Marina Lee speaking yesterday in KL

Loud applause greeted Raja Petra’s wife Marina as she addressed a large crowd yesterday. Few politicians can win such genuine love, affection and concern from the public.

“Please don’t forget you all have a part to play” in abolishing the ISA and freeing the detainees, urged Marina.

Blogger The Whisperer comments:

I was there, Anil. The support for Marina was overwhelming. Indeed, an inspiring moment.

No way they are going to break our spirit with their dirty tricks. This is what I can assure you from the ground.

Do you know where they have taken Raja Petra?  He is here. Say a prayer over this image for the immediate release of all the detainees.

Do consider sending a Raya or Diwali card to an ISA detainee. The list of names can be found here. Pick a name, write a message of encouragement in the card, and mail it to the following address:

Tempat Tahanan Perlindungan,
34009 Kamunting

Remember the candlelight vigil this Friday at 9.30pm in front of Dewan Sri Pinang, organised by the Abolish ISA Movement (GMI).

Free all ISA detainees! Abolish the ISA! Close down the Kamunting Detention Centre!

  2. The Jail House Rock
    RPK gone to lock
    With it the juicy stories halt
    On the 4 walls……….

    The freedom one seeks
    It lies buried within walls
    The UMNO leaders think they win
    Branding him a national security risk!

    The order signed
    A detention for 2 years without trial
    It is just merely to silence a man’s view
    About the ills running in the UMNO mind

    Never mind the spin
    The day will come soon
    For the Jail House Rock
    It will be empty without souls
    Only the echoes of past residents
    Clawing on the walls………..
    Wishing it will fall

    One can go in physically
    The mind is still roaming free
    Collating data and images
    Then it will be released

    The Jail House Rock
    RPK gone to lock
    UMNO leaders have silent him
    They forget others will unlock
    Marching for down the ISA
    Let us throw into the bin!

    RPK Rocks
    The prison wardens look
    They don’t know what to say
    For the Bugis prince stands his ground
    For the cause he believes he is right

  4. What the heck??? Most of the names found in ISA detention are alleged terrorists (e.g.) JI, Darul Islam Sabah, etc.

    Which donkey requested us to send Hari Raya cards to them? …

    As for RPK’s case, it’s normal. If one dares to eat chillies, one must be prepared for get spiced. I’m sure RPK knew this long ago.

    “To RPK, enjoy your stay in Kamunting & do send my warm regards to all in there!”

  6. Sorry if Anwar can not help now then we have to have an alternative plan of action to free RPK. Remember when Anwar said he has a number of PKR parliments seats to choose from for a re-entry to Parliment.

    What better time is now then to have one of the opposition MP resign his or her seat and force a by-election. This way we can see if they are willing to help and payback the support RPK has given to the opposition parties. Get RPK to stand as a Independent or a PR candidate supported by all PR parties. He should not stand for PKR , DAP , PAS ,or PS but as a apolitical candidate. support his and make sure the BN candidate looses his or her deposit. This will remind BN how unpopular they are.

    The ball is now in PR’s court and what do you all say

  7. I was there, Anil. The support for Marina was overwhelming. Indeed, an inspiring moment.

    No way they are going to break our spirit with their dirty tricks. This is what i can assure you from the ground.

    All we need to do is to continue exerting a little pressure and they will self implode.

    916 was not a big deal at all. In fact, we managed to bring out the worst of them. Just too bad many people has been blindly pull into this 916 hype and they foolishly expected the best to come. 916 didn’t materialize and they just wavered away.

    I feel sorry for them for being taken for a ride. But nonetheless, it is also their fault to allow themselves to be sucked into this hype without really giving it any serious thoughts.

    They can all give up if they want to.. We don’t need people with no sincerity. That petition to King is enough to prove it. Only 25700++ signed up. Why? Because it scare the s*** out of them to include their identity card number. Yet they go around blogs placing their heroic comments pledging their support with their ultra masochism cries. Bah Humbug!

    As for the rest of us, this fight continues because it is the Right Thing To Do. I believe Raja Petra did it for the same reason.

    And what is the Right Thing To Do now? It is for a Better Malaysia for All Malaysians. Move Forward…

  8. It’s because there are intelectually bereft people like Dalbinder Singh that this corrupt despotic regime have continued to rule in Malaysia. How can exposing the truth and defending justice be a crime that is punishable by imprisonment without trial for (potentially) an indefinite period. No civilised society should tolerate such laws.
    I canot believe that despite of all the evil, corruption, ineptitude, incompetence, wastage and arrogance of this so-called government and the previous ones, there are people still dumb, gullible and quite frankly, stupid, enough to support the Barisan National. Surely if you have Malaysia’s interest at heart, there needs to be a change.
    I only wish members of component parties (forget their leaders), ordinary members, realise this and leave the BN.

  13. RPK must be proud not only have the rakyat stand by him, but also his wife Marina. It feels good to know there are so many out there trying to help to get you out of ISA.
    This Baldie … should be thrown into ISA when PKR come to power along with AI and all the coruupted … bums in power.
    Long live RPK!!

  16. Yes it is a very good idea to have RPK to stand as a PR candidate. Bloggers united must now petition the PR leaders to have RPK as a by-election candidate. For once show the Malaysian public what the Bloggers united are .

  17. marina was brilliant. even if i was to be arrested under ISA also i think my wife would do the same.

    except that i dont think i will be arrested under ISA because i dont write BS stuffs like RPK did. and i am not referring to those political stories. u know which one or which ones that locked RPK there.

    marina should know that. all those articles about BN’s political figures or crooks or whatever his husband wrote, neither of those land him into kamunting. which one really put him there?

    i would say RPK is stupid. he was blinded by all those praises by the commentors, urging him to go all out. RPK then became big bloody head and tried to be hero for everyone – not only PR or anwar’s.

    then BN saw the opportunity to rot him there indefinitely. whos the stupidest?

    its ur husband, Marina.

  18. Very impressed with Lim Guan Eng approach to abolish ISA. That is the quality of a leader that we want. Someone who understand what freedom and liberty is all about. This is what missing with BN leaders, something that is strange even to PM and DPM. No matter how sad we are, but it is a lot more painful to the families affected. To all of them, let us be resolved to continue to fight for the release of all ISA detainees and continue to pressure the government to abolish ISA.
    The idea suggested by Rababa to force a by election allowing RPK to be the candidate is worth looking at. If not, why not, we want the government to see the reality on ground and for the public to tell the power that be, We the people are disgusted.

  21. Courtesy of Wiki : “Tugu Negara, literally the “National Monument” in Malay, is a sculpture that commemorates those who died in Malaysia’s struggle for freedom, …The monument depicts a group of soldiers holding the Malaysian national flag, the Jalur Gemilang, aloft. Each of the bronze figures symbolizes leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage and sacrifice.”

    I say we all leave a yellow flower at the base of the Tugu to show our solidarity for the ppl fighting for the nation’s freedom today.

  22. I am not only touched by Marina given such a warm and encouraging reception. Importantly, it was given by a packed multi racial supporters in the hall. It keeps the dream of a better Malaysia alive!

  23. Let the rule of law prevail. IF RPK defames, he need to be trialed. Similarly, ISA denies the right of people to seek recourse. If any of the so called Islamic terrorist in Kamunting is actually not guilty (or actually are), having them trialed will be the correct thing to do.

  24. Sorry to say this but what RPK wrote about Islam was totally uncalled for. Obviously, his understanding about Islam was very little and mostly on the surface. When he mentioned about Islam with negative perpective, of cause the non malays bloggers/readers just love to add on further rediculing Islam. There was no shy because, RPK is a muslim (if he really is) and since a muslim started it, why bother to hold their words. Frankly, I do not think any of our typical Malaysian Chinese or Indian dared to write negatively about Islam/Malay as we were groomed to respect each other race and religion but not for RPK, his is different.

    He knew the consequences, took the chance and for that, he is landed in Kamunting. In the eyes of most Malay/Muslim now, he is a devil in disguise and I am sorry for Anwar for being associated with him.
