GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH

NO HOLDS BARRED

Raja Petra Kamarudin


I was perturbed when I read YB Teresa Kok’s statement that the food under ISA detention is equivalent or slightly better than dog food. It costs RM8 to feed a dog, according to the Malay Mail survey and only RM4.50 to feed on ISA detainees.

I feed my cats and fish premium food such as science diet and would never dream of feeding my pets the food that we are fed here. I actually stopped eating the food here after the first couple of days because it gave me diarrhea.

A couple of nights ago I vomited after eating the food and now I cannot even stand the sight or smell of the trays that they send to our cell twice a day.

I now survive on dates and plain water and I suppose if that is good enough for camels to survive in the Arabian Desert, it should be good enough for me.

I was told camels have a healthy sex drive and I would like to believe it because of the date that is my staple food. Of cause, there is no way I can test this theory until I come safely out of this place.

Actually, food is the least of my worries at this point of time. I am presently in three months solitary confinement and the only pussy I get to see is this mangy cat that somehow has found its way into my cellblock to sleep outside my locked door.

It has not rained since I arrived here a week ago and I was told Kamunting has not seen any rain for the last few weeks.

The heat in the cell is unbearable and the air is very stuffy.

The uncomfortable environment does help to put your mind off your growling stomach.

I am what they call under orientation. This three months' orientation I suppose is to get me used to the 2 years I am going to spend here.

One of my favorite classics that I used to read in Standard 1 is the Tale of Two Cities, which is about the French Revolution. I can now better appreciate the battle cry “give me liberty or give me death”. They say you appreciate something only after it has been taken away from you. Today, my liberty is at the top of my priority list. But I know it shall not come soon and it shall not come easy and it shall only come if there is a change of government and if the new government fulfills its promise to abolish the ISA.

Pete,

I am saddened with the situation you are currently facing and it sickens me everyday that commoner like me can do nothing other than lending a crying voice.

However, I am still quite taken with your ability to joke under such circumstances. You are so humorous.

Stay healthy, Your Grace. New Malaysia awaits you.

Dear Pete, it pained our hearts to know that while all Malaysians rejoiced the hard-earned two days rest for the Hari Raya, you are left with only the "mangy cat" for company. But fret not, dearest Pete, all Malaysians are praying hard for yours and your family's well being. We do not think anyone deserves another day in Kamunting, least of all YOU! Keep your spirit high and we know our prayers will be answered. Selamat Hari Raya Pete!

I was totally delighted to see your article sir. I see you have not lost your humor sir, although shut away from the outside world. How on earth did you manage to 'smuggle' this piece out?

On a sombre note, we are all waiting for your release. We are with you all the way. I am waiting to get my hands on the T-shirt and the banner.

I hope you will not get into anymore trouble with the KAMunting guards for writing about your cell condition. I will keep my fingers crossed that there are some kind souls in there who would help in you in any way they can.

This might sound too much to hope for, but please keep on writing from your cell.

God bless you.

I would like to dedicate a Chinese poem to RPK, writen in 1281 by a Chinese Officer (same rank as prime minister in modern day) who was kept prison by Mongolian emperor. He was kept in a room of 8 ft (damn, that is the size of the ISA cell). The poet described how worst the situation in the cell during the summer and all the "qi" of negativity surround him but none of the negativity can break him because he believe in there is truth, 天地之正气. The truth will never bend over to evil and hardship!

序：余囚北庭，坐一土室，室广八尺，深 可四寻，单扉低小，白间短窄，污下而幽 暗。当此夏日，诸气萃然：雨潦四集，浮动 床几，时则为水气；涂泥半朝，蒸沤历澜 ，时则为土气；乍晴暴热，风道四塞，时 则为日气；檐阴薪爨，助长炎虐，时则为火 气；仓腐寄顿，陈陈逼人，时则为米气； 骈肩杂沓，腥臊汗垢，时则为人气；或圊 溷、或毁尸、或腐鼠，恶气杂出，时则为秽 气。叠是数气，当之者鲜不为厉。而予以 孱弱，俯仰其间，于兹二年矣，幸而无恙 ，是殆有养致然尔。然亦安知所养何哉？孟 子曰：「吾善养吾浩然之气。」彼气有七 ，吾气有一，以一敌七，吾何患焉！况浩然者，乃天地之正气也，作正气歌一首。

正文：

天地有正气，杂然赋流形。
下则为河岳，上则为日星。
于人曰浩然，沛乎塞苍冥。
皇路当清夷，含和吐明庭。
时穷节乃见，一一垂丹青。
在齐太史简，在晋董狐笔。
在秦张良椎，在汉苏武节。
为严将军头，为嵇侍中血。
为张睢阳齿，为颜常山舌。
或为辽东帽，清操厉冰雪。
或为出师表，鬼神泣壮烈。
或为渡江楫，慷慨吞胡羯。
或为击贼笏，逆竖头破裂。
是气所磅礴，凛烈万古存。
当其贯日月，生死安足论。
地维赖以立，天柱赖以尊。
三纲实系命，道义为之根。
嗟予遘阳九，隶也实不力。
楚囚缨其冠，传车送穷北。
鼎镬甘如饴，求之不可得。
阴房阗鬼火，春院闭天黑。
牛骥同一皂，鸡栖凤凰食。
一朝蒙雾露，分作沟中瘠。
如此再寒暑，百疠自辟易。
嗟哉沮洳场，为我安乐国。
岂有他缪巧，阴阳不能贼。
顾此耿耿在，仰视浮云白。
悠悠我心悲，苍天曷有极。
哲人日已远，典刑在夙昔。
风檐展书读，古道照颜色。

Dearest Pete,
This is the first time I have called you by this name since I started blogging in MT. We have never met but the brick wall that vengeful villains have put between us has somehow created this invisible and unexplainable bond between us. Every time I read about you, I shed tears. Today reading this bit from you is great relief. It is so wonderful to hear from you. We will pray for you and all Malaysians so that the political scenario would change soon. Have faith in God, have trust in the truth, you will be free soon to be the voice of truth and conscience. I don’t know if you know how to meditate or believe in meditation. If you know and if you do, please meditate. It will take your mind off all pains and bring you closer to divinity. God Bless You.

Dear RPK,
We will make sure it is liberty that you will get. Anyway think of your incarceration positively as a time when you can get away from the devils out here who are bringing disgrace to the holy month of Ramadhan. While you take a break, we are enjoying an UMNO opera where a Julius Caesar clone is about to be killed by his worthy follower. Let us forget about those bastards.
To you and all those in Kamunting ( Muslims as well as non-Muslims) a selamat Hari Raya to you and may God/Allah ultimately answer our prayers and set all of you free.
To those responsible for the crime of locking you up to prevent you from voicing your concern over their evil ways, may they have sleepness nights during this Holy Month as they and their family go through their miserable lives knowing that they have committed the greatest sin against mankind by shutting up the innocent so that the guilty can remain free.

Everyone knows he is not a threat to anyone except those that want him to shut up. Even Ku Li, an UMNO veteran said we are really laughing stock of the world.

On the other hand, if his articles are deemed too ridiculous/insulting to islam, charge him in mahkamah syariah! Or get all Ulama/Ustaz to debate those articles!

Does Home Ministry specialised in Islamic studies? Are they even qualified to judge the subject?

I am wondering, in ISLAM, is it ok to jail an innocent man?

If ISLAM is against jailing an innocent man........

Will the Deputy Minister for Public Complaint take immediate action to censure the Prison Chief Warden for Kamunting Detention Center, Taiping.

a)"I actually stopped eating the food here after the first couple of days because it gave me diarrhea."
b) "A couple of nights ago I vomited after eating the food and now I cannot even stand the sight or smell of the trays".

This is a very serious 'real' complaint by RPK.

So YB Teresa Kok's statement was corroborated by RPK on facts at issue.

Selamat Hari Raya to all, especially our dear friends under ISA. This raya, do go and visit your relatives, your neighbours, your "meet once a year" makciks and pakciks, your bosses, your drinking pals, your old classamtes, your old girlfriedns, your ex boyfriends, siapa saja la, go visit and talk about the present situation in this country, make them aware what's going on. You can go anywhere but please don't go to those open house by govt. DON'T EVEN think about it. Don't sell your dignity, your soul, and your support just because of a place of rendang, a few sticks of satay and a glass of teh tarik. If you are hungry, i can treat you up anytime. Just stay off those open house by govt.

RPK, stay strong.

Be careful with which French saying you teach those idiotic thieves, liars and murderers. They may take it literally.

Try this safer French saying : "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

But then they may say "That's why we lock you up - to protect you!" (like that reporter)

Dammit, Pete, it's so uplifting to see your byline dated 30 September - blogging from Kamunting! What an inspiration you are to the nation. Your enemies (and the rakyat's) in Umno could NEVER IN A TRILLION YEARS attain the influence and popularity you have achieved just through blogging in your frank and fearless style. No wonder they're hopping mad at you. Not only have you shown up their misdeeds and moral decrepitude, you have also thumbed your nose at all their vicious attempts to silence you. They simply have no clue - THEIR TIME IS UP! The era of Raksasa Rule is over on planet Earth. The Great Mother of All Life will NOT tolerate disintegrity, hypocrisy, and unmitigated greed. The weakness of men in high office is yet again demonstrated by the mere fact that only a few steadfast souls like Zaid Ibrahim have had the courage to resign. Everybody else thinks if they can just hold their nose and hang in there another year or two, they can retire from government service with a fat gratuity and pension. To all these people (some of whom I once considered friends) I can only say: may your grandchildren hang their heads in shame whenever your name is mentioned!

If I am not mistaken, the police dogs in fact get better and more costly food than our prisoners or ISA detainees.

Anybody in the know, it would be of assistance if someone could give us all an idea of what RPK may receive while under detention. I'm certain the public just can't send ie.food to detainees, so a list of what is kosher would be appreciated.

I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity” - Nelson Mandela

Selamat Hari Raya RPK and to your special family who endure suffering and pain of the heart yet they and you continue to sacrifice to make this a better country. Your efforts are not pointless, each day more Malaysians are standing by you. Right now, you are the most admirable person in whole of Malaysia. We are not taking to the streets because we do not want to jeopardise the cause we are all fighting for – to FREE MALAYSIA from the fascists rule. So hang in there RPK we are all trying to whatever we can to get you out and WE WILL! We are no more the Malaysians of 50 over years. The transformation has begun and thanks to you, you have opened all our eyes.

For this Hari Raya Adil Fitri celebration, I can’t find anything we Malaysians can celebrate about when you and all the other detainees and languishing in prison - put there by this corrupt government. They can never win over us again and we will banish them to oblivion soon and every one of the culprits will be held accountable.

So take care Pete, keep your spirits high, for that is one thing they cannot imprison. It is the spirit that lives in us all and grows day by day.

Muslims don't pretend to fast when they are not.
Muslims don't do evil things to hurt another human being.
Muslims are not corrupt.

If having an open house is perceived as performing good deeds, Allah's house is closed for you; all ye shallow thinkers and evil doers.

A couple of nights ago I vomited after eating the food and now I cannot even stand the sight or smell of the trays that they send to our cell twice a day.

I now survive on dates and plain water and I suppose if that is good enough for camels to survive in the Arabian Desert, it should be good enough for me.




They purposely gave those kind of food as part of torture to the ISA detainees..I believes the food given didnt worth more than RM2-3/ day,not RM4.50 as stated..Where the rest RM1.50 ??? It lost into somebody pocket or pockets...

Anyway RPK is making a good move by eating dates.I believes he had taken experiences from from former ISA detainees.Dates is a complete food which might be enough to supplement his body needs.It reduced blood cholesterol.It might solve RPK hypertension...Anyway no thanks to ISA..

I have translated a part of RPK's exclusive interview recently by a Chinese magazine.

http://chinyauchia.blogspot.co...art-1.html

This is my little contribution to help creating awareness when RPK spoke to the Chinese community. He is consistent, precise, and straight to the point.

There are all in all 8 parts, I just did the first part.

Please, help to spread the English and Chinese versions to your friends, let them know how RPK think, what he has done, and what we should do to for him.

Create the awareness, we are still small compare to 27 million population in this country. If anyone can translate to Bahasa Malaysia, you are most welcome.

Create the impact, create the force. We need not go extreme or by force, but getting more to understand his line of thought will help people realising what RPK has done, and doing for all of us, it will reach a point where BN can no longer withstand the snow ball effect.

Do it, for those who wanted to share with their Chinese spoken friends on RPK, there's another blog translating articles from RPK to Chinese.

I HAVE A SPECIAL RAYA MESSAGE TO THE GOVERNEMNT OF BADAWI, UMNO, TOYOL, NAJIB, AHMAD ISMAIL.... and all the LIARS amongst you.

DONT BE SO proud that your are now celebrating Hari Raya Aidil fitri..

ALL OF YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED.... YOUR PUASA TELAH BATAL..

how can you puasa and commit sins at the same time?

YOU sinned by sending RPK to jail without trial

YOU sinned by creating lies that sent Mother Teresa to 7 days of detention and eating DOGS FOOD.

You sinned by sending MOLOTOV bombs to Teresas innocent parents house..

in fact all of you were committing sins everyday for the whole month of ramadhan, so how can you be celebrating the raya? ONLY as hippocrites..

Allah is cringing in heaven looking down at you all pretending on earth to be sooo holy....

Dear Pete,
The translation of the Chinese poem writen in 1281 by a Chinese Officer.

"正气歌 Zen Chi Ge"

There is in the universe an Aura which permeates all things, and makes them what they are.
Below, it shapes forth land and water; above, the sun and the stars.
In man it is called spirit; and there is nowhere where it is not.
In times of national tranquillity, this spirit lies hidden in the harmony which prevails.
Only at some great epoch is it manifested widely abroad. (And as to these manifestations, those who run may read.
- Were there not the fearless and truthful annalists of old? (translation seems different from original here)
Was there not the disinterested chivalry of Chang Liang? the unswerving devotion of Su Wu?
Did not Yen Yen say they had headless generals in his district, but none who surrendered their allegiance?
Was not an emperor's robe splashed with blood that might not be washed away?
And the teeth of Chang Hsün? - the tongue of Yen Hsi?
- the guileless honesty of Kuan Ning, pure as the clearest ice?
- the martial genius of K'ung Ming, the admiration of Gods and men?
- (omitted?)
- the oath of Tsu T'i - the tablet dashed in the rebel's face?

"Such is this grand and glorious spirit which endureth for all generations;
and which, linked with the sun and moon, knows neither beginning nor end.
The foundation of all that is great and good in heaven and earth,
it is itself born from the everlasting obligations which are due by man to man.

"Alas! the fates were against me; I was without resource.
Bound with fetters, hurried away toward the north,
death would have been sweet indeed; but that boon was refused.

"My dungeon is lighted by the will-o'-the-wisp alone: no breath of spring cheers the murky solitude in which I dwell.
The ox and the barb herd together in one stall: the rooster and the phoenix feed together from one dish.
Exposed to mist and dew, I had many times thought to die;
and yet, through the seasons of two revolving years, disease hovered around me in vain.

The dark, unhealthy soil to me became Paradise itself.
For there was that within me which misfortune could not steal away.
And so I remained firm, gazing at the white clouds floating over my head,

and bearing in my heart a sorrow boundless as the sky.
The sun of those dead heroes has long since set, but their record is before me still.
And, while the wind whistles under the eaves, I open my books and read; and lo! in their presence my heart glows with a borrowed fire."

Dear Sabahfan

Ref:Allah is cringing in heaven looking down at you all pretending on earth to be sooo holy....
Definition:cringe verb
1 to suddenly move away from someone or something because you are frightened
2 INFORMAL to feel very embarrassed:
I cringed at the sight of my dad dancing.
Allah's names and His Attributes are mentioned in the Quran and linked here ihttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/99_Names_of_Allah :
examples:
1 الرحمن Ar-Rahman The All Beneficent, The Most Merciful in Essence, The Compassionate, The Most Gracious Beginning of every chapter except one, and in numerous other places 2 الرحيم Ar-Rahim The Most Merciful, The Most Merciful in Actions Beginning of every chapter except one, and in numerous other places 3 الملك Al-Malik The King, The Sovereign, The True and Ultimate King 59:23, 20:114 4 القدوس Al-Quddus The Most Holy, The Most Pure, The Most Perfect 59:23, 62:1 5 السلام As-Salaam The Peace and Blessing, The Source of Peace and Safety, The Most Perfect 59:23 6 المؤمن Al-Mu'min The Guarantor, The Self Affirming, The Granter of Security, The Affirmer of Truth 59:23 7 المهيمن Al-Muhaymin The Guardian, The Preserver, The Overseeing Protector 59:23 8 العزيز Al-Aziz The Almighty, The Self Sufficient, The Most Honorable 3:6, 4:158, 9:40, 48:7, 59:23

Please don't second guess what God will or will not do and please do not give attribute to God that is not mentioned in the Quran, Because some readers may misunderstand your intention and therefore confused on the issues of God's attributes.

If your choice of word is based on the Bible, please provide me with the reference, so I can educate myself. Otherwise don;t use the word to describe God.

Note: Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims and happy holidays to others. Lets hope and wish that this will be the last Raya under BN and ISA

“give me liberty or give me death”.
But I know it shall not come soon and it shall not come easy and it shall only come if there is a change of government and if the new government fulfills its promise to abolish the ISA.

DEAR PETE, MAY I SUGGEST YOU ALSO READ THE NOVEL - THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO.
EDMOND DANTE, THE HERO, LIVED TO EXACT HIS REVENGE BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, HE WAS ABLE TO ENSURE TRUE JUSTICE PREVAILED. AND YOU MUST PREVAIL FOR THE SAKE OF THE COUNTRY.
MR. PM, IF YOU HV ANY LINGERING HOPES TO SAVE YR THICK SKIN, "TEAR DOWN THIS WALL" OF ISA INJUSTICE NOW. THIS IS THE CRY OF THE RAKYAT.
TO PR, IF YOU SHOULD FAIL RPK, THEN LET IT BE KNOWN YOU HV ALSO FAILED THE RAKYAT AND, AS SUCH, WILL FACE THE SAME WRATH AS BEEND.

Dear RPK:
Selamat Hari Raya to you and family. This is a travesty of justice and the burden you are bearing is on behalf of all of us. You have shown us that there is a heavy price to pay for speaking one's mind. Your quest for justice and fairness has awakened the slumbering spirit in us. We empathize with your suffering and we know that the Government is trying to instill fears in every conscientious Malaysian to silence us and to enslave us to an absolete race-centric political philosophy.

Your incarceration will not be in vain. This travesty of justice has ignited a fire in every Malaysian and we can see clearly how inhuman and cruel our leadership is.

For the sake of everyone in Malaysia and all the future generations, we must change the current political leadership. We must liberate the minds of our fellow citizens. We have a duty to this beloved land to get rid of oppression, to promote justice and fairness, to inculcate a love for freedom.

When one of us is incarcerated, everyone has lost a precious gift. We cannot afford to have the BN Government silence the conscience of the people. An unexamined life is not worth living. Do we want to live like animals being led by our noses, or are we a free person who is courageous to pursue our dreams and be the best we can ever be. BN Government has no plan to develop the people of Malaysia to be the best they can be. What it is doing is to build racial sterotypes.

If we want to change our future, we must first change our thinking. If BN Government does not have the future of the people in mind, then how can the government be trusted to lead us to a brighter future.

As a new year present to Raja why don't the BR arrange with a local restaurant to deliver daily meals to him!

After all this was one of the privileges Harun Idris enjoyed when serving his sentence at Pudu Prison!

Do not say not possible without trying to!

RM15 a day should be enough. Is that too much to ask from BR that has gain/benefited so much from our outspoken RPK!

BR please walk your talk and show some gratitude. You still need Raja badly before the next general election. So you need him to be fit and healthy when he is released in 2 year time!
