We are here, not because we are law-breakers; we are here in our efforts to become law-makers – Emmeline Pankhurst

We women are so proud of Raja Petra, who’s championing justice for women; and his dear supportive and strong wife and family! He and his family are indeed brave MALAYSIANS and true ones at that! We hope more Malaysian males will be as brave to defend justice for women in this sorry nation-state, especially with the increasing crime rate against women, particularly rapes and sexual murders! And more so when such crimes are committed by people in power who are supposed to protect the rakyat or anyone else for that matter, for the sake of justice!!!! And also we truly are grateful for Raja Petra’s great courage for defending the values of true DEMOCRACY, that includes freedom of speech on behalf of all Malaysians and humanity! As we are to ever courageous Karpal Singh and the tortured Hindraf leaders under the most barbaric ISA!

My heart goes out to all that were present at Sungai Buloh Prison yesterday, thanks.
Will make my way to Dataran Merdeka today, let’s make it big this time!
God bless RPK and all true Malaysians!
Do visit my blog and read “True Malaysian on Trial”
May 8, 2008 at 8:28 am
Thank you folks, for keeping up the struggle.
cheers….
May 8, 2008 at 8:36 am
I am sure there are many like myself who wants to be there. It will help if we get a day notice.
In fact, I would like my family there if possible.
Thanks to Malaysians above that act on their words as it helps us to ease the pain we feel for RPK and family.
May 8, 2008 at 8:45 am
May Allah give courage & good health to Malaysian hero Raja Petra to continue ‘cleaning’ Malaysian Goverment till really bersih sebersih-bersihnya !
May 8, 2008 at 8:57 am
Yes! A Truly Bangsa Malaysia crowd gathering for justice for our dear Petra.
I shed a tear for not being in the country to join you, but I will be lighting a candle at my local time to correspond to 8PM when all of you start your gathering.
May 8, 2008 at 9:15 am
bless all you people for the show of solidarity! it would be good if every week there is this vigil on. let’s show the authorities we all support RPK!
btw since many of you were talking about justice for altantuya’s campaign, why not you use this banner – put it up on your blog.

tell me what we can do in Sabah.
Jeffrey,
Hold candlelight vigil, too?
May 8, 2008 at 9:35 am
The whole nations who support RPK/MT should protest too
May 8, 2008 at 9:52 am
Jeffrey,
Tell Sabahans to vote wisely and ensure only just people are elected. There are lots of bad people out there justifing their abusive ways.
May 8, 2008 at 10:03 am
Are the MPs in the Parliament too blind too see this?
Hopefully not or else too phatetics..for them to sacrifice another Malaysian Hero for real justice.
D.S.T. Azlan have said from his heart “Your position is not forever. One day, you’ll be an ordinary person walking in the bookshop and people will spilt at you. “Malu for what you have did to the innocent rakyat (Shame and Disgrace)
We rakyat do not want Hooligans MPs in our goverment.
May God Bless Everyone who Support for this Justice Forever!
May 8, 2008 at 10:07 am
Dear Harris,
If a push comes to a shove and if the inept BN leaders still don’t get to grasp the rakyat’s frustration about the powers to be charging the messenger and letting the power corrupt evil doers going scott free, then I suggest that all right thinking and justice and fairness seeking citizens should repeat and post exactly what RPK poured out of his heart in the “Let’s send Altantuya murderer’s to hell in their respective blogs and if need be, join RPK in Sungei Buloh. The more the merrier and hopefully that would send a very clear message to the government not to miuse the mighty government machinery against right and truth seeking rakyat.
May God bless RPK and give him the strength to continue God’s path to truth and justice.
May 8, 2008 at 10:07 am
Spit I mean instead of spilt. Sorry.
Maksudnya “Meludah”

May 8, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Just read today’s malaysiakini that says that RPK is on hunger strike and has cut off communication with his family. I’m really worried and I wish I could help but I’m in Australia. I hope he knows how much Malaysians care for what he has done for us all. I don’t usually pray but I will, for his sake. It’s obviously a political vendetta and I think that bloggers have to prepare for a big struggle ahead because there will be quite a few more I suspect. Makes me wanna start a blog!

“YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE”
When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There’s a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark
Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone
You’ll never walk alone

Dear friends
Thank you for the prompt response to my earlier request for putting up some photographs of the vigil that took place last night at the SB Prison so that those who could not join the ‘vigilante’ could at least share their thoughts and feelings with RPK who is locked up in the prison.
For all of those who are outstation or who could not attend tonight’s vigil at the Dataran, please light a candle tonight to demonstrate our solidarity and support for RPK.
I spoke to two lawyers today and they were of the opinion that the DPM has abused his position and power. If ever there is an arguable case between him and RPK, it should be fought civilly. By applying the S. Act, I just hope that he is not using the tax-payers’ money to fight RPK. For we will object so loudly that it will cause the Parliament House to ‘bocor lagi sekali’.
My friends, light, truth and justice will ultimnately prevail over darkness, corruption and unfairness. I just hope that the judiciary will exercise its duty and power vested in them to protect the innocent. I am sure if the DPM loses the case, he must be prepared to step down and vacate his position.
The decision to initiate action to charge RPK under the Sedition Act 1948 is likened to one using the sledge-hammer to crack a small pebble. By so doing, he has lost the respect of the masses. I am sure they will have second thoughts to support him as PM when AB steps down.
Let us bloggers near and far pray and continue to pray for RPK until he is released and acquitted unconditionally.
For such a morally courageous person who is daring enough to fight the BN machinery, we salute you and assure you of our continued support. We will stand solidly behind you to fight this injustice perpetrated against you.
May the Almighty God continue to bless and protect you and family. We assure RPK that we will always be behind and beside you through thick and thin and for better or worse.
Please do your duty by contributing a US1/- to the legal fund.
I further enjoin all ye loyal and faithful to write a note to state your support for RPK on this blogsite as long as it takes to demonstrate to the authority the people’s power is behind RPK.
May 8, 2008 at 9:49 pm
RPK is one in a million?
I think RPK is one in 30 million. That is more like it.!!!
When will another come along?
Perhaps in another 10 years?
I think it is more like a 100 years!!!
GIVE GLORY TO GOD, TUHAN, ALLAH (in no particular order) for this creation RPK
May 8, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Please bring along a mini-hifi to play “YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE”. LONG LIVE RPK!!!!
