So Home Affairs Minister Syed Hamid has signed a two-year detention order against Raja Petra (photo credit: Susan Loone) – which means RPK goes to Kamunting today. The detention order was signed yesterday, ahead of RPK’s habeas corpus application in court today.
His lead counsel for the habeas corpus application is Malik Imtiaz Sarwar. The Court has since set 28 October to hear further submissions.
He was also due to appear in court under a sedition charge over an article of his which implicated Najib in the Altantuya murder case. Hearing had been fixed for 6-10 October.
I wonder if RPK will be allowed to attend court to respond to the sedition charge and the other lawsuits against him. Remember how he had threatened to expose everything in court?
Says blog reader Han2:
They just don’t get it, do they. They just continue to use outdated draconian laws to serve their agenda, yah? They just do not listen to the cries of all Malaysians for change. Perhaps, we should do more to send this message across loud and clear. Let’s do more….
The goalpost has been moved yet again! Can they truly celebrate a “victory” won by foul play??? Don’t they see that their actions are only driving previous fence-sitters in droves to support Team DSAI in the hope for a better tomorrow in Malaysia?
“But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24).

Maybe it is better to send our cards to Bloghouse so as not to have to publish Marina & RPK’s home address online. The last thing Marina needs is constant visitors.
Mr. Anil, can you please supply the address of Bloghouse or something similar so that you or your friends can pass on our messages of support.

I really hope GOD has mercy on these BN souls for the foul deed they have imposed on this beautiful country.
I beleive in ‘KARMA’ and I am sure this mad Minister of Home Affairs will have his day !! …
It is a very day and each and everyone of us must try to keep RPK’s spirit up. We should write to him….but I dont think they will let him have the letters.
DSAI must now move fast and urgently. Ask the whole world to protest
against such injustice.
The opposition(PR) must go to the palace and petition for RPK’s release.

Hell! This botak guy is really too much. He really loves to see people suffer. Hari Raya are just days ahead and he did this to RPK. The family must be shattered by this event. RPK may be in Kamunting for more than 2 years. Don’t forget the botak guy can always extend RPK time in Kamunting. What happened to the signature drive. Only 20K took the trouble to sign up. I was expecting at least 2 million. Come guys, don”t let RPK down. Take the time to sign up. Yep. I already took down RPK new address. Tomorrow first thing in the office will send him a Raya card.

Home Ministry worked thu the night to give the order…
Order superscedes today’s case… therefore “events overrides matters” & the hearing being “academic”…
You tell me non-political? Syed Hamid…. you not involved in ISA decisions??

This incident is indeed a black spot on the justice system in this country.
RPK is an exemplary Malaysian who like all of us has every right to freedom. To all those who support him, pls sign the petition that is going around to release RPK and the rest of the ISA detainees. Play your part as a fellow citizen and let the government know, Malaysians are not deaf nor blind to their actions!!!
The actions of the government will haunt them when the time to answer to the Almighty come one day.
To Syed Hamid, ever heard of the word ‘Karma’, or what goes around comes around, if not, go look in the dictionary!
I do hope that DSAI would stay true to his words and releases all the ISA detainees when he takes over. If however, circumstances are such that he is unable to do so, well, no guesses to who gets my vote during the next general election:)! In the meantime, I hope the PR would do everything in their power to try to release RPK or at least ensure his safety while in detention.

Whatever amount of suggestion,proposal, argument, debate, media expose going on on the ISA now, is definitely NOT at same level as during when Tan and Kok was inside.(..Kok even got to talk about the food)
The fact is showing up that; level of commitment to help brother or sister Malaysian differs according to the color of your Malaysian skin and if you speak Mandarin or not. (Dont mean to be Racial)

While on this ISA subject,I mean to provoke some deeper thinking-hopefully).
It sort of began when those Hindraf guys got it, there was a build-up of protest.*URGENCY was NOT there.
Then when Kok,Tan and RPK got took in too..ANY petition was a BIG yes.**URGENCY was BIG TIME HOOHAA!!.
After that, when Kok and Tan gets out,petition comes under debates, bickering begins-some tries to sound like lawyers,some say it’s not enough.***URGENCY went OUT the door (even Sloone’s tellin’ why she’s wont sign).
See the list and hope you smell it.

When Pakatan takes over the govt, Botak should be put under ISA for protection … Then he should be ordered to sleep on cement and be given food fit for ….. After that, he can give us a press conference and as usual,… tell us how good life is in detention…Of course, this is only a figment of my imagination bcoz after Pakatan takes over, ISA and Botak will be finished – sent to the dustbin of history…

mankok,
The level of public sympathy to ISA detainees is NOT due to skin colour or ability to speak Mandarin, they are due to underlying factors:
1) Tan and Teresa were both totally innocent and undeserving to be detained. Naturally public sympathy for them was high. They are also female which helps.
2) RPK twisted the Lion’s tail, knowing what repercussion he could get so sympathy for him is lower.
3) Hindraf 5 fought only for Indians and unfortunately they also used extremist language like ethnic cleansing and ‘cannot rule our armed struggle’ so sympathy for them is lower still.
Please don’t turn this into a racial issue. The aim now is to jack up public sympathy for RPK who fought for all Malaysians, not compartmentalize this into race and fragment the drive to free RPK.

Sam,
Your suggestion is very practical. Everyone can send cards to RPK. I have also mentioned your suggestion in my blog. I will also forward emails on this to all my contacts.
Perhaps Anil should highlight your suggestion.

only 20k people sign the petition to free RPK as well as the other ISA detainees, and Syed Hamid said ‘Silent Majority Agrees with ISA’. If you have not sign the petition, please sign it don’t just talk. Walk the talk!!!!

My apologies for the late comment as I was too devastated with the actions of Hamid Albar signing the papers to amend the charge under ISA which led to Pete being detained under the freaking Minister’s discretion.
I just got back from the grotto and my heart really bleeds for Marina & the kids. Eventhough she will be seeing Pete tomorrow at Kamunting, one can only imagine the pain & suffering that Pete, Marina & the kids are going through this ordeal. What did he do to go through all this, by exposing the TRUTH for all to read ?
If you ask me, I had enough of the s*** politics from both BN & PR and if there is indeed a change in administration, then be done with it, and start governing the nation. Enough is enough and we, the RAKYAT, are suffering from this political ….. who keep on talking with little action. Whatever it is, Pete put his hopes on Anwar & PR, and they better get their act together FAST and once the takeover materializes, they need to release Pete and all detained under ISA at once.
TALK IS CHEAP and I mean from the politicians !
God Bless,
Christopher
P/S : Sorry for my tone today but I am really pissed off

Kenny,
when you compartmentalize “less sympathy”, “more sympathy” on this ISA thing, you already seem like Syed Hamid.
