done, haris.
if there’s less than 100,000 signatures, then we would have let them down big time. forget about shouts of ‘reformasi’, about ‘we are behind you RPK’ These are meaningless slogans while they remain in prison under ISA.
Put your money where your mouth is, for once. get your friends to sign up!

I see there’s more than 30,000 signatures although it was launched less than a week. The other petition to Agong … after all the pleading, as some of us had to go down on our knees only manage 25,000++. I am wondering what are we Malaysians made of?

The recent use of ISA is unequivocally without justification. It’s blatantly a political persecution. I’ve not met one person from the young to the old who supports this measure. Out with ISA.

Free the innocent and let justice prevail. I feel sad that the ISA is used on innocent and great people. May the Heavens hear the plight of the everyday Malaysian and punish the schemers and evildoers. I support the petition to free RPK, Theresa and other ISA detainees.

Haris, I would greatly appreciate a short post on your opinion of DSAI’s press conference earlier today (or yest.).
Wasn’t able to make it in person (some of us mortals have to work you know! 😉 ), but I caught a video replay and seems like you were actively “interrogating” saudara Anwar. In a good and not-at-all-surprising way, if I may add – surely everyone else would have been dying to ask him similar questions.
What do you think? Do you reckon his answers were believable? That he has the numbers and wasn’t giving us false hope and BS all this while?
MatKilat,
Keep the faith. Anwar has the numbers. I am sure of it.
Post on my thoughts up next.
I’m asking because I USED to believe, but am starting to feel its all a load of bollox…….he seemed (IMHO at least) quite evasive under your persistent questioning.
Your thoughts, brother?

Thank you very much Bro’ Haris for this latest petition which is very timely indeed, in spite of other efforts being currently undertaken.
At the end of it all, AAB may be too groggy to even bother to read the petition let alone see the number of signatures supporting this cause.
Having said that, we will still be on record of making this humane effort hoping for a humanitarian response.
His days may be counted and at least he should do a damage limitation exercise so that he can leave with some dignity still intact.
Thanks again and you take care, Bro’.

We are living in a world of fear. Fear of what? Fear of being abducted for voicing out. Is ISA the next KGB? Free them all! Abolish ISA. We are being blinded by our existing government which is run by non-qualified people. Those of have the right quality and qualification should run the government and not some “Jaguh Kampung”. Again, I support the release of all detainees.

Hari Raya is just around the corner. Let’s enjoy some dodol and kuih makmur. I don’t think your ISA feed them well in there. Be more human lah for sake of Malaysia.

Surat Rakyat Kepada YAB Perdana Menteri Malaysia
Assalammualaikum Warrahmatullahi Wabarakatuh,
YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Bin Hj Ahmad Badawi.
Pejabat Perdana Menteri,
Blok Utama, Bangunan Perdana Putra,
Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan,
62502 Putrajaya, MALAYSIA. 18hb Sept. 2008
YAB Dato’ Seri,
Per: Mohon pertimbangan wajar YAB Dato’ Seri demi kesejahteraan rakyat dan keselamatan negara Malaysia tercinta.
Sebagai rakyat Malaysia negara berdaulat, saya, Mohd Sofi Yassin merakamkan jutaan tahniah kepada YAB Dato’ Seri kerana dalam tempoh pentadbiran lima tahun, YAB telah berjaya melalui dua pilihanraya umum dengan jayanya.
2 Sepertimana yang telah diketahui umum, Ketua Pembangkang, YB Dato’ Seri Anwar Bin Ibrahim telah mengutus surat kepada YAB Dato’ Seri memohon pertimbangan bagi memberi laluan kepada satu ‘Sidang Khas Parlimen’ diadakan pada hari Selasa 23hb September 2008.
3 Sebagai rakyat yang cintakan keamanan dan kestabilan politik dan ekonomi negara, saya dengan rendah diri memohon jasa baik dan pertimbangan wajar YAB Dato’ Seri agar apalah kiranya dapat mohon mengadap ke bawah DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Dipertuan Agong bagi menyampaikan hasrat ini.
4 Sebagai rakyat, pertelingkahan berpanjangan antara dua kumpulan parti politik amat mengganggu dan membosankan. Justeru, izinkan saya mencadangkan agar permohonan YB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim diambil kira sebagai satu langkah bagi meleraikan kekusutan yang berlarutan ini.
5 Andaikata dalam persidangan khas parlimen itu nanti, apa pun keputusan dan perakuan daripada kesemua wakil rakyat haruslah kita sebagai hamba ALLAH yang menjalankan amanahnya menerima dengan hati yang terbuka dan penuh keikhlasan.
6 Saya penuh yakin sekiranya ketelusan ini dilakukan, rakyat Malaysia keseluruhannya akan menerima YAB Dato’ Seri sebagai seorang Perdana Menteri yang berhemah dan memahami hasrat serta kehendak nurani rakyat terbanyak.
7 Andaikata permohonan mengadakan persidangan khas parlimen ini ditolak, maka saya juga penuh yakin pandangan serta persepsi rakyat terhadap YAB Dato’ Seri dan seluruh anggota kabinet akan tercalar dan tidak manis untuk diperkatakan.
8 Saya menaruh penuh keyakinan bahawa dengan mengadakan persidangan khas ini akan dapat membantu menghilangkan keraguan rakyat baik terhadap pentadbiran YAB Dato’ Seri sendiri maupun terhadap YB Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim serta gabungan Pakatan Rakyat.
Mengakhiri permohonan dan cadangan saya ini, saya mendoakan agar YAB Dato’ Seri serta keluarga dan rakyat Malaysia keseluruhannya akan sentiasa berada dalam peliharaan dan keberkatan kurniaan Illahi.
Terima kasih dan Salam takzim,
Ikhlas dari
…………………..
Mohd Sofi Yassin,
Kuala Lumpur.

ISA is the law of the jungle. A law that promotes
“Might is ‘right’. Black can become white and white can become black. It is up to those who have the might to decide whether one is black or white.
Do we want ISA to be used by those who have the might (power) to oppress and use it to perpectuate their might and act unjustly against those who are a threat to their power and position? If no, please join me to sign this petition and hopefully our beloved Agong will do away with it and set free the freedom fighters for a better tomorrow for Malaysia.

Fellow Malaysians,
Please express your minds and distribute this petition to everyone.
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.

September 19, 2008
The white regime in South Africa used something not unlike the ISA when they brutally suppressed the coloureds. Indefinite detention without trial. The present malaysian government is resorting to the same tactics. Tactics that saw the death of Steve Biko in custody. Corrupt politicians used bankrupt policies. But what goes around comes around. The day of reckoning is fast approaching. ABOLISH THE ISA NOW and FREE ALL those being held under this harsh, evil law!

Hmmm.. “Free Teresa, Abolish ISA!”.
Yeah, sometimes I wonder if a well-intentioned effort is made without considering the bigger picture, especially when RPK got ISA-ed before TK was!
Racism at work? Who knows? Or does anybody care?
Someone MUST coordinate all these petitions otherwise we’ll look like clowns.

I am sorry, I disagree with the use of ISA on anyone. As such I cannot support the statement where it is ok to use it selectively. Hence I can not sign the above petition. Please don’t get me wrong as I am for the freedom of RPK and Teresa.

# 905 “Free DEAR Pete”
When the cry of Freedom.
Is called in every land,
Only one has come to answer,
Only one can stand. When the angels see from heaven. Those who are broken, Even their tears can’t be suppressed.
And the earth is filled with
storm. Bitterness is all he tastes, The man whose lost his friend,
But through his pain he knows, He’ll see them once again.
God looks upon you, Though bruised, you still
stand, He opens His arms and holds you,
Saying, “My son My Brave Man.”

My prayers for RPK, Teresa, Hindraf 5 and all those unlawfully detained, taken from Psalm 125,2 Chron 12,

Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,As the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, So our eyes look to the Lord our God.
‘O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon YOu.’
according to Your WORD, Lord be it us all who are praying for the afflicted. amen.

I’ve signed even though I disagree that ‘the law (ISA) should only be used against armed terrorists and those out to topple the government by force.’ The ISA should be abolished. A new anti-terrorist law should be drafted with all the safeguards against abuse by the Executive and those safeguards can only be amended like a constitutional amendment requiring 2/3 majority. Of course before that the Judiciary must be cleaned up first

Thats personifies UMNO for you now. Sure they will be buried in the next election. These racist insular megalomaniacs have been in power for too long and giving that up along with their unchecked wealth and privileges puts them in a very very vulnerable position. They are probably shit scared at such a prospect. Explains their desperate knee-jerk moves to plug anything that stands in their way. Sic! Eventually, nature will get them.

Shame on all the evil ones (Satan is what they must be worshipping!) involved causing such atrocity and may they and their family punished severely by God for their “deeds”!!
True Malaysians, we must fight for the likes of RPK and the lots to save Malaysia out from the grip of these evil human!
Free RPK, and all ISA detainees that are wrongfully detained!

Petitioner # 896

September 19, 2008
Amazing, ain’t it.
How some people go about preparing their petitions.
a) One seems to be hurriedly done by Tony Pua/DAP, essentially, to get Teresa Kok out (plus RPK & others added on, more as an after thought). And pray, tell us, to whom will this petition be presented to. The PM? The Agong?
b) Another petition was made by Lim Teck Ghee/CPI, an NGO, which was addressed to the PM and contained a better worded message but somehow included the ‘offensive’ clause (as pointed out by Charles Hector).
For those who seems reluctant with b), was Rome built in one day? Diplomacy is an art not everybody is gifted with.
And did Charles Hector make any effort to initiate a petition himself?
Time is of the essence. Quit nit-picking. Just sign.

Here I am sleeping comfortably on my bed and these 2 are sleeping on wooden platform without mattress and pillow. My heart ache and at the same time cursed those people involved in this heinous act. My heart goes out to RPK, Teresa, all other ISA detainess and their families. People, please, please get as many signatures as possible as time is running out.

I am encouraged by the speed this latest petition is gaining momentum as I was in the high 900s this morning and it is already past 5K now. I think that without the need of the IC, more international readers can now join in and we will wave the flag most vigorously for the detainees.

shar101, you r right. I signed it off yesterday and sent out to friends and family around the world to sign as well. Today, I get emails from many of them who signed but confused and worried about what some other bloggers are saying, cos of that last para. I assured them that its ok to sign and encourage others to do so.
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. So, please don’t sabo one another among yourselves.

RPK, Teresa Kok and the Sin Chew reporters are each a moral force. They represent what is best in Malaysia; truth seeking 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 RPK 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.

Look man
I’m not going to lie, I like politics about as much as I like getting my fingers slammed in the door.
But when a guy gets thrown into jail for just for saying something he believes in, and is not given a chance to defend it, then it’s just plain wrong. I don’t know if what he said is true or not, RPK may be crazy. But even crazy people have rights.
From what I know, the ISA is like an instrument. That’s all it is. An instrument of fear and prevention of something bad happening. Like Batman, he scares the daylights of criminals. He uses fear too. The ISA is supposed to be used for real threats, as in terrorist threats. So yeah, when you use in on a guy who just writes stuff he believes in, then if you think he’s inciting unlawful stuff, correct me if Im wrong, but you have the law of sedition or something. A different type of law, where the accused can defend his facts and stuff.
So I’m signing this petition because I think he’s been dealt the wrong type of deal. Not because I believe what he says, but because I think the punishment doesn’t fit the crime, even if it should not be a crime in the first place to say crazy stuff.

I am writting this comment to show my support (No.1533)to have ‘RPK’ FREED from ISA detention only.
I regret and I am ashamed to admit that I was not aware at the time of my signing of this ‘FREE RPK’ pettion and of the contents in the 5th Paragraph – Last Line which states that that person who signs the petition agrees that the “‘ISA’ law should be used on armmed terrorist or those who are out to topple the government by force.”
I would make my stand and make clear that I do not condone or agree to the use of ISA “The Internal Security Act’ on ANYONE for what so ever purpose.
My signature has been endosed for the sole purpose of having ‘RPK FREED’ and should be used for said purpose only and not otherwise.

I believe a special effort needs to be made to acknowledge the Malay leaders of PAS ,PKR and various Muslim and Malay NGOs (not to forget Zaid) who stepped forward to lend their support, thus foiling the plot to turn her arrest into a racial issue.

Don’t take it the easy way out by saying that they are a threat to national security but in actual fact what RPK said and written are in actual fact a very threat to the individuals in the BN leaders especially those in the AMNO.These are the people who preached all the goods what our country should be in but they act in a different manners.

Thank you Michelle, Sam and Lilian for grasping the essence of my message.
There are imho 3 types of people in reference to their views of the ISA:
a)Those who support it for whatever reasons.
b)Those who do not support it for whatever reasons.
c)Those who do not want the ISA used even on their worse enemy.
I’d like to belong to the 3rd group and make every effort to make it a reality. It is also a ‘journey’ which must be made with pragmatism. And diplomacy plays a major part for the endgame.

Friends,
Does it make sense to seek the release of all 65 detainees while at the same time condoning or rather supporting the use of ISA on “armed terrorists and those out to topple the government by force” – the very charges faced by the Hindraf 5 and those supposedly linked to the JI movement.
As long as the ISA is in the statues it will be open to abuse. The government can classify anyone a “terrorist” if it wants to, as conveniently as Anwar is made a sodomite and as conveniently as the Hindraf 5 are linked to the Tamil Tigers and as conveniently as Teresa Kok, a national threat.
Also remember the grounds for ISA detention is NOT open to review by the courts as the Ministers Order is final. This is a draconian law.
So, do you still support the ISA?

Mr Smith,
OK,let’s do it your way. Forget about the petition. Let’s just concentrate and debate on the nuances of petition clauses, what’s right and should be included plus apply all our efforts only towards matters of principle for the moment.
The 64 detainees can very well await our full consensus before any remedy is available to them. Chipping away at the wall is apparently not good enough, the entire thing must collapse for it to be considered an unmitigated success. Hence, your premise that ALL can and should be released in toto.
But before we begin this great debate, Mr Smith, could or would you also consider the sentiments of family members of all 64 detainees? Btw will you be sending your heartfelt greetings and messages as I’ve suggested above at 3.13am today?
Getting even one released is a moral victory for civil society and then, we proceed to the next case. Besides, TK’s release is an indication that the authorities are at sixes and sevens with their ISA applications.
Do not bite more than you can chew, Mr Smith.
P.S. With TK out, 64 are still incarcerated. Full list here:

I read this Malaysiakini:
Mahathirism the cause of BN unravelling
Proarte | Sep 19, 08 5:20pm
I refer to the Malaysiakini article MCA, Gerakan told to work with Umno to kick PM out.
This article revealed Dr Mahathir’s breathtaking hypocrisy. He lamented that race relations were deteriorating under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi without even considering that it is the culture of Umno, which he himself engendered, which is responsible for Umno’s racist and bigoted actions. Racial division in Malaysia today emanates from one source only and that is Umno.
Surely it was the fact that people of different races and religions were willing to unite which resulted in the unprecedented gains for the Opposition in the Mar 8 elections. In fact, the races have never been more united in Malaysian history.
Yes, there is a long way to go, but there has been a palpable sea of change. Race relations only apparently ‘deteriorate’ when Umno instigates it using the media, religious government authorities and the police. The recent ISA arrests of 3 individuals under the pretext of national security and race relations were utterly disingenuous and could only be described as a synthetic charade.
When Dr Mahathir took over power, he emphasised Ketuanan Melayu. Racial division became the modus operandi of BN during his tenure. It was Dr Mahathir who in fact gloated that Umno could rule Malaysia without non-Malay support. So much for promoting racial harmony and Bangsa Malaysia.
Dr Mahathir inculcated the idea that non-Malays must accept the discrimination in the country if they wanted to prosper and live peacefully.
He rewrote Malaysian history, selectively applied the 1957 constitution and encouraged a racist agenda in the civil service reinforced by institutions such as Biro Tatanegara. Nevermind if the majority of the Umno bigwigs were not pure Malay, as long as they claimed to be Malay and were recognised as such, they could be leaders.
It explains why Dr Mahathir, whose Indian ancestors came to Malaysia little over 100 years ago, could volubly claim to be ‘indigenous’ but yet consider Baba Chinese in Melaka who have been here for almost 600 years as orang asing.
This is ‘Mahathirism’ in short – a Machiavellian ploy to exploit race and religion for financial gain and power. Dr Mahathir is shameless in his duplicity and the only reason why he was able to succeed was because he was a leader of a feudally minded people who were economically and educationally backward. His Machiavellian psychological ploy was to engender a tongkat mentality in the Malay community to make them loyal to Umno.
Dr Mahathir was able to bring about a semblance of unity and economic progress during his tenure due to his dictatorial grip on all institutions of governance. He was willing to share the wealth with the leaders of BN component parties as long as they acquiesced to his Ketuanan Melayu stipulation. It is no surprise that MCA and MIC leaders became immensely rich but had to sell out their communities as part of the deal.
It was only a matter of time that we would see Mahathirism unravel because it was based on a lie and was becoming economically, socially and politically untenable. Anwar Ibrahim’s sacking was a symptom of this. This led to the haemorrhage of support from Umno to PAS and PKR.
In order the stem the loss, Dr Mahathir, the arch secularist in a cynical and unconstitutional manner, declared Malaysia an ‘Islamic state’ to steal the thunder, as it were, from PAS. This further divided Malaysian communities as there was now a rivalry between PAS and Umno for Islamic credentials leaving non-Muslims confounded and alienated.
Badawi’s team saw this as an opportunity to wrest power from Dr Mahathir and seduced the rakyat with promises to end Mahathrism i.e. crony politics, police corruption, judicial corruption and religious and racial polarisation. The gullible rakyat responded by giving BN and Umno an unprecedented level of support in the 2004 elections. However, Abdullah squandered this opportunity to reform governance in Malaysia by reneging on his promises.
The overwhelming support seemed to make Umno even more arrogant to the extent that it actually put into practise the notion that it did not need other parties or communities to rule. This explains the arrogant and politically naive rhetoric by Khairy Jamaluddin about Penang needing a Malay chief minister, the brandishing of the keris by Hishamuddin Hussein at the Umno general assembly, the demolition of a Chinese temple in Penang and the escalation in Hindu temple demolitions.
We recall that at the Umno conference which was held on Deepavali day, a delegate had the audacity to say that the temple issue was a ‘small matter’. Khairy then went on to make his infamous speech about Indian news vendors “who controlled the business” not distributing his father-in-law’s speech because they chose to go on holiday. This was just the tip of the iceberg of a cumulative set of events from 2004 till now which have left Malaysians feeling bitterly short-changed and cheated by Abdullah.
I personally believe that Umno is not capable of reform under Abdullah, a man who has never been known to stand for anything other than being a ‘Mr Nice Guy’. His promises for reform were at best well intentioned. The landslide win in 2004 made Umno think that they already had a winning formula and so why rock the boat and change?
Well, Mar 8 saw the rakyat waking up and bringing about change which they had been yearning for. The multiracial opposition smashed the psychological two-thirds majority of BN without any violent racial conflagration as a consequence.
It was a cathartic event for all Malaysians. It demolished the self -serving Mahathir mantra that a two-thirds majority was required for political stability. In fact, people began for the first time to see BN majority rule as a liability.
Umno does not appear to have learnt anything . It still behaves like a ‘one man show’ when it cannot afford to do so. MIC and MCA are lame duck parties which are incresingly seeing the wisdom of distancing themselves from Abdullah’s Umno, which arrogantly pushed them aside when they won with a landslide in 2004.
Umno is now riddled with hopeless division and scrambling for power that it does not seem to realise that it is weak and needs to build up multi- racial support, otherwise it is as good as dead in the long run.
The current irrational actions by Umno to arrest people under ISA under bogus excuses betrays a pathetic mindset which sees the Malays as tools to be manipulated for Umno’s own self-serving ends.
Malays know that it was an Umno warlord who uttered racist comments against the Chinese, yet the journalist who reported it was arrested. Malays now know that Khir Toyo’s allegations were the pretext for Teresa Kok’s ISA incarceration. The mosque in question has categorically said that Teresa was not involved in the azan petition and that the low volume of the azan was due to a technical fault.
Malays know from reading Raja Petra Kamarudin’s blog that he has always stood for justice and Islamic values. The arrests have further undermined Abdullah. It would appear that Abdullah’s administration is in complete disarray and this is in no small way is due to his utter incompetence.
To be fair to Abdullah, he inherited the rot which Dr Mahathir had set in motion. I would go as far as to say that Dr Mahathir is to be blamed for all the nonsense we are witnessing now. Abdullah’s fault lies in his inability to reform Mahathirism.
Malaysia and Umno needs Mahathir now like the proverbial hole in the head.
Still believe in this evil mamak Kutty? A prostitute sneering at another prostitute (AAB?) and still claims to be a virgin (uncorrupted?)?
How long more would he try to deceive us?

ISA must not be used against political dissidents. RPK and many others are voicing the discontent of the Rakyat after 50 years of government corruption, misdeeds and plundering of the nations wealth. It is the right of every Malaysian to demand changes for the betterment of the country. RPK stands for the ‘truth’. His beliefs and sense of justice cuts across all race and religion. To detain RPK under the ISA is nothing short of chaining the whole Rakyat under ISA as well.

During the rise of communism, people who were following the capitalist ideology were arrested in the Soviet Union, China, North Vietnam, Cuba and the communist block countries without trials.
Arresting Malaysians under ISA without trials is tantamount to communism. Umno supporting bn component parties, if you don’t support communism, then call for the abolishment of ISA and the release of all ISA detainees and charge them under the appropriate laws if they have committed any crime. You have been elected to be lawmakers and not lawbreakers.

i agree with shar too. just sign! i don’t see why all the fuss over the last sentence as charles hector pointed out. i’m all for the abolishment of ISA and i signed it without hesitation.
prior to putting this post up, haris had already gave some good explanation about this petition in another post. you should all read it then for god’s sake – SIGN! haris usually don’t do things… i mean encouraging us to do something, like signing this petition… without thinking hard first, without weighing the pros, cons, without thinking what you guys might think, thus he had so kindly came out with the explanation first. oh well i guess still there will be some who disagree with haris and thus do not wish to sign the petition… up to you.
to confuse you guys further, there had been another petition which was up several months ago, addressed to the UN human rights commission – sign it!
btw i’m surprised not many people know who lim teck ghee is. he was formerly a director of ASLI. he made big news sometime back (1 or 2 years?) when his finding on the NEP saying the 30% bumi equity had long been achieved and he was fired right left and centre and in the end due to principles, he resigned from ASLI.as haris said, he is one of the finest anak bangsa malaysia – i fully agree!

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 IN.
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.
Now go figure.

If they are genuine and loyal to RPK we would have atleast a million signatures. Or is it after eating the kacang and throwing the shell far away and then stepping on it.
Or perhaps their balls have shrunk when RPK has been asked to provide info who the commentators are??
Real charlatan lizard which changes colours. A fake..thats why ppls say empty vessel makes the loudest noise..farting away thats all. Oh poor RPK where are they now when you need them the most. A test of loyalty.
I knew you not nor Haris yet given you the number 4011. Seen both of you from afar but liked your ways and dedication in your fight against tyranny and Bangsa Malaysia.

JOHOR BARU : The Internal Security Act will not be reviewed or repealed for now, said Home Minister Datuk Syed Hamid Albar. He Said such preventive laws still needed for the people to live in peace and security.
– What he meant to say is that ‘People” ie corrupt politician and cronies need ISA to protect their interest. RPK as a dutiful Malaysian revealing corruptions and incompetence of the government is being detained under ISA however at no time did RPK incite violence or create a national security incident. Therefore the “people” Home Minister is referring to, must be the corrupt politician and cronies that need ISA for peace and security.
However, he said a review could take place “when the time was right”
– What he meant was that at present the government do not have answers to the many corruptions and injustice that were revealed by RPK. Therefore the time is not right.
Asked about various ministers speaking out against the Act, he said they were entitled to their “own views”
– What he meant was that although Malaysia is a democratic country, UMNO has the final say. UMNO can do what they like and when they like. The voice of the rakyat and their elected MPs are irrelevant.
So there you have it…… his statement can only be logical in the above context.

Halal also means NO corruption, NO Bias, NO triple standards, NO illegal imterests charged by most banks, NO propre records kept, Not just adhereing to strict religious laws BUT also tolerance for others. well the list is endless, i think the message is transmitted. Have laws without any ethnic, religious, class,status, colour, creed bias

Sensitive issues or not, Malaysians will simply have to learn to confront the issues head on. Lets be clear about one thing here!! The Gomen had used the I.S.A. to abuse innocent individuals. Anger beyond words, I’d say YES to the immediate abolishment of the I.S.A.

Dear PM,
Putting RPK and other detainees and keeping them under the cloak of ISA is not helping you neither is it helping we malaysians who dearly want to see some changes since you took over from the tyrant DMahathir.
Help us to breath freely void of the strangling clout of ISA which, believe me, is not a Malaysian Culture.
We will love you all the more for this kind gesture.
Hidup Malaysia!

To all fellow Malaysians who yearn for the release of our beloved warrior,
You must understand that Pete put his life on the ropes in the hope of improving the nation for all of us and this should not be how we re-pay his honourable deeds. Everyone seems to be making a big fuss about hitting at least 20K by tomorrow but looking at the bigger picture, we hardly hit 0.2% of the total hitters. We need to step up the campaign and get the awareness out to our colleagues, neighbours, families and friends to contribute to this cause and to further spread the information out to their colleagues, neighbours, families and friends as well.
We shouldn’t be thinking twice about supporting Pete’s devotion to OUR nation and let us all show how much we support, love and adore Pete, Marina & the family.
God Bless and may the good LORD open your eyes, ears & heart.

This is a very cruel job of the government….please release Raja Petra..the man has done so much for the country and has kept the people and the nation not only in Malaysia but all over the world about the truth and information of what is currently happening in Malaysia. His family needs him….I say a prayer every night just before I sleep for my friend Raja Petra hoping that when I open my eyes in the morning, there would be good news to my ears. Which you know what….

Please release Raj Petra . Without Raja Petra I would have not known What Malaysia is and who Malaysian’s are and Where Malaysians are. I Love You Raja Petra for all the information you have written in your Blog. Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err. It passes my comprehension how human beings, be they ever so experienced and able, can delight in depriving other human beings of that precious right.

Resign Syed Hamid
KJ John | Sep 23, 08 1:43pm
It’s absolutely unacceptable.
That is how I feel, and that is how surely the former law minister felt – before resigning. Any individual with the requisite moral courage and conviction about human dignity and democracy would do the same.
Therefore, with due respect to our Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar -who happens to also be a lawyer by training – it is he who should resign because he does not understand the spirit of the ISA and is therefore only practicing and propagating rule by law.
Steve Ong
September 23, 2008
Free RPK, Free Hindraf 5, Free All Detainees!
The Internal Security Act under Article 149 of the Malaysian Constitution permits the detention, at the discretion of the Home Minister, without charge or trial of any person in respect of whom the Home Minister was satisfied that such detention was necessary.
A week ago, we have witnessed yet again, the abuse of the ISA in the case of the detention of Raja Petra Kamarudin – Editor of Malaysia Today, Tan Hoon Cheng – Journalist, Sin Chew Jit Poh and Teresa Kok Suh Sim – Member of Parliament, Seputeh.
To demonstrate stand on the abolishment of the ISA and to show our solidarity and support with all ISA detainees and their families, we are organising a forum with invited speakers with details as follows:
Date: 23 Sep 2008 (Tue)
Time: 8:00 pm
Venue: KL & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall, Jln Maharajalela, Kuala Lumpur
Admission is Free; Bring Friends
The panel of Distinguished Speakers include:
* Lim Guan Eng, Penang Chief Minister, DAP MP Bagan, ADUN Air Itam
* Teresa Kok, Selangor State Exco, DAP MP Seputeh/ADUN Kinrara
* A. Sivanesan, Perak State Exco, DAP ADUN Sungkai
* Khalid Samad, PAS MP Shah Alam
* Nurul Izzah binti Anwar, PKR MP Lembah Pantai
* Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, Bar Council President
* Syed Ibrahim Syed Noh, Chairman of Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA (GMI)
Moderator: Teo Nie Ching, DAP MP Serdang
The wives of some of the current ISA detainees, Raja Petra Kamaruddin, M Manoharan (DAP ADUN Kota Alam Shah) and V Ganabathirao will be present and be given an opportunity to speak. We should all be there to give the all the moral support we can! Forward to all your friends!
Abolish ISA or Abolish BN!

A need for change in our nation. I have sign up as well. I believe that the government need to stop looking at their own “position” and “power”. ISA has failed the nation. ISA has taken away the ‘freedom of speech’. Our celebration of the 51st Independence should be more meaningful. Free the ISA detainees
LeeEuGene
September 23, 2008
RPK must be freed. ISA should be abolished. Its accountability is rotting further away. Reasons for ISA detainees being detained is the joke of this century.
1) Wheres the freedom of speech? – ISA detained RPK
2) Detained of false report made by people and blogs by Khir Toyo and utusan? – Teresa Kok was detained – freed
3) Best of all headline ” ISA detained reporter Tan for her safety” – freed ….. ISA becoming bodyguard ……holding ppls safety puting them in confinement?…BASELESS and NONSENSE.
I support the realease for all ISA detainees and ISA to be abolished

LATEST BOLEHLAND JOKE OF ALL TIMES!!!
A MALE PRISONER IS NOT ALLOWED TO BE HUGGED BY HIS WIFE…APPARENTLY, THIS IS BREAKING THE PRISON’S RULES! HUGGING is considered “kelakuan tak senonoh” improper or unbecoming behavior….
there is no place like bolehland….
what kind of mentality do they have?…
this is totally out of this world…
the KDC must be demolished and replaced by a polo-ground like the one in Penang, if you know what i mean..
this latest episode goes to show that bolehland is still in the 1930s….or even earlier…
wtf is wrong with hugging btwn a husband n a wife????
this is unbelievable!…..the one who set this rule must have grown up eating shit!!!! and his brain is full of shit!!!!!

I drove from Prai to Penang using the Penang Bridge today at 1.00pm and back to Prai at 3.15pm…sad to note that I did NOT see a single car switching ON the headlight…except me…guess I am the lone-ranger eh.
Whatever the case may be, I am still looking forward to getting my hands on a “FREE RPK” tees and/or cap.
Anyone out there who can help me out???
FREE RPK + ALL ISA DETAINEES…NOW or latest by BY SEPT 30, 2008 for him to celebrate Hari Raya, like all of you Muslims out there….HOPEFULLY AAB/BOTAK WILL STEP DOWN ON THAT DAY…or latest by OCT 09, 2008.

Come on man! Every thing the righteous Rakyats do are wrong but what the Barisan followers do are always right. Even their wrong doings do not have to be charged under ISA. All the innocents e.g. RPK has to be put in under ISA.
To me this is plainly abuse of POWER given to the ruling government with no respect to the citizens who voted for BN
So, next election, I guess even the monkeys will run away when approached by BN.
