ahmadneil,

Thanks for your kind words. (reference to posting of "winners and loosers" article).

We started posting in Malaysia Today (our only medium of posting of all comments) some time after March 2008 general election. It started with myself and expanded to a team of 15 people currently. They are all individuals of high standing in their respective countries ( 10 of them are doctoral scholars in varied fields of study). All of us are ex –Malaysians who love Malaysia dearly. We still have a lot of relatives and good friends in Malaysia, hence we are not exposing our identities currently.

We are not offended by the posting of “yew loke”, except when he suggested that we should start our own blog. This will be in total contradiction to our 3 main goals:

1) To ensure the release of Raja Petra (in fact the team got expanded from 10 to 15 recently) because of this main cause. Raja Petra belongs to all Malaysians. The longer he is in detention, it will be real trying times for all, as fresh information will be lacking.

2) To ensure that we can contribute effectively for a smooth transfer to a new government headed by Anwar. We have been cautious in exposing all the culprits, as we are not sure who are the BN defectors. We have been exposing only those we are very sure of not defecting to the PR.

3) To ensure that Malaysians from all walks of life will speak up bravely, and not be afraid to express their views. They will not be intimidated by any one. They have been deprived of free speech and press for a long time.

And we are in discussion to include our 4th goal, ie, ways we can help Anwar (some of our team members are economists) to ensure a fairer distribution of wealth to the poor rural Malays in villages and Indians who live in estates. The poor Chinese are in the minority, they may need moderate help.

Once again ahmadneil, thanks for the help. We nearly got discouraged, but will not give up that easily. Our only medium of postings will be Malaysia Today. There will not be any compromise on that.

Thanks ahmadneil, deeply appreciate it.

You are indeed 'too patient' and 'decent' in your explation given to 'yew loke'.

Today there were ISA PROTECT AT MASJID JAMIK(LRT STATION),KL, which was disperse later by the police. I managed to buy some badges to distribute among friends.

Raja Petra Kamaruddin-RPK to go for religious rehabilitation?

I thought this is real kidding if not too much already.

Read what Petra has written. Petra is a vivid reader in many subjects and Islamic religion is not excluded. Many educated Muslim learnt from his arguments via his writings over the years.

I can tell, he reads more books than many of Malaysian' Universities' Professors.

Line up those local PhD holders how many can even construct one proper sentence in English correctly, let alone to really understand and comprehend what he wrote, asides understanding of what he wants to mean them.

He has an art of communicating to people today and all these weren’t found by accident but through appreciation of hard labour.

I am ashamed. There are not many Malay in Malaysia who could articulate to people through writing about religion. I dare to say, knowing Islam without knowing religion is far from complete. This what many Malaysian are confused about, and this is what Petra has been trying to explain. I may be wrong but I consider he is superior in his own way.

Petra had been an editor with Harakah, though he didn’t write or edit all about Islamic religion but he has the legacy to prove that he is as Muslim as you and I.

If I were the Director General of JAKIM (Datuk Wan Mohamd Shah Abd Aziz), I must feel ashamed to face Petra, perhaps they are many UMNO leaders should go for rehabilitation instead, those who cheated people and the Nation, wonder if their doings are more Islamic.

My fervent prayer is that the "Pak Lebai's" who try to convert our good RPK be converted. May their bigoted views & eyes be opened and view the wondrous landscape before them.

CHANGE! for a better Malaysia for ALL Malaysians.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YM RAJA PETRA. I stand convicted in signing all petitions which have to be signed for your release from the evil clutches of UMNO and a common believe among netizens, citizens etc; is that UMNO warlords are scratching their bottoms. The worms of Karma are slithering up their arses so bad, that they spew such filth and make no sense no more.

sjs,

I totally agree with nanakassim.

Your articles are excellent masterpieces. Great revealations, hard hitting and loads of details and interesting information - not sure if I had found them all from your various postings. Just make sure you cover all your bases and not expose yourself to those who choose to pursue your issues.

Like I always believe, by silencing RPK, hundreds will step up to the challenge. If they move to silence the hundreds, then, thousands will step forward and there will be thousands more reports on the dark secrets of those who sought to silence the cry for justice. Such is the Peoples Power!

Looks like you had started the ball rolling.


On another matter, the T-Shirts on ISA and RPK - there should be only 1 colour approved. This is to enable a very visually distinct display of support when all supporters gathers together in one location. Too many colours will dilute visual impact on the magnitude of support that the cause has.

The RED colour T-Shirt will have the best impact/effect on the eye. Black coloured T-shirts does not have the same impact on the eye. Brown has no visual impact at all.

When supporters are gathered together, the visual effect will be seas and seas of red. This itself will get free promotions when the news media direct their attention to the seas of "blood" gathered together to fight against ISA and to free the detainees.

If anyone agrees with my thought on this colour, please pass the message on before they start buying T-shirt stock for printing.

Just my 2 cents worth of comments.

But you have stood for the truth and as I call you , you are our own "MAHATMA"- (GREAT SOUL). You will be victorious though it may seem bleak now. We are constantly praying for your release and your imprisonment has brought a dark chapter to our nation. Please do not lose hope since we need someone like you who puts the country and the welfare of the Rakyat above yourself. You are our beloved Raja Petra and we wish you good health, long live and victory this birthday . I believe strongly in the secret of success and all our wishes will bring you out of kamunting soon. Please take care of yourself.

Going down this path is no different from all the wheeling and dealing we have seen in BN. Having said that everyone is innocent until proven in the course of law (no hijack). But no way, the guilty blatantly gets away by selling influence. And I am not being naive about this. I really hope I have mis-read that.

Happy Birthday Pete. May God illuminate, comfort, guide, strengthen and protect you and your family.

The rest of the readers who have yet to sign the petition, be counted.

See "M for Malaysia" at metacafe. Putting RPK and others to ISA is the blatant last straw.

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth.

And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country.

Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? Racial tension, terror, unrest, threat of jail, economics. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to ..... He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent.

But the end result, the true genius of the plan, was the fear. Fear became the ultimate tool of this government, and through it our politician .......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR HERO RAJA PETRA KAMARUDIN!


Comrades and Countrymen,

We have taken note of all your positive comments. Thanks and deeply appreciate your support to our cause.

There is no compromise on our stand, Malaysia Today will be the only medium we transmit our postings! If Mahathir claims that there are several million hits on his website, then good luck to him. Malaysia Today is a well-known website throughout the world and respected for its free and unbiased comments. MT has taken a very responsible position in not only disseminating information freely thereby educating the masses deprived of the actual knowledge of this country, but very importantly MT has instilled a sense of belonging in its readers. We dare say that calls for change sweeping across Malaysia for the past months would be largely attributed to Malaysia Today!

Most importantly, Malaysia Today is the only TRUSTED medium of information for the current leaders of the BN government and Malaysia Today is largely responsible for its present state of crisis, hence one of the reason for their detention of Raja Petra! The detention of Raja Petra is a collective effort of some members of the UMNO supreme Council, which include Najib Razak and Syed Hamid!

Our perspective on the detention of Raja Petra differs with the majority! It is as follows:

“In the likelihood, that snap election is called by the Badawi government, for varied reasons (refusing to allow for vote of no-confidence, looses out in the vote of no-confidence, non-intervention of the king, the king’s intervention does not bear any conclusive outcome, etc), then the only slim chance the BN has to win that snap election, is by keeping Raja Petra away from the public. Remember, the BN government is in power, they have the money, will transgress all limits of morality in achieving their aims, and their constant fear of the cyberspace! Please also note the timing of the launch of Najib’s website and the arrest of Raja Petra! Please also note the change in UMNO general assembly dates from December to March next year! Please also note there is no change to the timing of divisional elections! This snap election, if called will be a test battle between Najib and Anwar! What will be missing in this equation is Raja Petra, the greatest enemy to Najib Razak! In short Raja Petra is the greatest threat for the BN government! It is their strong believe, and our believe too, keeping Raja Petra away will paralyze Anwar’s comeback to a large extent.”

We maybe wrong in our perspective, but this is our collective thoughts on the ongoing saga!

Thanking you all once again. Deeply appreciate all your comments!

Footnote: This is posted in both ‘winners and losers’ article and this article.
The only other Malaysian website we read is Anwar Ibrahim’s personal blog.

Comrades and Countrymen,

The man who is engineering this entire drama (reference to our perspective of Raja Petra’s detention above) is none other than the corrupt Mahathir!

Mahathir’s hatred towards Anwar, and the likelihood of the collapse of Mahathir’s corrupt empire are the main reasons for this engineering at its best!

A specialist in crocodile tears, his call for the release of Raja Petra recently, has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

I am 90 years of age and have seen the transition of governments from the colonial to the Alliance and tobthe present Barisan Nasional. It was the colonial government which had implicitely followed the rule of law, although the laws were very much designed in favour the the colonial masters. There was a high level of honesty in the colonial government. If there was any corruption, its level was insignificant.Unfortunately, the BN government which rules us is the most dishonest, tyrannical government. It claims to be a democratic government, but no democratic government should need the powers of the ISA to rule the country during peace time. This government not only needs the ISA but also a slew of many other draconian acts to suppress the rakyat! We also notice the shinanigans going on in the UMNO now and what is happening there does appear to instill confidence in the rakyat that UMNO can be an honest trustee of democracy in this country!
