I fear that my friend will be driven to court tomorrow only to see dwindling numbers of friends there to greet him.
I fear that this will break his heart and break his spirit.
Over the next few days, please make time to come out to the PJ courts and give back a little to this man who has given so much for us.
I am begging.

Haris, you are a true friend and you really care.
Please don’t make me cry again, I just did seeing him handcuffed and brought to court this morning.

I can’t make it tomorrow nor the day after, Haris, but on Thursday or Friday, I’ll be there with a mutual friend. Looking forward to seeing Pete…and you.
Keep the fire burning.

I am begging too! SMS Haris message to everybody, asking them to be at the PJ Court when RPK arrives, even if it’s only for a few minutes. RPK once said “I, for one, am ready to stand by my Chinese & Indian comrades. So, let Umno be warned”. I’m sure he will also stand for other Bangsa Malaysia. And now, are we ready to stand by him in his battle?? Your many presence will show him that his battle is not in vain. So, I’m begging to those who can make it, PLEASE DO IT FOR RPK and on behalf of those afar.
THANK YOU.

Thank you Harris. You are such a great person.Did you see the irony!!!Somebody is having the last laugh! He managed to successfully bring his two greatest enemies to the doorstep of the court on the same day. I like to err on the wrong side Harris. Knowing the crafty nature of bn I wonder if we could win both these cases. May God help us.

With respect Haris, someone like you does not have to beg I’m sure.
People know who you are and who RPK is and what it is that you and RPK are fighting for.
So I am sure those who can will be there to offer support to RPK in person, and those who can’t I am sure will do so in spirit.
I know it must be hard to be doing what RPK is doing but nevertheless, I am glad that there is an RPK and a Haris out there to do what needs to be done.
Take care, God bless and for whatever it is worth, I will light a candle every night this week for RPK and for all aaBM.

Have no fear. Justice will prevail. RPK was taunting the authorities to charge him and he had said he will reveal all in court. We just have to wait for the prosecution to put him on the stand and the TRUTH will be revealed. He has been longing for this opportunity. We need only to be patient.

Haris,
just in case you wonder if there is enough attention in the international media, be rest assured that THERE IS.
there has been quite a lot of commentary in places like CNN, AP which covered RPK’s detention.
Links like this: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article.cfm?c_id=5&objectid=10536164
the challenge is whether they are actually able to do anything about it. they can’t tell a sovereign nation what to do, unless they had to bring up sanctions and trade restrictions which everybody will suffer.

One word stung,`pengecut’ – we can be vociferous within the safety of our comfort zone, discuss eloquently with our friends. When it comes to showing up at a court, many turned away. Sad sad. Please be there, no one can be hauled into jail for being at court. But for RPK, our presence can keep his spirit up.PJ Sessions Court – this week.

u or RPK need not to beg… The BN-UMNO government is the one who need to beg for forgiveness for using such ISA to the Rakyat who fight for democracy and human rights…
Damn the BN government…send all of them to hell…

Unfortunately, many M’sians still fear the govt and the police-they fear that turning up means they’ll be blackmarked, and lose their jobs or their children lose future opportunities. The support is there, but there’s a long way to go to turn that support into something more concrete. Maybe it is a huge cultural step, I don’t know, but I know small numbers don’t mean people don’t care.
If I was in KL, I would be there, but hell, I’m not even in malaysia.

Find it rather odd that those who treasure freedom and justice, needed to be coaxed. True believers, this is your opportunity to show your beliefs,”Put your money where your mouth is.”
We may not get a second chance. RPK has made great sacrifices and endure pains for us. Is’nt he worth all our trouble?
So Anak Bangsa Malaysia, be at the PJ session court, that is the least we can do.

Haris – You make me feel so bad for not being there…. I wish I could. Most supporters, as I, wouldn’t desert RPKs cause for anything.
Although the numbers do matter a lot to giving RPK moral support, Let not the numbers alone be a measure of our support Haris!
Rest assured that many more would be there if they could, and aren’t really absent becos they are “chicken”. The Time, work/ commitments make it difficult – but of course, it is still noble to be there as you and our other heroes make it a point to do.
The attack on RPK is two-pronged – one is thru detention, the other thru “psy-ops” in MT.
Support for MT is vital to show the support towards RPK.
Call me paranoid if you must, but I feel that there are many “psy-ops” in MT these days.
The objective is to cut down the MT appeal thru prolonged detention, and to support MT is to support RPK.
Hope the support for MT means something …..

Can anyone get a message thru to RPK that he does have many, many friends and supporters but a lot are all over the country and overseas and whilst they can’t be there to support him in person their thoughts and prayers are always with him. The fire he has lit in our hearts will never die.

Sam my friend,
Some of the greatest struggles began from within the prison walls…Gandhi, Nehru, Mandela, Steve Biko, Guan Eng, Saudara Anwar and the list goes on. History has proven that the corrupt and unjust will meet their fiery end.
Samy Velly arrogantly declared that it would take an army to stop him in Sungai Siput. He was right, it took an army…an army of the people, the makkal.
You are brave and I can feel the fire in your belly. God bless

Have you ever wonder one person like RPK can bring threat to the regime of authoring, undemocratic, unfreedom of to voice out and unrighteousness of the elites in the government chairs.
It is not RPK but the people on the whole of the Malaysia that pour out the whole bundle of information to him. He is a mere information dissimilation of the people. No wonder his is deeply to be adored and praise. He dares to channel the rightfully and just information pertaining of the corruption and unholy of certain cabinet and ministers abusing their authority and power.
But the fact is that we Malaysia are the one that detest the position power of the current ruling and yet abhorred to also to the governing policy but did not dare to show out our intent. What a cowardice we are as a totality of the majority. Some we just hide in the clothes of our hope and sent someone to venture thru our anticipation.
We must rise up and put thru our own aspiration by mean of our own action. If one of us can rise up and everyone make sacrifice to the development of our nation and what we want our future generation to improve we make effort to clear the clothed of uncertainty and wax out our feeling in truth and spirit.
If 60 people can mold it way out to support RPK I am sure 600 people can made a commitment to rampage the court place to give support, encouragement and exaltation to see that the unpleasant victor of ours be crush to sentence. Then the question is where are the 6,000 people that have the same feeling but dare not show it in the assurance presence.
The end has come we must show our strength as “rakyat” rather than watching nothing happen…

Haris,
I was there at 11 am today. Saw about 15 people standing outside. I asked someone if Haris was around. He said you were inside. I asked if I could go in. He said the court was packed! I could only get in if someone came out. I hung around until 11.30 and left for a meeting at 12. Perhaps you should have a visitors book to record the people who turn up!

Haris,
I am extremely disheartened and disappointed with Malaysians. Malaysia will never see true change, when individuals like Raja Petra and Uthayakumar who stand up against discrimination, corruption, murder and abuse of power do not get the support they require to carry on on our behalf. So disappointed am I, that I am thinking seriously of returning to Malaysia for good in the next couple of years, so that I can lend myself as a supporter who is physically available to make up the numbers. All those virtual supporters of RPK in the internet are only good at blogging and commenting. When it comes to action, they disappear into the clouds of the world wide web.

Dear Haris
It breaks my heart to see you beg. There are a lot of RPK supporters. However, some are just to chicken shit to come out while some really cannot make it. If it was in Penang, I promise I will be there and I am pretty sure several of my friends will be there too. We are die hard RPK supporters. Even though I cannot be there like the many Penangites, we will be at the candlelight virgils. I promise also to talk to my friends about RPK’s fight for all by email, personal talks and SMSes. Managed to convinced 2 so far but hope to do more. Please tell RPK that he will not be forgotten.
And Haris, you are also my hero. Friends like you are hard to come by and I wish you are my friend too.

As Harris said, Think of RPK who has given so much to us and our country but the only way we can show our gratitude is to attend the court proceedings or just be around there to assure him that he is not alone in his struggle. Please don’t give all sorts of excuses. If we want, we can find ways and means to be there with him at the court. KALAU HENDAK SERIBU DAYA, KALAU TAK HENDAK SERIBU DALIH.

Haris, howdee
Am here to offer some good cheers:
3***** cheers for RPK!
3**** cheers for Haris!
3*** cheers for the very*** bestest of members of the RAKYAT who were there inside and outside the courthouse yesterday and today and who will all surely, be there tomorrow too and also on the days after to staunchly support and cheer-up RPK, the People’s Pahlawan!
3** cheers to all those e-mailing and writing and blogging to raise good awareness in the RAKYAT and in others about the very bad man-made ISA which is totally inhuman and immoral and so is ultra vires the Constitution and God’s natural universal law of justice and consequently must therefore, logically, also be unISLAMIC, unCHRISTIAN, unHINDU, unBUDDHIST, unZOROASTRIAN, unJEWISH, unBAHAI, unetc.etc.etc.!
3* cheers also to all the others who are doing other small but still very important active stuff like wearing the right t-shirts to support RPK and the good fight for justice to repeal the cruel ISA and free RPK and the other 63 ISA detainees!
AND POINTEDLY:
NO CHEERS AT ALL FOR YOU MAD BAD SHA!
WE SAY YEAH!
AND HARIS FOR AG & RPK FOR IGP!

Haris,
I am there in spirit and following this closely from Australia. I have sent RPK a postcard last week. Am not sure if they will give it to him but I’ll follow up with another one soon. THanks for all your work. PLease assure RPK (and this goes for all other ISA detainees) that there are those of us who care. Tell him to hang in there.

RPK TRIAL – FREE ADMISSION. ALL WELCOME!
Hi friends of RPK,
Some of you might be hesitant to come for the trial thinking that it is some sort of picking. No, it is nothing like that. You just need to help to fill up the gallery when there is vacancy. Basically to show our full force behind RPK.
You can actually go in and out during the proceeding. No body is going to hold up for the full proceeding.
Even if you can spare a short 1/2 hr will be wonderful to relieve some of them in the gallery.
Please reminder it is not about trial of RPK, but rather press freedom, accountability, multi-racialism, anti-corruption,human rights, interfaith, ….. etc is on trial. RPK has become the voice of the people. He has sacrificed at the expense of his personal liberty.
Should we just lie back at this crucial hours. WAKE UP!
Let’s rally behind him.

Thanks for the wake-up call, Haris! My hubby and I were there this morning, on our way to work. Finally got to meet Puan Marina and the great man himself! A tad disappointed about not having had the chance to see you, though. Anyway, it was excellent to see Puan Marina in good spirits and RPK smiling, though he’s lost much weight. We wish them well.
