How to show your support to RPK? - 27 Sept PDF Print
Posted by admin   
Wednesday, 24 September 2008 15:32

Dear friends of RPK,

A man who has stood up for truth and justice in Malaysia has now been incarcerated for two years without trial and with no hope for release, save at the pleasure of our Home Minister.

 

The time has come for Malaysians to stand up and be counted; to send a signal both to the authorities that we will not be cowered and that we stand by our man; to send a signal to each other that we are not alone, and to show our strength to one and all.

The time has come to act.

We compile here a number of actions that every Malaysian citizen can do in protest of the ISA, and to express their hope for a better Malaysia. It is imperative in this crucial moment that we keep up the momentum, lest RPK be forgotten like the rest of the ISA detainees.

  1. Fly the Malaysian flag anywhere and everywhere possible (car, house, desk, body)
  2. Drive with your headlights on in the day
  3. Go bald (send pictures to MT Team) [download why-i-go-bald] [Gallery] [Gallery]
  4. Tie a yellow ribbon anywhere and everywhere possible (send pictures to MT Team) [Gallery]

There are a number of other activities that can also be done, all of which will help RPK:

  1. Wear Free RPK T-shirts  or I am with RPK T-shirts  (pre-order now!)
  2. Hold Candlelight vigils (send pictures to MT Team) [Gallery]
  3. Sign online petitions (click here to sign)
  4. Flood the authorities with phone calls, faxes, etc (click here for more details)
  5. Send greeting cards to ISA detainees in Kamunting

notes:

  • email MT Team : admin (dot) mtoday (at) gmail (dot) com
  • postal address of ISA detainess : Tempat Tahanan Perlindungan, 34009 Kamunting, Taiping, Perak MALAYSIA

 

Regards,

MalaysiaToday Team - 28 Sept 2008

 

Attachment:

DOWNLOAD why-i-go-bald

 

Latest Info :

  • We thought we should inform you that only family members and relatives are allowed by the authorities to visit ISA detainees in Kamunting.
  • It has also come to our attention that greeting cards may not reach the detainees in Kamunting, BUT we still need your support to flood Kamunting with all those cards.

Thank you for your continued support for the ongoing campaign to free all prisoners held without trial!

My Indian and Chinese Brothers and Sisters,

For once I speak to you as an Indian, who believes in multiracialism, and deeply love this country, Malaysia!

The time has come that we have to ask ourselves truly today; whether we are really the kind of human-beings that Raja Petra has fought so hard for! Have we forgotten the words spoken by him! If we did, then let us remind each other again:

“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 have to ask ourselves whether we have been vocal enough to voice our concerns for the immediate release of Raja Petra?
We have to ask ourselves whether we too have fallen into the racism trap which has been the hallmark of UMNO members?

We have to ask ourselves, whether we have done enough in getting Raja Petra released?
We have to ask ourselves whether we are really worthy of his defence of our rights?
We have to ask ourselves whether our battle to fight these draconian laws have already stopped?

Let us be worthy to the cause of our struggle! Let us not be branded as Chinese and Indian, who will care only of their own kinds! Let us stand up together and be heard once and for all that we too will fight against any Malay or non- Malay and defend the rights of our Muslim brothers who have been victimized time and again for the noble cause which they have so vehemently championed!
Let us show that we too are made of steel and will fight till the end to bring Raja Petra out of the dungeon of cruelty! Let us all be counted upon!

I think we are getting our priorities screwed up in here. It is NOT important that we show our support for RPK. He knows that very well. What is important is to get him out of ISA by all means.

By sending him cards, wearing T-Shirts, going bald etc. is NOT going to get RPK out of ISA. What is required is to get each of our MP's involved in this. Get them to speak to BN leaders, the infamous Syed Albar and the IGP/Police etc. Tell them that these MP's are representing the Rakyat and if they are not prepared to listen to the Rakyat, they are OUT in the next elections.

Let us be more action oriented than being passive!

PM Badawi, on top of having enough sins you have earned additional sins during the holy month of ramadhan(1429)

You may be a politician, country premier but you have missed one point: Law & Order, don't have respect for Malaysians.

Please its about time you 'pass the baton' to MALAYSIAN CHOICE rather than your choice, which is A BIG DISASTER AHEAD, please return our country to us WE MADE OF ALL RACES.

I have a small proposal.
Could the MT Team organize a way to have public mass shaving of heads and the application of a temporary (say lasting 2 months) tatoo on the shaven head saying "FREE RPK". The people participating will pay, say RM50 for the shave and tatoo. The money after what is due to the barber is paid out can be used towards the RPK Fund. I cannot get the tatoo template because I do not know where to get it and it's not feasible for one person. It makes sense to get it for thousands of men. CAN YOU DO THIS.

If I carry the message on my head, that to me is the best indicator of how i feel. I'm sure many more men will agree.

MT team,

Flooding the streets with supporters wearing RPK T-shirts and caps would be a great idea. This measure will cause widespread interest throughout the nation and will be very much a breaking news sensation - therefore, more free publicity and more awareness nationally and also internationally.

Once the polticians sees seas of RPK supporters, they will note the widespread support that he enjoys. Nothing hurts the politicians more than ongoing bad publicity!

Another spin-off from this measure will be that the proceeds from sales can be used to finance legal expenses and also to assist those families of ISA detainees who are in need of help.

The T-Shirts and Caps can be easily and cheaply posted to any locations within Malaysia and overseas (we have lots of support from overseas). The items needs to be sold at a reasonable profit in order to be able to finance legal expenses and family assistance.

I am quite sure there are lots of supporters who would like to help but are unable to because of distance, timing or commitments. This way, the protest can be ongoing 24hrs/day, 365 days per year national wide and internationally - at minimal cost and fuss and can be done on top of or in conjunction with other more direct measures.

Boycott any open house for this raya. Station a photographer outside to take picture of who go in and publish them here so that we know who is not with us. This way we can put the government people to shame. Imagine the open house by the prime minister without people. How is he going to face the world? Maybe he would not dare to have open house this year after reading this with the excuse of cutting cost.

Please let us know if anything can be organised from abroad. Many Malaysian in Europe are sad with RPK's detention. I suggest that a world wide protest in all major cities across the globe is organised simultaneously to protest RPK's detention. Please set a date and we will try to organise local press to cover the event.

To the PM & Home Minister, the Malaysian in Europe are disgusted with the detention of RPK. We urge for immediate release of RPK and all other ISA detainees.

Indrputra is right! We have to be more effective than this. It’s fine if you want to wear the t-shirt, wear a cap, shave your head bald, hold candlelight vigils, flooding Karmunting with postcards or gather there or, boycott the GLCs (which you really can’t), etc, etc….all of which the authorities can’t be bothered with at all. They don’t give a SHIT what you people do and all I can say is that these are vain and pathetic exercise that may work in the USA but NOT HERE!

We have to be more effective. We have the parliament. That’s where we demand the action. All those voters who voted the BN MPs should go back to them and pressure them. Demand their action in parliament. WE WANT TO HEAR THEIR VOCIES!! They represent us the Rakyat. Why are they keeping quiet and being yes men?? We voted them in. This is grave injustice being done to fellow Malaysians and they are languishing is deplorable conditions in Karmunting. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE OPPOSITION OR DSAI. THIS IS ABOUT THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT OF A FELLOW CITIZEN. IF WE HAVE TO SPILL OURR BLOOD, WE WILL DO IT! What are the MPs doing about this? Flood them with calls daily, harress them the whole day everyday if necessary. Give them hell. Make them wish they are not MPs. THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT. If don’t cant open their mouths and protest and demand change then why have MPs???? Why do we have PARLIAMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE??? Why do we need a GOVERNMENT???? This is the root cause of an armed struggle in some countries. Let it not be here. There are no winners. Just anarchy! It is because the government fails to listen to the people.

Those who voted the BN MPs are guilty of sending fellow Malaysians who are only fighting for a better Malaysia. THAT IS NOT A CRIME! THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS! THEY ARE NOT A THREAT TO OUR NATIONS SECURITY! They are just you and me. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS A THREAT TO THE SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY!

Those who are not registered voters here, go look at yourselves in the mirror. You can’t even exercise your basic responsibility. You could have made a difference in the last elections, BUT YOU DID NOT! Nevertheless your support is still essential at this time….GO GET REGISTERED AS A VOTER NOW! IF ALL ELSE FAILS, WE WILL VOTE THIS GOVERNMENT INTO THE ANNALS OF HISTORY IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS!

BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, hold the MPs responsible. Let us all protest in front of the houses of all the MPs NATIONWIDE! That will wake them up.

By the way, TURNING ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY is a great idea. It will show our Solidarity and we must stand UNITED during this struggle and these difficult times. We owe it to our children and the future of this country.

SharifL, Malaysia is NOT an Islamic state; although Islam is the formal religion due the majority of the population, 60% of the ethnic Malays, are Muslims; but we also have considerable large number of non-Islamic ethnic groups, of 40%, especially the Chinese, Indian and Borneos Kadazan-Murut and Dayak ethnic groups.

Malaysia has always been dictatorial and autocratic since Independence; particularly since that barbaric Mahathir's rule! (he still thinks he's ruling, more so through his rising MP son from the dominant and racial-religious based United Malay National Organization!). Talking about cronysm!

Moreover, Raja Petra (of mixed Welsh heritage - his mother is Welsh) has always been among the bravest human rights activist in Malaysia for a long time; and was jailed by Mahathir in 2001, with Anwar (our potential PM, hopefully soon enough!) under that VIOLENT Internal Security Act!

THUS, EU (UN) PLEASE FREE US MALAYSIANS FROM THESE CONTINOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES - BY FREEZING TRADE AND INVESTIGATING THE GREAT POSSIBILITY OF MASSIVE CORRUPTED-GAINED BANK ACCOUNTS OF THE CURRENT BN/UMNO LEADERS IN THE EU, ESPECIALLY IN SWISS BANKS!

I did not call malaysia an Islamic country. I called it a Muslim majority country. I also said that: Freedom of speech, respect for other views is a must in a civilized country and the world must pressure the government to obey such doctrine.

Obviously we are on the same side of the fence. Aren't we?

Hari Raya Hampers for all ISA detainess from Malaysia Today readers!

A suggestion.
Is it possible to organise a Fruit Basket and some flowers for all at Kamunting Detention Camp?
We could all chip in. But must act fast! Any local Ipoh Florist can organise it at a special price.At RM 50.00 per basket for 100 detainess only comes to a small figure of RM 5 K.
Can someone make the arrangements.I will be happy to start the ball rolling with
RM 50.00.It would go a long way to show that we care for RPK,Hindraf and all other souls who are doing time at the whims of a brutal regime!
Maybe we could delegate the task to Tersea Kok.

Ok, all those suggestions to make the government listen have merits, but takes time to be effective....if at all!
From my observation, the best stratergy is to sit/camp out at the PM residence. But this entails the very strong possibility of arrest & detention. Are they enough Malaysians ready & willing for this???

Poem (1976 version)Original :-A Peom didicated To Pastor Martin,now to RPK
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Als sie die Juden holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Jude.

Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

Translation
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

My dear Malaysian,where are we?

Dear Marina and RPK,

We are with you,the voices of the people are gathering high.Stay on!

If Shakespeare was a Malaysian playwright

Act 1 Scene 1

Dolluss: We fear for our throne, for did not he, the once vanquished, rise as he promised, from the ashes of destruction?

Najibuss: Hail Dolluss, the vanquished one has arisen only to seek hell again, for fear not, Najibuss, your humble lieutenant and worthy
Successor will sever head from body should another step forward he maketh.

Dolluss: Najibuss, know yee not, this he yee seek to slain, of sterner stuff than mere mortal, is made?

Najibuss: Najibuss the son of Razakus do not fear mortals.
Slain him I will, for in my possession a miraculous substance I have, sent by the Gods of War.
See for to it Great Dolluss, my miracle substance will mince meat make of him that traitor Anwaruss.

Dolluss: Caution oh young Najibuss, for in the Stars, the Gods of Hadhari speaks of voluminous crowd doth follow him. His strength lies not in his hands or miraculous substance, but in the crowd that doth follow him in the millions. Go now brave Najibuss, your duty awaits.
This throne thou must protect for is it not this throne that thy seeketh?

Najibuss: Hail Dolluss, Emperor of Malayuss, Keeper of the Throne of Sleepuss, I promise to serve his head for us to feast.





Act 1 Scene 2

Kairuss: Oh, father, have thou reneged on thy promise?

Dolluss: Ah, Kairuss, the husband of of my lovely Noruss, why has thou made such a false accusation? The Great Dolluss, father of Hadhariland always keepeth his words.

Kairuss: Forgive me O Great Emperor. I, your son, though not borned yee by the late Queen, but still thy son non the less, for in thee a father I see, is troubled by the promise yee made to that lecherous lieutenant, Najibuss, the Lord of Pekanuss, that this throne, yee once promised me would to him yee bequeath.

Dolluss: Ah Kairuss, the young Sire of Oxfordus, patience is a virtue thou must learn. Anwaruss is too invincible for yee to fight alone. Let Najibuss, whose great ambitions blind him, inflict great wounds on Anwarus but the final kill will be the one that yee, my son, taketh to sever the head of that Traitor Anwaruss and in yee, the people will see a hero, worthy of the Throne of Malayuss


Act 2 Scene 1

Najibuss: Oh, Great Dollus, Great Dollus. I come with bad tidings from the forest of Permatanguss Pauhuss . The Traitor Anwaruss had summoned the forces of evil and led a great Tsunamic tide. Our men, oh brave soldiers, are no match for the might of the mighty Tsunami that he led.

Dolluss: Oh God of Gods, what is to become of my throne? Oh, Noble Najibuss art thou hurt in this treacherous war? Tell me what strategy thy
Seeketh that cannot but wound this trecherous Anwaruss.

Najibuss: Oh Great Emperor, with me I brought a million soldiers from the Kingdom of UMNOus , all man of great stature who have battled in
Ijokuss. The merceneries of Rempituss too were in my ranks and a secret weapon I had kept in the person of Saifulluss were all thrown upon the Traitor but a current so strong and a wave so mighty that dwarfed the Himalayuss hit us. Our brave soldiers could not look at his forces, for from intelligence I hear, his man do not seek rewards of the Ringgituss kind but only the glory of victory.

Dollus: Saifulluss? Who is this Saifulless yee sayeth? Is he a magician? A soldier?

Najibuss: No Great Emperor, he is none of the type yee sayeth. His strength lies not in the front yee see but in the back of his bottom for in that tiny orrifice that he hides lies a great weapon that once vanquished the Traitor Anwaruss.

Dolluss: What? Oh Najibuss, and I thought that in yee I could trust. Do yee not see that in war one do not use the same strategy a second time?

Najibuss: Oh Lord of Hadhariland, more bad tidings have I to report.

Dolluss: Is defeat not an end in itself that more tidings should surface out of it? Say it, say it O Lord of Pekanuss. What more scorn would the Heavens pour on us.

Najibuss: Our men from the Specialuss Branchuss report that the Traitor Anwaruss has in his grips the promises of more than three score and ten of our lawmakers to install him the new Emperor of Malayuss.

Kairuss: Father, father what is this I hear from the mouth so foul of this disgraceful Lord of Pekanuss. My throne, my throne, is it not to
be mine?


Act 2 Final Scene

Dolluss: Have the men taketh my favourite couch, on which many many hours of blissful sleep I had?



Jeanuss: Yes, O banished Ex-Great Emperor. The couch is safely tucked in the bondage truck on its way to Kapaluss Batasuss.

Dolluss: Oh Putruss Jayuss, fare thee well for I may not walk this road again.

Jeanuss: Come, come make haste lest they find out that I have also taken your favourite bed.

Dollus: Wait, Kairuss, where is he?

Jeanuss: Zimbabwayuss, with Mahathiruss and Mukhruss.

Ban the bomb metal pin badges were a hit during the 60s.
Lets make it a hit now in Malaysia but with the words Ban the ISA,Abolish ISA or NO to ISA on it.

I propose making those metal badges that you clip onto your shirt.

The advantage of this is you can change shirts a hundred times a week and still show it all the while.

Lets see if I can get it made and sell to the public to cover costs.
Open to ideas and help from others.

Let' get 1 million signatures.RPK deserve more than 1 million signatures.

Why is it that nobody started a chain sms to ask each recipient to forward the sms to at least 10 other persons? Did nobody think of this?


Since nobody did it, may I suggest that we all do it immediately starting now.

As long as RPK is not out, there will be no more votes for BN. As long as RPK is out, we should not support any businesses controlled by BN. As long as RPK is not out, all of us should display our protest by wearing the T-shirt, put up the protest sign on our website/blogs, cars etc. We should spread the word around to everyone we know, local and overseas. BN must be shamed that they are a tyrant and is not fit to govern this country.

In the 1960s a variety of peaceful techniques we employed to try and bring about an end to the Vietnam war. There's lots of things that can be done to signal to the government just how serious we are about ending all their abuses of power. Imagine what would happen if people just stayed in bed (a la John Lennon) until the ISA detainees were freed. Or if you're worried about getting bedsores how about not going to work? or sitting down en masse on a major road in the centre of KL? There used to be a 24 hour picket of the S African embassy in London to show opposition to apartheid which was also very effective - sure enough the cops would come and arrest everyone from time to time but immediately replacements would continue the picket it was that well organised. I'm sure there's enough organisational expertise in the country to be able to pull off acts of this nature but I seriously question whether the people really have the will to place themselves in the front line. It's one thing to sign online petitions and wear tee-shirts (and I'm not knocking those) but ultimately the acid test is how many people are prepared to risk incarceration like RPK for the sake of bringing about the change we all so desperately want. Ultimately it's all about having the courage of our convictions. So lets start brainstorming and let's all ask ourselves how far we are willing to risk our own temporary comfort for the sake of long term change.
