Not too long ago, Karpal Singh, the DAP Tiger was regarded as disrespectful for allegedly "QUESTIONING" the powers of the Sultan of Perak over the reinstatement of state Religious Department director Datuk Jamry Sury, who had earlier been transferred by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin.
The above mentioned were splashed all over the major newspaper and created such a hoo-haa among the UMNOputras. Even our 'Flip-Flop' PM urged the Attorney General to speed up the investigation of the case when there are far more cases yet to be solved in this country.Malaysian Youth Council (MYC) secretary-general, in the press statement commented,"...it was unbecoming of Karpal, who is also Bukit Gelugor MP, to release such a statement, which could THREATEN RACIAL STABILITY. His statement not only insults the Sultan, but also the Malay Rulers institution and the Constitution. He is RUDE and should apologise to Sultan Azlan Shah for issuing such a statement."Izin-kan saya yang berhormat, excerpt from Malaysia-today article,"...Rosmah phoned His Highness the Sultan of Selangor and scolded him. Rosmah spoke to His Highness the way you would scold a dog that shit on your new carpet."Read the full stories here.Can someone tell me the definition of "RUDE" now?Kurang Ajar!!!
A friend who is also a fellow reader of my blog asked, "Mike, why are you so upset when RPK got arrested as it is none of your business? You had a career, a decent life, why care risking yourself with this post?"
Here's my reply to you. If it is not your flesh that is being cut, you will never feel the pain. You choose to be ignorant but not me. When I read Marina's (RPK's wife) post here, I felt her pain, I felt the tormenting time she is going through as a wife and a mother. We have the power and right to speak out our opinion, my parents gave me higher level of education not only just to earn a decent living in some MNCs but my parents also taught me the basic principle of life. My parents also taught me how to distinguish between what's logic and what's insanity.
On 8th of March, we had shown them the sign, the political tsunami, the voice of the rakyat. Read the wiki definition of Sedition Act (Malaysia) 1948 and using this, the barisan najis think they can f**king (I censored as I know my top management read my blog now) shut the bloggers up and cripple the Malaysiakini operation. Sorry to say, I blog & voice my opinion without fear and this whole saga had indeed upset the whole blogosphere. We indeed had enough of lies & sweet promises from the sleeping log. Arresting RPK alone will not do any help, there are hundreds of other political bloggers out there (although not as insprational as RPK) will definitely stand behind him and we will continue to voice our unhappiness here, this is my own space, we have the exclusivity here. The only law you can do against us will be the Sedition Act 1948.
Am I seditious here?
Well... my hero opts for jail to prove a point, I am here too for a better nation, better law & right and a better future.
PEACE!
I was at Sri Damansara McD about a while ago, talking about this great man, Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK), with my bunch of best buddies. I told them how he had triggered my senses to what is actually happening in this poor country. A country who lauded "Malaysia Boleh", I am asking "Boleh Apa?"
BOLEH tangkap orang sesuka hati?
BOLEH cakap tapi tak serupa bikin? (remember how Pak Lah pusing about his many statements to the public?)
BOLEH angkat keris and then say sorry?
BOLEH makan rasuah tapi tak boleh makan babi?
BOLEH? My Foot-lah!!!
This great man was taken away, charged under the Sedition Act 1948, blardy 60 years old law. What fcuk pig-sense here? He refused to post bail and now is being arrested. Backed up by 7 lawyers, 4 of them who are the Members of the Parliament. Latest I know, one ringgit one person campaign was launched to bail RPK out, within hours, the fund exceeded good enough to bail my hero out for another 5 times or so.
Read this 'made sense' post by politikus, you decide whether the government is insulting the rakyat's intelligence or not. Check out the article "Let's Send The Altantuya Murderers To Hell" by RPK.
This man will walk as a tall Malay. We are with you Pete!
