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 They just continue to use outdated draconian laws to serve their agenda, yah?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….
bn haramjadah? is this your real name???

Brother Anil,
Please note that people have already started to lose confidence in Datuk Seri and I mean BIG time !He is in Kelantan with Saifuddin today meeting up with PAS leaders… We need them to re-act fast or face the people’s wrath quite soon
Cheers,

RPK is a smart man and he must have anticipated this move much earlier and I believe he has a contingency plan.
ISA is no longer relevant in Bolehland and they still used it on a blogger who only reveals the truth, nothing but the truth.
Or may be this time, they are so kind that ISA is also used to protect RPK, like what they have used to protect the Hinderaf and others as well.
They must understand that they are lucky this time to become the members of the cabinet. But then even the Rakyat who support them do not agree with their move.
They must release RPK the sooner the better. Otherwise the Botak Minister and the whole federal guomen could be the sole loser at the end.
Remember, their names will appear in the Bolehland and World HISTORY Books forever, in the NOTORIOUS Chapters of course.

Syed Hamid is a …LIAR….!!! When they use ISA to lock up the Sin Chiew lady reporter Syed Hamid said it is to protect her.SO that means when the Government and police wants to protect someone they put them into prison under ISA.BUT when all this while they are protecting Saiful….why didn’t they put him in prison under ISA just as what they did to the Sin Chiew lady reporter under same terms and conditions..??? LIAR..!!!
Today again Syed Hamid said he had to put Raja Petra under ISA because or insiting racial sentiments and insulting Islam but when Ahmad Ismail openly insult Chinese and tore down Gerakan Leader Koh Soo Khoon’s photo right infront of so many witnessesand openly defy Prime Minister and would not appologize…Ahmad Ismail is not put into prison under ISA for doing the same even worst things….! This is selective prosecution and blantant abuse of ISA bt Syed Hamid.And the Malaysian Rakyat will hold Syed Hamid accountable.
Even the Bar can see so clearly on this abuse by Syed Hamid and unanimously voted against this kind of abuse and wants ISA to be abolished.
Everyone with eyes can see so clearly..of what Syed Hamid has done…!I pray God will punish him for the Evil he is doing to Malaysians and his lies to the Malaysian Public and practice of selective prosecution under the ISA.

patience is a virtue. after 51 years of being subject to misrule, blatant abuse of power and massive corruption, whats another 4 years. dont lose faith and keep united in the sole cause of removing the cancerous BN so that the country will have a brighter future.
keep the faith and walk with PR. There will always be those who fall by the wayside, but we must keep faith. The road to freedom and justice is long and arduous but the rewards are worth all the tribulations and suferings that come along the way.

i think the silent muslims really need to be more vokal and speak up.
Read this from the online version of The Star…
Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin was detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) because his articles ridiculed Islam, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar.
“The police recommended his detention and after going through the papers, the Government was satisfied there were strong grounds for him to be further detained for two years.
“His articles could arouse anger among Muslims,” Syed Hamid said, adding that he signed the detention order on Monday after he was satisfied with the reasons to detain Raja Petra.
.. hamid (appears to be the one at fault)… he has made the people; not only malaysians but the foreigners as well to misunderstood islam as radical and intoleable. as a result, people would have a misperception to see muslims as almost rigid and violate.
if the muslims are really respect and love their religion, i beg all the gentle and silent muslims to come out and make a strong protest against … hamid…. this is a serious matter.
and where the heck is that PKR MP who lead the protest in front of the bar council when we needed him the most right now!!!

Face the Malaysian ISA facts.
It’s a No No if detainee is kind of light colored.
It’s makes a lot of noise if detainee is kind of darker.
It’s not seen, not heard (not even bothered),if detainee is islam-more so a brown-colored islam,assumed and confirmed as “terrorist”-seen the list?read their stories?
All this high and mighty human right c***-talk…my foot

This is what the our beloved first PM Tunku Abdul Rahman said
re: the Internal Security Act
“The ISA introduced in 1960 was designed and meant to be used solely against the communists…My Cabinet colleagues and I gave a solemn promise to Parliament and the nation that the immense powers given to the government under the ISA would never be used to stifle legitimate opposition and silence lawful dissent”,
Tun Hussein Onn, the 3rd Prime Minister said in Parliament that:
“The ISA is a measure aimed at preventing the resurgence of the earlier communist threat to the nation… During my term of office as Prime Minister, I made every effort to ensure that pledges of my predecessors, that powers under the ISA would not be misused to curb lawful political opposition and democratic citizen activity, were respected.”
So long as the ISA is in force, Malaysia cannot be regarded as full fledged Democracy.
The Internal Security Act 1960 and a number of other Emergency Regulations have not yet been repealed and they are in Statute Books. Emergency can be declared at anytime according to
Dr Cyrus V. Das, in his book Government & Crisis Powers, CLJ , 1996
a leading Constitutional law expert and former Head of the
Commonwealth Law Assn. Our Hamid is also a lawyer – but what
law he learned god only knows. Even Islam does not teach one to
behave in this manner.
What respect our Ministers have today for our BELOVED TUNKU ABDUL
RAHMAN.
They are hypicrates – not democats – they will be punished by the people very soon – may be within a year in my estimation.
Let us hang on – be patient a bit.
