Update 2 : Marina, RPK and I waited at the hotel lobby from 5 – 5.30pm. No cops. We’re off to dinner.
_______________________________________
Update : Amarjit has been receiving sms’s from Hamid of the Malaysian embassy to say that the cops are still waiting to take RPK’s statement at the embassy.
At 1.26pm Bangkok time today, I sent the following sms to Hamid : Salam. Engku n i will be at the lobby of siam city hotel at 5pm to give his statement to ACP Aziz. Tq
___________________________________________
Yesterday evening, RPK and I spoke at an event organised at the Florida Hotel in Bangkok by some Malaysians who now reside in Thailand.
The objective : to see if the seed of the Thailand or Bangkok chapter of the Malaysian Civil Liberties Movement might not be planted.
In the audience, however, was an individual who, as events that unfolded later suggest, was there for a very different agenda.
Just before the talk kicked off at 6pm Bangkok time, I was introduced to one Encik Abdul Hamid bin Bulat of the Malaysian Embassy here in Bangkok. I was to find out a little later that he had earlier spoken to RPK to say that police from Bukit Aman were waiting at the embassy to take his statement, and that he was there to ferry RPK to the embassy immediately after the talk. As to what the statement related to, upon my discussion with RPK, Marina and Amarjit later, was also a matter of some contradiction.
It seems that when Hamid spoke to RPK, he had said that the statement sought by the police was in relation to the statutory declaration made by RPK in 2008. Yet, when Amarjit inquired as to the matter under investigation for which the statement was sought, Hamid replied that he did not know the details.
This, we only discovered much later in the wee hours of this morning.
Amarjit and I were most uncomfortable with the idea of RPK going to the embassy to give his statement.
Meanwhile, even before the talk began, both Amarjit and I were receiving calls and sms’s from people back home saying that there was already media news that RPK was to be questioned at the embassy. There were also rumours flying around that he had been, or would be, arrested.
Both Amarjit and I tried to dissuade RPK from going to the embassy, suggesting that the police could come to the hotel to take his statement where we would both also be present.
We voiced our concerns that the embassy, in international law deemed as Malaysian soil, we feared that this whole business of taking his statement there was a ruse to get him in there, effect an arrest and then, with or without the aid of the local authorities, have him repatriated back to Kamunting.
RPK, seemingly believing that the statement sought was in the furtherance of investigations into the individual or individuals named in his recent interview aired over TV3, was quite determined to attend at the embassy to give his statement.
During Q&A, one of those in attendance also urged RPK not to attend at the embassy.
“If you go there, they will arrest you,” , he said.
After the talk, as we were adjourning to dinner with those who had attended the talk, a heated argument broke out between RPK, on the one side, and Marina, amarjit and I on the other.
We did not want him to go to the embassy. He was being his usual, stubborn self.
The argument carried into the dining hall and was clearly noticed by quite a few of the 40 or so who had attended the talk and the dinner.
To these folk, I apologise.
Amarjit threatened that if he insisted on going to the embassy, he would have nothing more to do with RPK.
Marina said if he was going, she was booking her flight out of Bangkok that very night.
Finally, RPK relented.
The four of us went up to Hamid and. RPK told him that he was ready to go to the embassy but Marina, Amarjit and I were not agreeable to this and he left it to Hamid to persuade us otherwise. I told Hamid that nothing he could say would persuade us away from our stand. I informed him that Amarjit and I had advised RPK and that he had acceded to our advice not to attend at the embassy. We said that RPK would give his full co-operation and his statement to the police at the hotel where he and Marina were staying.
Hamid said he would head back to the embassy and bring the police officers to the hotel.
With that, RPK, Marina, Amarjit and I headed back to the hotel.
Round about 10.15pm, Hamid, ACP Aziz and another officer who introduced himself as Tony were at the hotel. Tony, I was informed later, is a police officer attached with the embassy.
RPK, Amarjit and I met them in the hotel lobby.
The police were trying to persuade that the statement be given at the embassy. They raised questions about the inadmissibility in court if the statement were not taken in the embassy. I responded that we would undertake to not take such objection and the same could be included in the statement to be given.
Both Aziz and Hamid gave assurances that RPK would be released after the statement was taken. Amarjit and I said we were not comforted by their assurances and were not persuaded to advise RPK to attend at the embassy to give his statement.
I inquired of Aziz as to the nature of the offence being investigated for which a statement was sought from RPK.
He replied that it was for an offence under section 203 of the Penal Code.
I asked what that was.
He started to get sassy and said surely we as lawyers knew what that was.
I said I did not know what it was.
Aziz then said it was in relation to a false statement.
I inquired whether this related to a statement made in the course of the TV3 interview or the statutory declaration made by RPK in 2008.
At this point, officer Tony made some remark about ungentlemanly conduct.
There was a harsh exchange.
Amarjit then asked to see the police report made on which the current investigation was premised.
Aziz offered to show us the report at the embassy if we would all headed out there.
Both Amarjit and I immediately accepted the offer, but stipulated that RPK would remain behind at the hotel whilst the 2 of us would go to the embassy to view the contents of the police report.
Aziz now tried to do a u-turn.
We pressed to see the police report to enable us to advise RPK if it was safe to attend at the embassy.
Finally, Aziz relented.
I sent RPK up to his room and told him that he was under house arrest and that Mother Superior Marina was not going to let him out of her sight.
We got to the embassy a little after 11pm.
It was here that we were informed that Aziz did not have a copy of the police report and that was awaiting a copy to be faxed from KL.
This was the first serious confirmation for both Amarjit and I that the this whole business of wanting to take RPK’s statement at the embassy was a ruse to facilitate some other agenda.
Why would the investigating officer come all the way to Bangkok to question a witness to a possible crime and not have a copy of the police report with him?
The whole thing stank.
About an hour later, both Amarjit and I were shown the police report.
After reading it, I asked Aziz again whether the alleged false statement the subject-matter of the investigation was in the TV3 interview or the statutory declaration.
Aziz started raving and ranting about ‘giving and inch and now asking for a whole mile’.
I told him that we would go back to the hotel, discuss with RPK and inform Hamid as to RPK’s decision.
Back at the hotel just before 1am, Amarjit and I discussed the contents of the police report and advised RPK and Marina accordingly.
I called Hamid who passed the phone to Aziz.
I informed Aziz that RPK was ready to give his statement to the police and that we would be happy to meet him at the hotel in the morning at 11am.
“Erm, tak payahlah”, was his response.
The call ended.
Now RPK called and spoke to Aziz and reiterated what i had said earlier.
Same response, save and except that Aziz now blamed what was a most unproductive conclusion to his trip to Thailand to two good for nothing lawyers.
Strange that an officer of PDRM should travel all the way to Thailand to take a statement, not from the accused but a witness, and one willing to give the same, but now refused to do so unless the witness was willing to step into little Malaysia.
Was it a statement from the witness that was sought, or the presence of the witness on ‘Malaysian soil’ in Thailand?
Amarjit, Marina and I are convinced that this whole business of attending at the embassy to give his statement was a hare-brained scheme by idiots back home to lure RPK onto ‘Malaysian soil’ as a first step to repatriation back to Kamunting, whether through means foul or fair.
I half suspect that RPK, now, sees it too.

Harris, It is more than obvious that RPK is not experienced in the darker side of Malaysian politics. It was more than obvious that this was a ploy to get RPK on “Malaysian soil” where the implementation of the ISA can be effected to its fullest. Political shrewdness is not his strong point, he is more a showman which is quite evident in his interviews where he is more a showman than an astute politician. How is MCLM to make a mark in Malaysian politics?
Notwithstanding the above, bro keep the good work up.

April 24, 2011
Brian, well said. RPK has no experience whatsoever in being politically savvy. He’s just a vigilante without a cause.
Having said that, Harris should know better than to go out on a limb to come to the aid of RPK.
Be warned Harris, you are putting your integrity on the line by doing this.

No question of putting integrity on the line by doing this. To the contrary, a lawyer who advised his client in that particular circumstances to go on and give statement at the embassy would be the one putting his integrity on the line.

You think Malaysia is so nice to stay that everyone wants to come back. A lot of Malaysian wanted to migrant but with funds, they cannot do so. And so many Malaysians in Western countries refuse to come home. You think you can play with police. Even the possibilities of going to jail will put anyone off not coming back. It is better to have your freedom anywhere else in the world than have your freedom taken away. Even the slightest possibilities is not worth it.

Better take care of RPK as he may be kidnapped (even in the UK) and sprinted back to Malaysia. RPK, your stubbornness may be your downfall. Next time, think ten times and then ask for advice before you act. Remember that you carry the dreams of all Malaysians to fight for a just and equal Malaysia. Don’t let our dreams be shattered by your stubbornness.

Haris,
You and I know that the police will NEVER investigate if it is going to put those in corridors of power behind bars. There open investigations to nab those who stand against UMNO.
We have seen it all – Bala’s SD, Submarine deals and Anwar’s report aginst the book “100 reasons why Anwar cannot become PM”.
Finally it as Anwar who got in hot water, not the writer.
In the first place RPK was stupid to grant TV3 an interview and even more supid to grant the police a QA session even in the hotel. He should just have ignored them.
I dont not why RPK is getting more and more senile these days that he had to fight to go to the embassy and risk being deported or even thrown off the building.
HE SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POLICE!!!

The police were not interested in any statement, as we can all see. They just wanted some evidence that could be produced in court to nail him.

Why go the extra mile Haris, to defend something that is already a liability at present?

When the police start an investigation immediately, it is to nab people like people like you and RPK. If it involves UMNO, police will go to sleep and do nothing.
Just look at the sex video report.Nothing done to the trio datuks until today. This is Police diRaja UMNO not PDRM.
For heaven sake avoid the police like you avoid a leper. Even a leper can be touched, not the police.

Wtf is happening to the ‘People’s Parliament’ these days??
Is it now becoming ‘RPK’s Parliament’?
Honestly, I just want to say many of us are sick of this RPK drama (RPK says Rosmah not involved, Haris says TV3 spin, RPK goes to Thailand, Haris says dont go to embassy and on and on and on).
Can you start a new blog please, Haris, suitably titled ‘The RPK Files’, something like the X-Files, where you can detail on your Batman and Robin adventures with RPK all you want there? Then we don’t have to sift through the RPK muck here to find your social commentary gem pieces.
Can we have your solid socio-political issues-centred articles here on People’s Parliament once again, please?
Thank you!

I agree that People’s Parliament should not become RPK’s Parliament. The way I see it, MCLM is spiralling towards becoming an RPK Fan Club. I wonder what those noble people like Malik Imtiaz Sarwar are thinking right now about the direction of this meek organization.
Having said that, I am very disturbed by the alarming silence of the other MCLM candidates on this issue. I am sure they have been either gagged and not allowed to comment publicly about their personal view. Or better still, their so called thoughts will be channel by MCLM’s PR division.

Ain’t the police stupid. Statements taken from witnesses or accused are always inadmissible u/d the CPC, wherever it is taken. Witness goes to court and gives oral evidence. In crt such statements are only used to impeach the credit of the witness/accused.
At least the Macc was a bit smarter. In the Bala’s case, they posed certain questions and asked Bala to make his own statement. This is better than having it recorded by the authorities. For sure, there is no inducement, threats or promise when you voluntarily make yr own statement. Amarjit shld know this since he was involved in the Bala’s case. He shld tell that stupid police officer Aziz.

RPK fans just love drama.
The way they go “Ooh!”, “Aaah!” and “Oh thank goodness Haris and Amarjit saved him!”, it’s amazing.
Instead of working the ground to get people out to vote…
Instead of helping register unregistered voters…
Instead of delivering talks and writing a series of articles to persuade people to vote against BN…
Instead of all this, Haris and MCLM are distracting the rakyat big time by being taking them on a police-and-RPK action film FOR WHAT PURPOSE, may we know?
Why is RPK being treated as if he so precious, more precious than the ordinary, suffering rakyat who need to be convinced to vote based on solid issues?
What is it really that RPK can do that’s so magical to change the system that the voting rakyat cannot do?
Does Haris really think that RPK can magically make the large BN voting bloc suddenly vote for opposition?
Haris, tell us.
All this attention and resources of the people directed to this RPK drama instead of on bread-and-butter issues to convince the voters…
What for, honestly?
How will it help achieve the objective of beating BN in the next general elections?
How do you expect people like us to support and donate to MCLM?
One big worry is that RPK admires Mahathir.
How can we not view with suspicious anyone who admires Mahathir, the ultimate evil tyrant of Malaysia?
Haris, you I know have clearly made your strong anti-Mahathir position. You, Haris, we all trust. But RPK… we don’t want this fella, really.
Instead of wishing RPK well, I want to wish Haris well. Take good care bro, stay safe, don’t get into trouble. Come home quickly if you can. We Malaysians still need you. You have a big purpose to play.

I agree with Sarah. I hope that bro Haris would come back and lead the charge towards change. He should not be embroiled in this sort of fiasco.
This was another reason why I was far too skeptical to be a part of MCLM.
Haris, you are discouraging many other worthy candidates by getting involved with RPK and his antics.
Please return home and take helm of MCLM. If possible, make MCLM independent of RPK. I am certain this will change the perception of many plausible candidates out there.

Can you imagine the damage its credibility is taking?
Some people are pinning great hopes on MCLM.
I know talented and capable friends who have been mulling about doing something with MCLM.
But they decided to back out when they saw how a thick cloud of RPK-ness permeates this organisation inside out.
Shouldn’t MCLM be burning with the spirit and soul of the rakyat rather than being so highly identified with RPK?
When Sai Baba died today in India, I felt sad to think we have an RPK Baba to represent the only potentially decent civil society organisation in Malaysia.
If MCLM’s chairman was someone like Malik Imtiaz Sarwar — low profile, professional, sensible, sharp and effective without being bull-headed, sneaky, arrogant, delving in all sorts of dubious scandals and whose real motives are unclear (the RPK-Mahathir connection is scary), imagine the amount of quality human capital MCLM would be attracting.
And Malik would never make MCLM a movement about him. He’d do his duty quietly but powerfully, always channeling the attention MCLM gets towards people power, never upon himself.

Yes, vote out RPK and enlist Malik Imtiaz Sarwar as the chairman of MCLM. It’s the wisest thing to do.
We don’t need uncivil cowboy RPK guiding a civil organization like MCLM.

Fortunately some sense got into your head the last minute from the wisdom and strength of Marina and Amarjit. They are your good guardians, consult with them always.
It is obvious that once you are in Malaysian Ass-bassy, they will bundle you off to KL and then big big trouble for you.

This is my theory of what is happening:
The world is so lack of heroes these days. When RPK appears to be a hero to many who are silently opposing the corrupt govt of the day, the govt tried to lock him away. They failed. So they now try to smear his good name by twisting his words into an act of betrayal of his own allies. Now they try to bring him home and perhaps run him through a kangaroo court and let him go free, making the govt smelling like roses, while the hero will just be pushed down from his pedestal and treated like any other person they can buy with money. Then everybody will want to spit on him. That’s what I think is the agenda.
Poco Poco
April 26, 2011
Heroes are very calculated, patient and articulate individuals who share the aura of great personalities like Gandhi, Mandela or Evo Morales for example.
RPK, as even Haris admits, is an impatient dude, and impatience can be a costly price to pay (as we have seen how his TV3 antics backfired so horribly).
I know some out there would be saying, “Oh, RPK opened our eyes, RPK did what no others dared to do and stuff like that”. Come on bro, be realistic. The end justifies the means. And in the end, it seems, RPK is more of a liability than anything else.
Wake up MCLM, just segregate any important dealings with this dangerous, unhero-like individual.

Well, its 50% – 50% – I’d say bro. You might still be able to pull off a coup of sorts with this “poor, aging, naive, RPK” approach – or you may not. I reckon not actually as somewhere along the road RPK may slip up again…. (if he has crossed over, then they normally do slip up badly when trying to cover their tracks). Then you are going to look really silly and your own reputation will be flushed down the tube. You might want to step back a little bro – to take stock of things….

Bro Haris, please ask RPK to stay the course. Ask him not to get himself snuffed in the process. Don’t lose heart. The ones that has been there in beginning knows how his mind works. There was not a nano second of doubt that he has gone to the darkside. The human herd will discard you the moment there is no use for you. Bunch of ingrates who were happily voting for the devil before RPK came on the scene. Same thing happened to all the heroes in history. They turn on you at the drop of a hat! At least he and you can say without shame to God that you took on the mighty beast. That is what the rest of us should be doing. Haris, your Makkal Shakti in Prai, Butterworth is still reveberating in my ears. Stay safe, Bro. Dark times are here, they are fighting for survival.

Haris,
Thanks for keeping us informed. As for RPK, his recent decisions have not worked out to his best interest; skeptical at best, suspicious at worst for the rest of the People. Perhaps you could have another word with Marina, and get her to manage RPK’s meetings/interviews/correspondance entirely, like how the artists are managed, ie he sees only those vetted by her and nothing is done or reported unless it’s positive for his image/cause! The consequences post TV3 interview is still repairable if she intervenes now, otherwise another blunder will be seen as intentional and he’ll lose whatever faith left among the few of us who stil believe he is fighting for the People’s cause.

If RPK were to be “interviewed” at the Malaysian Embassy, he could be arrested, perhaps drugged and shipped back to Malaysia to face the music! An embassy is soil of the country of diplomatic representation. Hence, RPK was much wiser to avoid being interviewed there!
In the late 1890’s, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, later became the Father of the Chinese Revolution, was tricked into the London Embassy of the Manchu Ching Dynasty. And would be shipped back to China to be tortured and executed by the Manchus. It took the combined efforts of Dr. Sun’s teacher, Prof. Cantel and the Scotland Yard to free him which in 1912, the Ching Dynasty (1644-1912) was overthrown and the last Ching emperor, Henry Pu Yi was booted out of the Forbidden City in Peking….Cheers!

I read this and i was just rolling my eyes.
RPK acts like a pampered child and loves the attention by his lawyer-friends and wife. Especially when he said, oh oh, I’m going and his wife said,- if you go I’ll leave Bangkok today. He just loves it and smiles with glee. It’s his way to check whether he’s still wanted and needed and his wife and friends give him that validation. He knew with all his heart and mind that his wife would stop him, (because he knows they always do that anyway) and they did, and he smiles with glee inside because they fell for his shitty performance
-and of course haris, batman assistant has to tell the world about it….RPK, you can fool the entire world with your circus, but you and I knew the truth….teruskan berlakun!!

How can you trust someone who idolize a tyrant like Mahathir? RPK trusts him, look up to him and he feels soooooooo highty and mighty because that tyrant gives him attention!! look at the way he writes “he know my number”, he knows where I am” and he says that with so much pride. other than his big ego, he is also a child who needs validation from a father figure. Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately he chooses a tyrant like Mahathir to look up to. I believe all this drama in Thailand is part of his plan to come back to Malaysia as part of reward that Mahathir promised him for his contribution in TV3 performance. Don’t be fooled folks. MCLM is established as an instrument to cause strife. It is the brainchild of Mahathir to split Pakatan Rakyat. And RPK has been his instrument in creating all these havoc. Pity Haris. You idolize RPK the way RPK idolize Mahathir. when are you going to wake up and see him for who he really is? Are you that blind? You are a lawyer, for goodness sake, not a pak turut. Do you want to be like si luncai yang terjun dengan labu-labunya?

RPK was a dumb-ass to think that it was ok to do what he wanted to do. Has he suddenly become a moron? Any idiot understands the implication of him walking into the Malaysian Embassy in a foreign country, yet he is so naive to think all is well and good?
It is common sense, no need to understand international law. Yet, this fellow almost fell for it, being so gullible.

The French submarine that is leaking and useless, bought for multi millions, is going to be put on land as museum piece in Klebang Besar, Melaka. It is going to cost at least 20 million Rm to put it on dry land. A disgrace to put up as showpiece as museum which is a massive currupting and a leaking basket in the first place. It will be a laughing stock for all visitors, a showpiece of massive incompetence with hundreds of millions gone into pockets of Najib and crooks.

I quote his saying, ‘I felt good. They tried to screw me and now they got screwed instead. They thought they would punish me for walking away by charging me under Section 501 instead of 203. And now they realise it was a big mistake and that they set a trap for me which ended up trapping themselves instead.’
It seems to be me he took all the credits, without mentioning efforts from his lawyers and his poor wife attempting to stop him from going to the embassy.
RPK whacked others being sombong bodoh. I think RPK himself is mother of all bodoh sombong as well. Pot call the kettle black.

Maybe equally silly.
Why don’t we just follow the scenario,without making heroes or clowns out of some of the people involved.

Sdr Haris,
Please ..lah, tell that spinner friend of yours(RPK) not
to glorify himself sky-high as if he was the real ‘hero’ in that Bangkok episode. Same like what he told everybody ‘confronting heroicly’ the group of 7/8 SB officers when was arrested a few years back. He cleverly and knowingly assured that he can boast whatever he wants just because the SB officers will be unable and never want to rebute him in the open. That is never the practice nor norm of police officers especially SB officers. Bro, Haris, let me tell you that SB officers had the experience enough even to ‘break’ the most hardened underground communist elements in our history like members of The Plen group in the 60s and up to 80s. So, who is RPK after all?? His arrogrance and boastfullness is only good for the younger generation and ‘followers’. So, all we read from him is only ‘one-sided’
story, that is , his side of the story. RPK had never been trained to undergo intensive counter-interrogration techniques
like the communist elements did. And do we believe what he said and boasted?? Well, certainly not me as I know what I am talking about. Bro, tell him to tone down his ‘sombong’ and false heroic attitude. How I wish he can go with me into the battle-field and then I may a chance to see his ‘true-colours’
of him and what ‘material’ he is made of. As people say, ‘talk is cheap’ and in chinese they say ‘no need capital’. Salam bro Haris, you take care and have a nice day.

In other democratic well governed Countries,the people will be demanding such a Govt to resign wasting billions on such a corrupt piece of ‘easy money making scheme ‘paid for by us.

My dear Lok 1,
Thank you for your comment and congratulations for not idolizing a tyrant like Mahathir. It shows you are bound by nothing and attached to nothing. It shows you understand that wealth and power belong to God and those who hold them are trustees, not possessors. It is with them today, tomorrow it maybe elsewhere. Unfortunately RPK is not in your class. He lets his “ideal” man controls and manipulates him. If you read all his his articles throughout all these years, you can realize that he is no longer fighting for justice for the sake of justice. Now he’s fighting “justice” for power. That’s what MCLM is all about. An instrument to cause strife, a brainchild of Mahathir. Perhaps if Haris is really, truly sincere, he can tell you the truth. He knows what exactly is going on. But what can you expect from si luncai who does not know how to differentiate between being loyal to a traitor and being loyal to the truth? Maybe in the next MCLM Meeting with audience, we all should go and confront both of them with these questions and see the reactions on their faces and their body language. Then my dear Lok 1, you can see who is the shallow one here – me who is telling the truth or them who will do anything for money.

Perhaps this charade needs to be uncovered as soon as possible before RPK duped the whole country with his lies and antics. As I said, we will see your reactions – your body language, your facial expressions. A few of us are experts in this matter and unlike others, we will not be fooled by bombastic words that are devoid of sincerity. Prepare yourself. Especially RPK.

Number one:
Haris was (previously) seen as a sincere man with strong feelings for constructive reform. Some people want to separate Haris from RPK because RPK is a liability to Haris and the movement for reform. RPK is an erratic loose cannon who seems to have no clear and practical end-goal in sight for socio-political reform. By all means, RPK, keep up the scandal-mongering. There is no way your scandal-mongering will magically remove BN from power in GE13. Whether BN stays or goes, will be based on the people’s informed decision. Don’t drag all of us in through your attention-seeking hero act and your MCLM.
Number two:
It is Haris and RPK who are wasting the people’s time and frustrating what little hope they have to see sensible, practical actions for sociopolitical reform. RPK is taking us all on a wild-goose chase and Haris is tagging along because he things RPK is some sort of brave saviour. But let’s look at the end goal: what really has RPK achieved with his latest shenanigans so far for sociopolitical reform? Zilch. Nada. Nothing. Tell RPK and Haris not to waste OUR time.

How do you remove BN?
FOCUS ON ENLIGHTENING THE PEOPLE AND GETTING THEM TO VOTE THE OPPOSITION IN THE GE13.
What is RPK and Haris focusing their time on? Scandal-mongering, WHICH DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE GOAL OF REMOVING BN ON THE GE13.
RPK AND HARIS’s TALK AND TALK AND SHOW DOCUMENT AND SHOW DOCUMENT DIDNT MAKE ONE SMALL DIFFERENCE IN CHANGING THE MINDS OF BARISAN NASIONAL RURAL SUPPORTERS.
So why waste time?
Why not focus MCLM on the next GE13 for change by cooperating with Pakatan, not trying to act like a big boss “Father Figure” for Pakatan but MCLM itself being a RPK drama producer?

My dear Lok 1,
Of course everyone who writes here has an agenda. If the agendas are for the good of our country and for the benefit of humanity, what is wrong with that? In islam every religious duty has to start with a “niat” (intention) because niat/agendas/intentions are extremely important as it represents our connection with God and with the spiritual side of life. Everyone certainly has a part to play here, but unlike the rest of us, just on his own, someone like Haris plays the role of 100 men. He inspires us. But I am so sad that he has lost all notion of the idea of the distinction between public duty and his own sordid, private advantage with his association with RPK. Until he accepts something has gone very fundamentally wrong, do not ever dream of becoming a spokesperson on our behalf. You can only become a true activist if you have no intention of compromising and demands nothing but the truth from others, especially his crooked best friend RPK. Haris, How can you be proud of MCLM as “another alternative full of purity” and then perform acts which by implication and possibility are completely impure? I wish he is able to see through the superficial and get straight to the heart of the matter before RPK creates more damage.
Salam to you Lok 1 and do not give up hope. If Haris uses his common sense, if he is willing to stand up and defend what he believes in, who knows what the future hold? Maybe he can be the instrument to spark revolutions like what is happening in the middle east now!!

I believe this is what has happened:
When Mahathir sees RPK kena bantai kiri kanan because of his appearance on tv 3, he started a second plan. Bangkok drama – so that RPK can get back his supporters. The more drama he created, the more believable his story would be, as if he were a victim of BN. To get back the supporters is extremely important for Mahathir’s cause. Mahathir can use him untuk buat kacau bilau among pakatan rakyat supporters. He is like a snake under the bush. On the surface he looks like he is fighting our cause, but in reality he is doing Mahathir’s dirty work, which is to divide and rule. And Mahathir has chosen the best person to do his work.

HOTEL CALIFORNIA
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There he stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then he lit up a candle and he showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say…
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
His mind is tiffany-twisted, he got the mercedes bends
he got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that he calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say…
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And he said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.

But you can never leave!

Many of RPKs fans and supporters feel dejected and let down after his TV3 interview and the dramas then unfolded subsequently. Many have now labelled him a turncoat with BN empathizers joining in the ‘free for all bash RPK sessions’ that seems to be unfolding rather disturbingly. Even Harris was not spared the rain of saliva on his post about ‘the Bangkok incident’ (read Here). It simply amazes me how Malaysians change their mind and opinion of someone based on pure emotions. From the little i have read of the comments posted on the numerous news portals and blogs, i might just be correct in deducing that these comments reflect poor emotional intelligence amongst the readers (Emotional Intelligence, or EI, describes an ability or capacity to perceive, assess, and manage the emotions of one’s self, and of others). To me it’s just a case of much ado about nothing.
I stand corrected, but from the little i know of RPK and his ways, it is highly possible that he is a subtle adrenaline junkie. Subtle adrenaline junkies tend to create drama and crises in their lives, either on a conscious or unconscious level to trigger the body’s stress response and get the rush that comes with the excitement. They have dramatic conflicts with people in their lives, exploding in anger and otherwise causing unnecessary ‘drama’. Now that he (RPK) is away in self exile, away from the action, away from the conflicts and danger, away from his stressors, he misses the adrenaline rush. Thus, making him consciously or otherwise create stressful environments around him. On the other hand, Adrenaline a.k.a ‘fight or flight’ hormone (that is created in large amounts during the adrenaline rush) by its very nature creates a response system that bypasses our rational mind where our more well thought out beliefs exist. This, i believe to a certain extent, answers the questions of why RPK gave the TV3 interview, why he insisted on going to the Malaysian embassy in Bangkok knowing the possible dangers awaiting him there, why he made the SD without fully verifying it’s content and substance, etc.
Question: Is RPK a good guy or bad guy?
My verdict: RPK is a good guy. He just needs to learn how to be less hard headed, consult and discuss with other wise people before making important decisions. One good person would be none other than his loyal wife Marina. Women have this natural ability to smell trouble. By heeding his wife’s advise, RPK might just be saving himself from lots of trouble. Nevertheless he is still a good guy.

Come on people!! Be real! Can’t you see that RPK is just ‘testing the water’s” with his about-turn and spin? As the chinese saying,’when drawing a picture, you need not draw the intestines’.RPK is a soap-opera master now.I think now Najib is thinking twice whether ‘dia bolih pakai lagi tak’ for the GE 13. Cos many already know RPK already compromise.RPK had all along being the ‘tool’ of Mahathir. Hey, had any of you ever heard RPK ‘wolloping’ Dr M?? Certainly not. Why??? Your guess is as good as mine. Don’t need to undergo a CIA/FBI/SB Course to comprehend what is happening to RPK. He is ‘damaged product’ and to be discarded.
