having no fear of direct repercussions emboldens even cowards to come forward and be counted, literally, and this was reflected in the two polls, at the GE and at the PP by-election.

Cont'd ..

But to get these same people to come out with their names and IC numbers, or even their names and email addresses, to back these most worthy petitions was probably too much to expect. These same people would bypass Govt. blocks to read Malaysia Today, and to comment under pseudonyms, but would not jeopardize their “rice bowl” of their families by risking being identified by the authorities and the government of the day, and put out to pasture prematurely. These same people who vociferously support Raja Petra and Malaysia Today cannot be trusted upon to stand forth and be counted when the chips are down.

As statistics show, only 26,000 or so have the guts to put their signatures and names where their mouths were and are, out of 1,000,000 plus Malaysia Today readers, and that is the sorry state of Malaysia and Malaysians, today! As Zaid Ibrahim pointed out at the court house on the 23rd Sept. at Pete’s transfer to Kamunting when our sorry excuse of a Home Minister signed those papers for the transfer, Malaysia sorely needs more people like Raja Petra, who dare to speak up and speak out. However, these same people who have done nothing to jeopardize their rice bowls, will be more than willing to be heard and make their presence felt at the next GE. They just have no stomachs for suffering or even the possibility of suffering for themselves and their families, by disclosing their identities and standing proudly for what they secretly believe in, in petitions, or demonstrations.

We have to live with this Malaysian psyche, like it or not, though the younger generation has shown much more guts, and become more vocal in Malaysian society. The future looks much brighter with the enlightened youth of today, and much of the thanks have to go to Raja Petra, and people like him, who have stood Unwaveringly for their principles and the TRUTH, to enlighten all Malaysians and foreigners to what is actually happening in Malaysia.

Raja Petra is a True Son of Malaysia and a Malaysian Patriot that all Malaysians can be proud of, whether or not they agree with his views. He stands for what he believes in, and is willing to go to jail under the Draconian ISA for what he stands for. A Towering Malaysian for our younger generation to emulate, and aye, even for the older generation, too, and especially those who only find their guts when the elections come round.

If I were part of Raja Petra’s family, I would hold my head up HIGH and be the proudest person in the world to have a patriarch like Raja Petra, and to have the opportunity to support him through all his challenges. We are in a way Raja Petra’s extended family and I would ask that we do what we can to help free Raja Petra from the clutches of the Devil, the ISA, by proactively signing the petition to free him. Throw your caution to the winds and sign. Whatever your religion, do you believe that we are here on Earth just to live for four score years and die for nothing?? Let us do something that is Right and Good, so that at the end of our four score years on Earth, we have something to show our Maker. Here is the petition address http://www.petitiononline.com/...ition.html

Just SIGN IT ! Only your email address is needed. Go and register a new one for this if you must, but sign it, and get your family members to sign it as well as your friends. For the sake of our Patriot & Towering Malaysian, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, let him be FREE and walk in our midst once more.
