Dear Michael Chick,

I am indeed saddend to learn of this guy's demise...
How did you die? Was it peaceful? Did he suffer much? How come the wife did not lead the procession which is customary? Did she left him? So sorry for the deceased that the monks have to carry his picture.

Additionally, was he cremated or buried? Did the children came and wail and cry or did they hire professional mourners? Did the deceased have a good life on earth? Was he a good man? Did he do any charity?

He looks a bit overweight. Did he died of a heart attack? How old was he? Does his relatives missed him?

There are thousand and one question I want to ask but just don't know where to begin.

If my recollection is correct, I have only seen him once with a Keris in Hand waving menacingly at some crow.

There were pictures of him with a pretty Mongolian girl who is death now. Someone claim the girl was his girlfriend but I am uncertain.

Please more pictures please.

Yes, go in drove and attend the vigil whenever and where ever there is! This is to keep the flames glowing and the fight must be going on! We want RPK out sooner, we must do whatever it takes to achieve it! RPK is now being fettered and he can't do any damn thing under the animals' watch! We can and we must do something for him, on his behalf!

There will be another candlelite vigil in Penang tonite at 9.00pm at Dewan Sri Pinang. It's about to rain now and I am ready to go now! Despite the rain showers, our emotions are hot and flaring high! For RPK, I feel I am obligated......................! So brethrens, pls do your part too!

We have a carbon copy of Imelda Marcos next to the PM in waiting. Expected the nation to be getting iron-fisted rule in years to come, worst than the Marcos regime. During the Marcos regime, political opponents was taken from their homes in the middle of the night and they never came back thereafter. Remember. . ., the assassination of Baguino Acquino who was killed just as he came back from exile at the Manila Airport? The murder case points all the way to the person ruling the country (sounds familiar?)

If you think ISA under PM Bodohwi is cruel. . ., with this next PM the worst is yet to come.

I am not trying to spook you guys. . ., consider this track records; waving the keris and wanting to "bathe it with Chinese blood" (he had never apologize to this statement). The sadistic way surrounding the Mongolian beauty murder case (not enough with close range shooting, the body was blown to pieces. . ., real sadistic). Like a tyrant telling the rakyaat to respect him (shouldn't respect be earned and not forced upon?). Robbing the rakyaat hundreds of Ringgit even before becoming the PM (what now if he is at the helm?). All these are signs of a despotic, iron-fisted dictator. Anybody wants to rebuke these facts?

Thinking about these things and considering with all the characteristics portrayed by this person in the past send the cold shivers down my spine!

I am scared. . ., really, really scared!

Due to the heavy down pour before the candlelite vigil at Dewan Sri Pinang last night, the turn ups were slightly reduced to 200 odds supporters only! More of from Hindraf group and some might be only MT members, including some few bloggers. The MP of Bukit Mertajam Chong Eng was giving her speech and she did express that in order to make the voices and movement of 'Mansuh ISA' louder and stronger, the more people supporters the merrier! It seemed like people are contented with the situation and the draconian ISA is none of their concerns! It's a kind of mentality which is the fatal weakness the Power that be catch hold of the people and continue to suppress them, knowing they are non-challant most of the times to issues not affecting them directly, until and unless the fire has burnt to their threshold, they will only force to run out the houses and yell for helps and join the force of protests! They only take care of themselves and others like RPK's sacrifices for them was taken for granted as if RPK is the only one who ought to do these sacrifices for them! They are thus lackadaisical and non-empathetical to think of an urgent need to help and do their parts to how to rescue RPK out from the hell hole with due urgency! This is very selfish kind of attitudes which only help fail whatever good cause that's initiated and prompted by RPK and other freedom fighters! It will only be successful we all take the same efforts to sacrifice together on our parts otherwise the reforms or insurgence will befallen in vain! It's meaningless and unfair for only RPK and family to be sacrificed for a cause which is good to benefit all of us and we do not do enough for Him in times of needs of our efforts!

What happen to the opposition parties? I saw less of the so-called PR component Party leaders coming out to lead the force and mostly are the NGOs! They have now become the State Governments and wish to play safe?! Or they have the ace up their sleeves? Have they forgotten that RPK was the one who helped to blow up the tzunami 308 and not merely DSAI's charisma! I for one supported DAP this time round 308 mainly due to the belief in RPK that Umno is dirty and rotten to the core which warrants us no future!

It did not bode well to me by seeing so little response from the public to come together to voice for ISA abolishment and release of RPK! Writing good essays with flying colors in MT is one way to keep up with the flames! To ensure RPK's sooner release, we all ought to do more, so much more to do to have our heads counted! Actions are more important than eloquent rhetoric in this confrontation in the street fight with the corruptible Government that be!!!! God Bless RPK's safety and his soon release!

It was indeed a good meet.

I walked down the Taman LRT steps at about 15 minutes to 8, and it was already very dark. I couldn't recall a padang in front of AmCorp Mall, but was lucky to get directions from two guys - one I recognized as "Zoro" - walking past the A&W restaurant. Turned out that the padang was across the road, and not directly in front of the mall.

Quite a lot of people, perhaps about 50, were already there. Some brought along their kids, which was a great thing as it's never too young for them to learn the responsibilities of citizenship. There were many older men and women, but also, delightfully, the younger set as well. Though asked to bring red and yellow candles, many had white ones and some with rather small versions too, much like birthday candles. I used a cardboard, pierced for the candle to slide through, in order to protect the hand from hot wax, but there were innovative people who slid the candle through transparent plastic cups which also served to shield the light from the slight breeze in the coolness of an evening after shower.

Some people stuck the candles on the paved flooring - an area with concrete seats next to the padang - and I remarked to a newfound friend that it looked like an occult ceremony. The arranged candles, together with a larger anti-ISA pattern designed by another group, gave me mixed feelings. Humankind often supplicate the occult when they cannot do things for themselves: we often turn to the magical or supernatural for powers we don't have. And - despite the warmth and camaraderie and optimistic expressions of folks gathered there - this is the situation we're in. I'd thought of saying a few things after the speeches of Harris and Bernard Khoo, but decided not to dampen the enthusiasm of the goodhearted crowd. Moreover, as Thomas Peacock once wrote: "Much that well may be thought cannot wisely be said."

But it's necessary to accept that, after the failures of the Left in battling British imperialism, Malaysians no longer have the revolutionary traditions they could draw on. Worse, government oppression has resulted in a largely sullen, passive citizenry, in a populace that decided, under the circumstances, to think only of themselves and their families rather than society or the nation at large. This is truer of the non-Malays than the Malays, so it's not surprising that the latter are often more politically active. The unjust persecution of Anwar, however, had resulted in non-Malays becoming more politically aware, and by extension more involved. But leadership and political activism remained a largely Malay affair. This trend is fortified by a government that denies much of non-Malay rights - even the right to question the privileges of the ruling party - and by the non-malay feeling of having no stake in the country. The recent rebellion at the general elections thus was unique, a happening provoked only by the most kurang ajar attitude of certain government ministers. When insults after insults piled in during a time of economic distress, a general feeling of "enough is enough" was expressed at the ballot box.

Will this anger against BN, and specifically UMNO, last? Chances are that it would, as that party cannot rein in the extremist actions of their brainwashed flock. Thus Malaysians have been treated to spectacles such as the use of molotov cocktails against Teresa Kok, and the diatribes of those at the lower end of the UMNO hierarchy such as that Ahmad something from Penang. Indeed, because of our poor education system, even those relatively higher-ups, like the former Selangor MB, cannot resist statements that reveal their buffoonish nature.

But it's still an uphill climb, so far as real change in government is concerned. The recent ascendancy of Najib isn't likely to improve matters, and things might become worse if Mukriz takes over some day (though he's reputedly a nice person, it's debatable he could escape the influence of his father).

A new and progressive Malaysia, therefore, is unlikely to be realized through government change, but a change in government might. Thus the people's hopes rest on the shoulders of PR, and for the present, the ability of Anwar to bring this about in the shortest possible time.

Meantime, we've got to free RPK and all ISA detainees.
