Walk With RPK? More Than Happy To Do So

May 6, 2008

As you would already know, Malaysia’s #1 most read blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin (RPK) has been charged with sedition by the Sessions Court in PJ today. The Malaysia Today editor was charged after insinuating that Najib and his wife, Rosmah Mansor were involved in the Altantuya Sharibuu murders. Does anyone doubt anymore that this is entirely a political move?

If Najib had nothing to do with the Altantuya murder, then surely there will be no hanky panky going on in the judiciary, which all Malaysians know will kow-tow to the executive (also known as the BN government). Prosecutors being replaced, immigration records being erased from the system, prosecutors clamoring to prevent Najib’s name from being mentioned in court, newspapers not printing Najib’s name even though it was mentioned in court, the close links between Najib and the accused are not explored, do you think Malaysians are fools and we cannot see that there is already so many signs pointing to a miscarriage of justice?

Do you know why BN lost so badly in the last elections? One of the reasons is that people’s eyes have opened since the VK Lingam incident, and they see no hope for the Malaysian judiciary. Nothing has changed since then, even though there has been a royal commission, and a half-hearted ‘apology’ for the judicial crisis in 1988. But what are the concrete steps taken to ensure that the executive has no power over the judiciary? What?

As of this moment, RPK has been taken to the Sg. Buloh prison to be remanded until October 6th 2008 because he refused to post the RM5,000 bail. Let me see, can I afford not to read Malaysia Today for a few months? Nope, I’m already addicted, so I’ve contributed some of my measly earnings from blogging to raise funds to post bail via Paypal.

RPK, hope to hear from you again soon. And Najib, although you might think otherwise, but I think you can kiss goodbye to your hopes and aspirations of becoming the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

Donation details here, if it hasn’t been reached already by now.
