Tomorrow at the Putrajaya Federal Court the state of Malaysian justice will be put to an acid test. The liberty of Malaysia's blogger king, Raja Petra Kamarudin, hinges on the impartiality, wisdom, and compassion of three judges who will preside over home minister Syed Hamid Albar's peevish and unreasonable appeal against RPK's release on 7 November 2008, after a two-month detention under the immoral ISA.
RPK's summary and unconditional release was ordered by Shah Alam High Court judge Syed Ahmad Helmy Syed Ahmad, whose landmark decision went a long way towards redeeming the tainted image of a judiciary corrupted by the long-reigning, self-serving despot, Mahathir Mohamad. Every decent soul in Malaysia let out a spontaneous whoop of joy upon hearing the good news last November. This is a measure of the great esteem in which RPK is held. To imprison this courageous freedom-fighter is to imprison an entire generation of politically conscious Malaysians.
The whole country - nay, the whole world - is watching this case. Everybody knows exactly who is behind the persecution of RPK - and why. Yet the ludicrous and loathsome charade continues...
My fellow Malaysians, if you love your country... if you cherish freedom, justice and truth...
SAY A RESOUNDING "NO" TO THE POLITICAL AMBITIONS OF ROSMAH MANSOR & NAJIB RAZAK!

ReplyDeleteThe link doesn't work, dear!
I'll be on tenterhooks tomorrow awaiting the results.
It's one of the rare moments when I wished I didn't have a job so I can be there!
My dear Antares,
ReplyDeleteI am sure you know how I feel about this as I am certain you could hear the pain and anguish in my voice when I called you before lunch today :(...I also did a post on it in my blog....
I can't be there physically but I most certainly will be there in heart, soul and spirit.
We are hoping for the best...
Take care and cheers.
Lita - Thanks for noticing the link was faulty, have fixed it (bit of extraneous code stuck to the end of the URL). MILLIONS of us will be at the Putrajaya Federal Court IN SPIRIT, sending out vast ripples of compassion for the judges who have been assigned this uncomfortable task and profound hope that they will redeem themselves by knowing the difference between Good and Evil.
ReplyDeletePaula - Appreciate your bringing RPK's message to my attention. Have had a large group of visitors over the Valentine weekend... it has been such a sweet & jolly time here... then this!!! The reek of hell wafting into a corner of heaven...
There is no life after death, heaven nor god at the first place. Killing yourself for these morons do not bring any good for cloned mankind. stay alive to take them another day. i beg you to keep breathing.
ReplyDeleteBluesailor - Not many of us have the courage and will power to do what RPK does. He's the ultimate spiritual warrior who fears neither god nor demon, does not kowtow to king nor knave (in this instance, those who desperately want to shut RPK up are most definitely knaves, though I'm beginning to believe they have the tacit backing of debased & cowardly kings). Death to RPK would be preferable to even another month behind bars. This man's soul soars like an eagle - and an eagle dies if he cannot roam the skies. And if RPK dies behind bars, the dream of democracy will die with him... or perhaps RPK & Altantuya will join forces as the tutelary guardians of Malaysia...
ReplyDeleteDeath is no big deal - but LIFE IS MUCH MORE FUN! So... let us all wish RPK longevity in freedom and death to tyranny in all its manifestations.
People in Malaysia of all races peranakan di-buni Malaysia aren't stupid or fools when Human Rights and their Civil Rights are suborinated to political expediency of UMNA and its Big Deal Barisan National Party, which basically use the ISA as big police batons and handcuffs in jailing their politically effective opponents. Raja Petra[ Pedro] is just such a Hero to demand with his friends an End to the ISA !He reminds me of the first South African President Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned by the white South Africans as a National Security risk a la ISA South Africa !It took Nelson Mandela many decades to free South Africa from white supremacy Injustice! Malaysia surely is much more able and capable of seeing the wisdom of Raja Petra's loyal and courageous opposition to ISA and UMNO ! In fact the whole thrust of Raja Petra's advocacy is that UMNO should be actually and correctly be reconstituted as United Malaysians National Organization where equality,justice and truth should prevail eternally.Raja Petra to his credi is rather like an early founding father of the American Revolution,Patrick Henry of Virginia ,he cried out Mederka and Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death !The British trembled ran and lost the War of American Independence !
ReplyDeleteRaja Petra has such love and grace for all the Malaysian People that even in his criticisms he hasn't uttered anything in hatred or remorse !
May Raja Fight on as King Henry de Fifth did as he issued commands "Once More Unto the Breach Once More or Close Up the Walls with NMAlaysians dead !The Malaysian Enemies are within the Walls with Mohamed the Camel Driver issuing commands for Jihad Holy Wars in a demented state of mind! They need a good Medicine Man in political ideology like Raja Petra ! If Raja Petra was in Britain all these uears he would have ben a Knight of the Queen Sir Raja Petra !or a Companion of Honour Knaik Kuda Kawan ! May the Raja and his team be blessed in the progressive future of Malaysia !!!!
