Raja Petra Kamaruddin has been charged under the Sedition Act for his article "Let's Send the Altantuya Murderers To Hell" in Malaysia Today.
Now, obviously Malaysians are inflamed by this oppressive act. Fingers are surely pointing to Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak as the ONE who ordered RPK's arrest and that he be charged for sedition. And for good measure, they got author Syed Akbar Ali charged as well for a comment he posted under one of RPK's articles.
Did he issue the order?
That said, I am in solidarity with RPK because I believe he should be free to express his views, his fears, his trepidations. And his belief that the government is corrupt.
Is he wrong?
You know what, slamming him with sedition has proven that he is right.
And Najib? He is getting the pellets, bullets and what have you! The HEAT!

You're a closet Najib-admirer, ain't ya? That's politics, you know. Not only do you have to be seen to be clean, you have to prove it too! The Clintons and other advanced nations' politicians went through it! That's the price you have to pay for being rich, famous & powerful. No malaise intended.
Have a nice day. Here's looking @ ya, gorgeous!
This najib - 32 years as mp & last 23 years he has held a variety of ministerial portfolios...

not at all. i aint no closet (or otherwise) najib admirer.
i mean, i can rattle on about his weaknesses -- from where i am standing but i won't go into that.
it's just that it is totally unjust, not to say, malicious for Raja Petra to have launched into an anti-Najib propoganda.
i mean, he is so irresponsible. he is just repeating gossip and kedai kopi chatter.
i 'm so convinced some people are paying him to do that.
