How to show your support to RPK? - 27 Sept






How to show your support to RPK? - 27 Sept

Dear friends of RPK,

A man who has stood up for truth and justice in Malaysia has now been incarcerated for two years without trial and with no hope for release, save at the pleasure of our Home Minister.



The time has come for Malaysians to stand up and be counted; to send a signal both to the authorities that we will not be cowered and that we stand by our man; to send a signal to each other that we are not alone, and to show our strength to one and all.

The time has come to act.

We compile here a number of actions that every Malaysian citizen can do in protest of the ISA, and to express their hope for a better Malaysia. It is imperative in this crucial moment that we keep up the momentum, lest RPK be forgotten like the rest of the ISA detainees.

Fly the Malaysian flag anywhere and everywhere possible (car, house, desk, body)
Drive with your headlights on in the day
Go bald (send pictures to MT Team) [download why-i-go-bald] [Gallery] [Gallery]

Tie a yellow ribbon anywhere and everywhere possible (send pictures to MT Team) [Gallery]
There are a number of other activities that can also be done, all of which will help RPK:

Wear Free RPK T-shirts or I am with RPK T-shirts (pre-order now!)
Hold Candlelight vigils (send pictures to MT Team) [Gallery]

Sign online petitions (click here to sign)
Flood the authorities with phone calls, faxes, etc (click here for more details)
Send greeting cards to ISA detainees in Kamunting
notes:

email MT Team : admin (dot) mtoday (at) gmail (dot) com
postal address of ISA detainess : Tempat Tahanan Perlindungan, 34009 Kamunting, Taiping, Perak MALAYSIA


Regards,

MalaysiaToday Team - 28 Sept 2008



Attachment:

DOWNLOAD why-i-go-bald



Latest Info :

We thought we should inform you that only family members and relatives are allowed by the authorities to visit ISA detainees in Kamunting.
It has also come to our attention that greeting cards may not reach the detainees in Kamunting, BUT we still need your support to flood Kamunting with all those cards.

Thank you for your continued support for the ongoing campaign to free all prisoners held without trial!

My Indian and Chinese Brothers and Sisters,

For once I speak to you as an Indian, who believes in multiracialism, and deeply love this country, Malaysia!

The time has come that we have to ask ourselves truly today; whether we are really the kind of human-beings that Raja Petra has fought so hard for! Have we forgotten the words spoken by him! If we did, then let us remind each other again:

“And ask the Malays in the opposition to come out in defence of their non-Malay brothers and sisters and warn the Umno Malays, in no uncertain terms, that they take to the streets at the risk of facing fellow Malays from the opposition who will defend their non-Malay brethren to the last drop of their blood. I, for one, am ready to stand by my Chinese and Indian comrades. So let Umno be warned.”

We have to ask ourselves whether we have been vocal enough to voice our concerns for the immediate release of Raja Petra?
We have to ask ourselves whether we too have fallen into the racism trap which has been the hallmark of UMNO members?

We have to ask ourselves, whether we have done enough in getting Raja Petra released?
We have to ask ourselves whether we are really worthy of his defence of our rights?
We have to ask ourselves whether our battle to fight these draconian laws have already stopped?

Let us be worthy to the cause of our struggle! Let us not be branded as Chinese and Indian, who will care only of their own kinds! Let us stand up together and be heard once and for all that we too will fight against any Malay or non- Malay and defend the rights of our Muslim brothers who have been victimized time and again for the noble cause which they have so vehemently championed!
Let us show that we too are made of steel and will fight till the end to bring Raja Petra out of the dungeon of cruelty! Let us all be counted upon!

I think we are getting our priorities screwed up in here. It is NOT important that we show our support for RPK. He knows that very well. What is important is to get him out of ISA by all means.

By sending him cards, wearing T-Shirts, going bald etc. is NOT going to get RPK out of ISA. What is required is to get each of our MP's involved in this. Get them to speak to BN leaders, the infamous Syed Albar and the IGP/Police etc. Tell them that these MP's are representing the Rakyat and if they are not prepared to listen to the Rakyat, they are OUT in the next elections.

Let us be more action oriented than being passive!

PM Badawi, on top of having enough sins you have earned additional sins during the holy month of ramadhan(1429)

You may be a politician, country premier but you have missed one point: Law & Order, don't have respect for Malaysians.

Please its about time you 'pass the baton' to MALAYSIAN CHOICE rather than your choice, which is A BIG DISASTER AHEAD, please return our country to us WE MADE OF ALL RACES.

I have a small proposal.
Could the MT Team organize a way to have public mass shaving of heads and the application of a temporary (say lasting 2 months) tatoo on the shaven head saying "FREE RPK". The people participating will pay, say RM50 for the shave and tatoo. The money after what is due to the barber is paid out can be used towards the RPK Fund. I cannot get the tatoo template because I do not know where to get it and it's not feasible for one person. It makes sense to get it for thousands of men. CAN YOU DO THIS.

If I carry the message on my head, that to me is the best indicator of how i feel. I'm sure many more men will agree.

MT team,

Flooding the streets with supporters wearing RPK T-shirts and caps would be a great idea. This measure will cause widespread interest throughout the nation and will be very much a breaking news sensation - therefore, more free publicity and more awareness nationally and also internationally.

Once the polticians sees seas of RPK supporters, they will note the widespread support that he enjoys. Nothing hurts the politicians more than ongoing bad publicity!

Another spin-off from this measure will be that the proceeds from sales can be used to finance legal expenses and also to assist those families of ISA detainees who are in need of help.

The T-Shirts and Caps can be easily and cheaply posted to any locations within Malaysia and overseas (we have lots of support from overseas). The items needs to be sold at a reasonable profit in order to be able to finance legal expenses and family assistance.

I am quite sure there are lots of supporters who would like to help but are unable to because of distance, timing or commitments. This way, the protest can be ongoing 24hrs/day, 365 days per year national wide and internationally - at minimal cost and fuss and can be done on top of or in conjunction with other more direct measures.

Boycott any open house for this raya. Station a photographer outside to take picture of who go in and publish them here so that we know who is not with us. This way we can put the government people to shame. Imagine the open house by the prime minister without people. How is he going to face the world? Maybe he would not dare to have open house this year after reading this with the excuse of cutting cost.

Please let us know if anything can be organised from abroad. Many Malaysian in Europe are sad with RPK's detention. I suggest that a world wide protest in all major cities across the globe is organised simultaneously to protest RPK's detention. Please set a date and we will try to organise local press to cover the event.

To the PM & Home Minister, the Malaysian in Europe are disgusted with the detention of RPK. We urge for immediate release of RPK and all other ISA detainees.

Indrputra is right! We have to be more effective than this. It’s fine if you want to wear the t-shirt, wear a cap, shave your head bald, hold candlelight vigils, flooding Karmunting with postcards or gather there or, boycott the GLCs (which you really can’t), etc, etc….all of which the authorities can’t be bothered with at all. They don’t give a SHIT what you people do and all I can say is that these are vain and pathetic exercise that may work in the USA but NOT HERE!

We have to be more effective. We have the parliament. That’s where we demand the action. All those voters who voted the BN MPs should go back to them and pressure them. Demand their action in parliament. WE WANT TO HEAR THEIR VOCIES!! They represent us the Rakyat. Why are they keeping quiet and being yes men?? We voted them in. This is grave injustice being done to fellow Malaysians and they are languishing is deplorable conditions in Karmunting. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE OPPOSITION OR DSAI. THIS IS ABOUT THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHT OF A FELLOW CITIZEN. IF WE HAVE TO SPILL OURR BLOOD, WE WILL DO IT! What are the MPs doing about this? Flood them with calls daily, harress them the whole day everyday if necessary. Give them hell. Make them wish they are not MPs. THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES IN PARLIAMENT. If don’t cant open their mouths and protest and demand change then why have MPs???? Why do we have PARLIAMENT IN THE FIRST PLACE??? Why do we need a GOVERNMENT???? This is the root cause of an armed struggle in some countries. Let it not be here. There are no winners. Just anarchy! It is because the government fails to listen to the people.

Those who voted the BN MPs are guilty of sending fellow Malaysians who are only fighting for a better Malaysia. THAT IS NOT A CRIME! THEY ARE NOT TERRORISTS! THEY ARE NOT A THREAT TO OUR NATIONS SECURITY! They are just you and me. IT IS THE GOVERNMENT THAT IS A THREAT TO THE SECURITY OF THIS COUNTRY!

Those who are not registered voters here, go look at yourselves in the mirror. You can’t even exercise your basic responsibility. You could have made a difference in the last elections, BUT YOU DID NOT! Nevertheless your support is still essential at this time….GO GET REGISTERED AS A VOTER NOW! IF ALL ELSE FAILS, WE WILL VOTE THIS GOVERNMENT INTO THE ANNALS OF HISTORY IN THE NEXT ELECTIONS!

BUT FOR THE TIME BEING, hold the MPs responsible. Let us all protest in front of the houses of all the MPs NATIONWIDE! That will wake them up.

By the way, TURNING ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS DURING THE DAY is a great idea. It will show our Solidarity and we must stand UNITED during this struggle and these difficult times. We owe it to our children and the future of this country.

I am now discussing with fellow painters from a workshop in my area to come out with a design based on the 'Free RPK' campaign to be sprayed onto engine bonet and the body. At the moment it costs me RM2-3K per vehicle for the artwork but I think the price is negotiable if there's demand.

SharifL, Malaysia is NOT an Islamic state; although Islam is the formal religion due the majority of the population, 60% of the ethnic Malays, are Muslims; but we also have considerable large number of non-Islamic ethnic groups, of 40%, especially the Chinese, Indian and Borneos Kadazan-Murut and Dayak ethnic groups.

Malaysia has always been dictatorial and autocratic since Independence; particularly since that barbaric Mahathir's rule! (he still thinks he's ruling, more so through his rising MP son from the dominant and racial-religious based United Malay National Organization!). Talking about cronysm!

Moreover, Raja Petra (of mixed Welsh heritage - his mother is Welsh) has always been among the bravest human rights activist in Malaysia for a long time; and was jailed by Mahathir in 2001, with Anwar (our potential PM, hopefully soon enough!) under that VIOLENT Internal Security Act!

THUS, EU (UN) PLEASE FREE US MALAYSIANS FROM THESE CONTINOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES - BY FREEZING TRADE AND INVESTIGATING THE GREAT POSSIBILITY OF MASSIVE CORRUPTED-GAINED BANK ACCOUNTS OF THE CURRENT BN/UMNO LEADERS IN THE EU, ESPECIALLY IN SWISS BANKS!

I did not call malaysia an Islamic country. I called it a Muslim majority country. I also said that: Freedom of speech, respect for other views is a must in a civilized country and the world must pressure the government to obey such doctrine.

Obviously we are on the same side of the fence. Aren't we?

A suggestion.
Is it possible to organise a Fruit Basket and some flowers for all at Kamunting Detention Camp?
We could all chip in. But must act fast! Any local Ipoh Florist can organise it at a special price.At RM 50.00 per basket for 100 detainess only comes to a small figure of RM 5 K.
Can someone make the arrangements.I will be happy to start the ball rolling with
RM 50.00.It would go a long way to show that we care for RPK,Hindraf and all other souls who are doing time at the whims of a brutal regime!

Ok, all those suggestions to make the government listen have merits, but takes time to be effective....if at all!
From my observation, the best stratergy is to sit/camp out at the PM residence. But this entails the very strong possibility of arrest & detention. Are they enough Malaysians ready & willing for this???

Poem (1976 version)Original :-A Peom didicated To Pastor Martin,now to RPK
Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Kommunist.

Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten,
habe ich nicht protestiert;ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

Als sie die Juden holten,
habe ich geschwiegen;ich war ja kein Jude.

Als sie mich holten,
gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.

Translation
When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;I wasn't a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

My dear Malaysian,where are we?

Dear Marina and RPK,

We are with you,the voices of the people are gathering high.Stay on!

If Shakespeare was a Malaysian playwright

Act 1 Scene 1

Dolluss: We fear for our throne, for did not he, the once vanquished, rise as he promised, from the ashes of destruction?

Najibuss: Hail Dolluss, the vanquished one has arisen only to seek hell again, for fear not, Najibuss, your humble lieutenant and worthy
Successor will sever head from body should another step forward he maketh.

Dolluss: Najibuss, know yee not, this he yee seek to slain, of sterner stuff than mere mortal, is made?

Najibuss: Najibuss the son of Razakus do not fear mortals.
Slain him I will, for in my possession a miraculous substance I have, sent by the Gods of War.
See for to it Great Dolluss, my miracle substance will mince meat make of him that traitor Anwaruss.

Dolluss: Caution oh young Najibuss, for in the Stars, the Gods of Hadhari speaks of voluminous crowd doth follow him. His strength lies not in his hands or miraculous substance, but in the crowd that doth follow him in the millions. Go now brave Najibuss, your duty awaits.
This throne thou must protect for is it not this throne that thy seeketh?

Najibuss: Hail Dolluss, Emperor of Malayuss, Keeper of the Throne of Sleepuss, I promise to serve his head for us to feast.





Act 1 Scene 2

Kairuss: Oh, father, have thou reneged on thy promise?

Dolluss: Ah, Kairuss, the husband of of my lovely Noruss, why has thou made such a false accusation? The Great Dolluss, father of Hadhariland always keepeth his words.

Kairuss: Forgive me O Great Emperor. I, your son, though not borned yee by the late Queen, but still thy son non the less, for in thee a father I see, is troubled by the promise yee made to that lecherous lieutenant, Najibuss, the Lord of Pekanuss, that this throne, yee once promised me would to him yee bequeath.

Dolluss: Ah Kairuss, the young Sire of Oxfordus, patience is a virtue thou must learn. Anwaruss is too invincible for yee to fight alone. Let Najibuss, whose great ambitions blind him, inflict great wounds on Anwarus but the final kill will be the one that yee, my son, taketh to sever the head of that Traitor Anwaruss and in yee, the people will see a hero, worthy of the Throne of Malayuss


Act 2 Scene 1

Najibuss: Oh, Great Dollus, Great Dollus. I come with bad tidings from the forest of Permatanguss Pauhuss . The Traitor Anwaruss had summoned the forces of evil and led a great Tsunamic tide. Our men, oh brave soldiers, are no match for the might of the mighty Tsunami that he led.

Dolluss: Oh God of Gods, what is to become of my throne? Oh, Noble Najibuss art thou hurt in this treacherous war? Tell me what strategy thy
Seeketh that cannot but wound this trecherous Anwaruss.

Najibuss: Oh Great Emperor, with me I brought a million soldiers from the Kingdom of UMNOus , all man of great stature who have battled in
Ijokuss. The merceneries of Rempituss too were in my ranks and a secret weapon I had kept in the person of Saifulluss were all thrown upon the Traitor but a current so strong and a wave so mighty that dwarfed the Himalayuss hit us. Our brave soldiers could not look at his forces, for from intelligence I hear, his man do not seek rewards of the Ringgituss kind but only the glory of victory.

Dollus: Saifulluss? Who is this Saifulless yee sayeth? Is he a magician? A soldier?

Najibuss: No Great Emperor, he is none of the type yee sayeth. His strength lies not in the front yee see but in the back of his bottom for in that tiny orrifice that he hides lies a great weapon that once vanquished the Traitor Anwaruss.

Dolluss: What? Oh Najibuss, and I thought that in yee I could trust. Do yee not see that in war one do not use the same strategy a second time?

Najibuss: Oh Lord of Hadhariland, more bad tidings have I to report.

Dolluss: Is defeat not an end in itself that more tidings should surface out of it? Say it, say it O Lord of Pekanuss. What more scorn would the Heavens pour on us.

Najibuss: Our men from the Specialuss Branchuss report that the Traitor Anwaruss has in his grips the promises of more than three score and ten of our lawmakers to install him the new Emperor of Malayuss.

Kairuss: Father, father what is this I hear from the mouth so foul of this disgraceful Lord of Pekanuss. My throne, my throne, is it not to
be mine?


Act 2 Final Scene

Dolluss: Have the men taketh my favourite couch, on which many many hours of blissful sleep I had?



Jeanuss: Yes, O banished Ex-Great Emperor. The couch is safely tucked in the bondage truck on its way to Kapaluss Batasuss.

Dolluss: Oh Putruss Jayuss, fare thee well for I may not walk this road again.

Jeanuss: Come, come make haste lest they find out that I have also taken your favourite bed.

Dollus: Wait, Kairuss, where is he?

Jeanuss: Zimbabwayuss, with Mahathiruss and Mukhruss.

I propose making those metal badges that you clip onto your shirt.

The advantage of this is you can change shirts a hundred times a week and still show it all the while.

In the 1960s a variety of peaceful techniques we employed to try and bring about an end to the Vietnam war. There's lots of things that can be done to signal to the government just how serious we are about ending all their abuses of power. Imagine what would happen if people just stayed in bed (a la John Lennon) until the ISA detainees were freed. Or if you're worried about getting bedsores how about not going to work? or sitting down en masse on a major road in the centre of KL? There used to be a 24 hour picket of the S African embassy in London to show opposition to apartheid which was also very effective - sure enough the cops would come and arrest everyone from time to time but immediately replacements would continue the picket it was that well organised. I'm sure there's enough organisational expertise in the country to be able to pull off acts of this nature but I seriously question whether the people really have the will to place themselves in the front line. It's one thing to sign online petitions and wear tee-shirts (and I'm not knocking those) but ultimately the acid test is how many people are prepared to risk incarceration like RPK for the sake of bringing about the change we all so desperately want. Ultimately it's all about having the courage of our convictions. So lets start brainstorming and let's all ask ourselves how far we are willing to risk our own temporary comfort for the sake of long term change.

Dear Sir,

My name is Manny Maniam and I live here in California. Being a former Malaysian Citizen , I can’t bear to see no more of what is currently happening back home in our country Malaysia.

I felt that I should write to you for an immediate help.
Last week, 3 innocent people were arrested under the draconian law of Internal Security Act (ISA). A famous blogger, a journalist and a Member of Parliament. The journalist had since been released after 18 miserable hours of detention. As you know, this law is detention without trial. The Internal Security Act 1960 (ISA) is a preventive detention law in force in Malaysia. The legislation was inherited by Malaysia after it gained independence from Britain in 1957. In essence, it allows for the arrest of any person without the need for trial in certain defined circumstances.

Seeing it happening in this 21st century merely for political survival by its own government is ‘unacceptable’. It clearly shows that the present government had denied the basic fundamental rights of its citizens. The present government did not heed the clear massage and mandate in last General Election in March 2008 for ‘reforms’, in which the opposition parties led by Mr.Anwar Ibrahim won 5 states.

I humbly request Your Honorable to pressure our government to release all those detained under this draconian law with immediate effect without imposing any conditions to the detainees.

On behalf of Malaysian citizens, I thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Manny Maniam

Comarades,

Can we have at least 20,000 signatories before Monday comes around? Just your name and email. What could be easier. Even if the PM don't give two winks to the petition it would at least generate enormous support for Marina to know that she's got a lot of people out there trying to get her husband out of detention. Heck, if she gets to meet Pete again and tell him that the petition received 100k signatures, it might just give him a boost of confidence to hang on until the authorities relent and let him out.

We might not have balls of steel, but surely we do not need metallic gumption to sign the petition, or do we?

I urge all to hold a vision of our beloved RPK and all other ISA detainees FREE. See them happy rejoicing with their loved ones. The power of visualisation has been documented.

At the mean time, there is additional action that we can coordinate to achieve maximum effect with our capacity. Here is a call for action and a poll: http://malaysiacivilright.blogspot.com/. In this article, we analyze, we collect consensus, and we act.

Moreover, common sense wise will tell you immediately that the PM will not take one bit of action even IF the entire malaysia runs riot demanding them to be freed. As long as UMNO loves him, he will be happy.

ISA, Don’t sign the petition,…. Yet. Here’s why.

By signing the petition, (http://www.petitiononline.com/...ition.html) you agree to the use of the ISA without trial on ‘armed terrorists and those out to topple the government by force,’ while our stand should also be for the abolition of this draconian law.

My reasons here: http://mrsmith2.blogspot.com/

Yes, we are all against the ISA and there is an ongoing campaign on that, which we are supporting.

But, bloggers out there, please get your act together and stop confusing people. many men and women on the street are kinda depending on yall for some kind of guidance in these difficult times; they don’t have the time and resources yall have to analyse all the full-stops and commas in the text.

Let’s cheer up Teresa!
September 17th, 2008 by frontbench
We’ve decided we’ll bring some cheer to Teresa and everybody can be part of this initiative.
Being locked up in a small room with no windows and only artificial lights is very intimidating, especially when one starts to lose track of time and the body and mind struggle to adjust to the new hostile environment.
We encourage you to write to her with messages of support. Send the email to freeteresanow@gmail.comThis e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it and we will print them out and try to get her lawyer(s) to pass them on to her when they meet.
1) If you want to remain anonymous and not have your personal details printed, put “anonymous’ in the subject field.
2) If you prefer the email not be printed but left on server for her to read when she gets out, please put “private” in subject field.
Wouldn’t it be great coming home and finding one has MORE mails than spams?

Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) has been arrested by Malaysia government last Friday, and has been incarcerated since than without trial under the pretense of national internal security. Through his writings, RPK has not only exercised his right in freedom of expression, but also fulfilled the civic duty of exposing the ills of the current administration. He has never advocate violence. His arrest under the pretense of national security definitely is a travesty of justice of the highest degree. I write to you for help not simply because there is injustice to RPK (who I never meet personally), but because his arrest is a direct threat to you and me -- our civil right is at stake. How so? RPK has written numerous articles articulating the interests and concerns of the common people; With the interest of the people deep in his heart, he has exposed the ill of the society and the current government. He has, over the time, developed himself as the champion and the voices of many common people. Ones can easily see his iconic stature as the voices of the people in his blog (http://mt.m2day.org/2008/). Therefore, his arrest, under a democratic system, must be interpreted as a threat to our civil right. We need to counter this threat, otherwise our civil right will get a severe blow -- which means next time we are less likely to have someone brave enough to stand up for you and me.

Due to such concern, I propel myself from the conform of daily life here, and started my first blog. In the first writing, I call for action to free RPK. The approach we take can be summarized as:We analyze our situation and capability, we vote to reach consensus, and then we act on the consensus. We need your participation because one of our strongest strength is that there are many of us. To start protect your civil right through freeing RPK, please read my first Blog and take action: http://malaysiacivilright.blogspot.com/. This is the help we need from you.

RPK, Teresa Kok and the Sin Chew reporters are each a moral force. They represent what is best in Malaysia; truth seeking, hard working, honest and fearless. When such a moral force meets an immoral force, the latter always resort to hard tactics because they cannot win otherwise. How sad it is that Malaysia, which at this critical juncture in her history needs all her RPKs and Teresa Koks should incacerate them instead. We pray for their safety and freedom and hope the authorities will see the light, the greater good.

Those buggers at the Home Ministry have a fiduciary responsibility to uphold and ensure justice. Instead they are incarcerating innocent people. WTF?
Did they bother to investigate before swallowing Khir Toyo’s lies to detain Theresa?
In YM RPK’s case it is worse. They were harassing and raiding his house to no end before his ISA arrest.
Syed Hamid’s reason for Tan Hoon Cheng arrest is both incomprehensible and befuddling and is best reflected in its monstrosity and stupidity by the logic of his excuse of protecting an innocent Tan by incarceration under the ISA instead of arresting Ahmad Ismail who instigated public apprehension and derision.
Although Tan and YB Theresa Kok have been freed it is not enough. YM RPK is still in jail for no valid reason and he too must be freed immediately and without further delay.
Lastly, the government will need to give a plausible explanation for those arrests.

Encik Nasir, if what you say is true, then something must be done about this. This is wrong and shameful of Keadilan and what they are doing to your mother and children in the neighbourhood... and I hope Anwar is aware of this. May I suggest that you write it on Anwar's blog as well. Or maybe I will also.

marbl3s, this is not just any petition but organised by people we trust, which is why we disseminate it. And its for the freedom of people we care - RPK and other wrongly detained. Yes, we are reading the petition before we sign. Yes, as Encik Nasir says, there are weasels, moles, monkeys and idiots lurking...we are all aware of that. I think one of the messages we wan to get thru to those weasels, moles, monkeys and idiots is that we are not scared any more. And, day by day, as they continue with their monkey politics and policing, more and more rakyat are seeing thru their evil ways and more and more rakyat are not getting scared any more. The fear tactics are losing the power they once had. Its about time they realise that we live in the 21st century, even the strongest alpha male will be challenged and driven out of power some day; this is not Malaya in its kampong days of British colonialsm, we are not just malaysian rakyat but global citizens and the politics is quite different, even if some people still want to play primitive politics.

There is one more way you can help free RPK. In a site dedicated to coordinating civil right movement, we have initiated a call for help releasing RPK. We have gone through analyzing our options to act, and now come to executing the voted action. The voted option is to flood phone calls to the Prime Minister office starting from 1 PM Monday (Sep 22). There are detail you need if you plan to participate. The site to get those detail is: http://malaysiacivilright.blogspot.com/. You might find this way of helping RPK could supplement other efforts that you might have involved.

Dear friends,

ISA is meant definitely for terrorists! RPK ISA detention is just another lame excuse for botak hamid to shut up a good man fighting for the common good of the people of Malaysia. I just can’t help asking why we are too slow in showing our support for the sake of common good. Why are we suckers for BeeNd bad governance?

RPK doesn’t deserve this crap, let us all do a good deed for the sake of justice, please email the petition around to our friend.

Hi,

I thought I should bring to your attention the article below. Looks like Sultan Azlan Shah shares the same values as us.

Perhaps, we need to keep him informed of our dissatisfaction too. He could be our gateway to the royaltys’ support.

Malaysia’s former king grieves over public’s loss of trust in judges
Posted on November 2, 2007. Filed under: BN government, jijik, judiciary, kosong |

Malaysia’s government faced mounting pressure Monday to pursue judicial reforms, as the country’s former king voiced distress that judges are losing their case in the court of public opinion.

Sultan Azlan Muhibbuddin Shah, addressing a conference of lawyers, said there have been recent “disturbing events relating to the judiciary” — an apparent reference to a scandal involving a video tape that allegedly provides proof of judicial corruption.

“Sadly I must acknowledge there has been some disquiet about our judiciary,” Azlan said. “I am driven nostalgically to look back to a time when our judiciary was the pride of our region, and our neighbors spoke admiringly of our legal system.”

Azlan, the highly respected sultan of northern Perak state, stressed that “a judiciary loses its value and service to the community if there is no public confidence in its decision-making.”



The sultan’s comments come after an opposition party last month released a video clip in which a prominent lawyer is allegedly taped brokering the appointment of top judges in 2002.

The government has set up an independent panel to probe the authenticity of the video, but says there is no need to overhaul the judiciary.

Perceptions that people have lost faith in judges are the “opinion of some people, not necessarily the majority,” Malaysia’s law minister, Nazri Aziz, said Monday.

“We respect the opinions. The government has (its) own perception, but we listen,” he said.

Malaysia’s Bar Council, which represents 12,000 lawyers, has said the video scandal illustrates the need to change the procedure for appointing judges.

Currently, senior judges are chosen and recommended for appointment by the prime minister, though the king formally appoints them. The Bar Council wants an impartial commission to evaluate candidates.

Bar Council President Ambiga Sreenevasan, in a speech to the same conference that the former king addressed, said that lawyers see increasing signs of a lack of trust in judges, such as contract clauses for arbitration outside judicial jurisdiction.

“In a nation like ours with aspirations to a first-world economy, the administration of justice is key,” Ambiga said in a speech to the Bar Council’s Malaysian Law Conference.

Free Raja Petra Kamaruddin, Teresa Kok and Others Held Under the Internal Security Act




View Current Signatures - Sign the Petition


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


To: Prime Minister of Malaysia


We, citizens and friends of Malaysia from the international community, call upon Dato' Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi, Prime Minister of Malaysia, to act immediately to set free Raja Petra Kamaruddin and Teresa Kok who are presently being held in detention without the right of due process under the Internal Security Act (ISA). We also call for the release of the HINDRAF Five and others presently imprisoned under the ISA.

The two latest detainees - together with Tan Hoon Cheng, a newspaper reporter who was subsequently released following widespread local outrage and protests - were arrested on September 12th under the draconian ISA which permits the police to detain a person for a maximum of 60 days for investigations. Based on the outcome of the investigations, a person can be detained for two years without trial. The two-year term can be renewed indefinitely. The use of such legislation – a legacy of British colonial rule - violates the basic rights of detainees to due process and fair rule of law.

We are of the opinion that there is no basis whatsoever to justify the detention of these individuals, despite the manner in which some in the government-controlled mainstream media may have painted them as threats instead of objectively reporting the facts. Raja Petra Kamaruddin is alleged to be a threat to security, peace and public order as a result of posting in his widely followed blogsite – www.Malaysia-Today – various articles deemed as seditious and belittling Islam. In his defence, it should be noted that various Islamic political parties and organizations (including the Board of Directors, Muslim Professionals Forum in their Press Release on 13 September) as well as numerous Muslim leaders have publicly refuted the Government's view that the writings of Raja Petra are in any way a threat to the nation or to Islam; and they have called for his release. Further proof that this allegation is unfounded can also be found in the decision of the Malaysian Cabinet on 12 September ordering the authorities responsible for Internet policing in the country to unblock public access to Raja Petra's website. The website currently is still unblocked and the so-called seditious and anti-national contents are publicly accessible, although Raja Petra is in detention. Targeting an internet blogger who holds views that differ from the Government is unacceptable in any system of democracy.

Teresa Kok's arrest under the ISA has been justified by the authorities as stemming from her involvement in activities which can cause tension and conflict among races and religions. This allegation appears to be based on a claim by the former Selangor Menteri Besar, Dr. Khir Toyo, that she organized a petition presented to mosque officials to lower the volume of the azan (call to prayer). Teresa Kok has categorically denied organizing any such petition. Abdul Rahman Nasir, head of the Masjid Kinrara committee (the mosque in question) and Dr Siti Mariah, Member of Parliament for Kota Raja where the mosque is situated, have also denied that Teresa Kok was involved in any such happening. The unjustified arrest of a respected member of parliament and state assemblywoman is unacceptable.

We are encouraged that various leaders of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition parties have recently spoken out against the use of the ISA. We wish to express our deep respect for the de facto Law Minister, Zaid Ibrahim, who has resigned in protest against the Government's use of the ISA on the three individuals. We agree with his view that "there [are] ample punitive laws to act against lawbreakers without having to invoke the ISA. [The law] should only be used on armed terrorists or those out to topple the government by force,"

We urge the Prime Minister to take note that the continued detention of Raja Petra Kamaruddin and Teresa Kok will only strengthen the view of Malaysians and many friends of Malaysia around the world that the Government is rapidly losing control over the political situation and, as a result, is embarking on desperate authoritarian measures. These measures can only further undermine political stability and confidence in the legitimacy of BN rule. They will also undoubtedly contribute to the increasing capital flight and worsen the growing socio-economic turmoil.

The arrests of Teresa Kok and Raja Petra Kamaruddin and their detention under the ISA are not serving Malaysia’s national interests. Both detainees – as well as the HINDRAF Five and other political detainees - should be released immediately and unconditionally.



Sincerely,

The Undersigned
