Free RPK!!!
To be honest, i'm his frequent reader of almost every blog post he published on his 'Malaysia Today' independent news portal website. I might not share many views with him, however i always regard him as a open-minded (very liberal), sharp-tongue(tough arguments), no-nonsense blogger who always champions the issues of justice and freedom. He had made a good showcase to public to defend the freedom of expression and be responsible of what he wrote.
I believe, what he wrote, he has every reason to defend his writings. Same thing goes to other bloggers too. Bloggers are not there just to slander people, perhaps if you are willing to hear, they could back it up with facts and evidences.
To charge RPK with Sedition Act, is an action of cowardice. The person(s) felt insulted or wrongfully alleged of involving in the issues he has been discussing, has every right to file a defamation suit, to bring him up to the court to redeem justice. What makes the person carefully not to go for this move, is purely political motivated. It must be something he/they wants to hide, fear that if the defamation suit were filed, more evidence will be brought up by RPK to support his writings and therefore put him/them in a great risk. So far, public opinion has summed up their views about the ongoing, (purposely)prolonged Altantuya murder case. In RPK's article which brought him troubles, has raised all the fair doubts judging the progress of the trial now. If they think he's attempting to influence the case judgement and caused contempt of court, go ahead to charge him otherwise... just don't play with Sedition Act!!!
Show me how his article could incite hatred among rakyats, or a threat to national unity/security. It is very interesting for me to know. I show pity to AG/prosecution team, which serves like a tool by government.
If you want to bet, i would be very confident that government will not win the argument in a just court to charge RPK for that sedition 'crime'... for that i would be damn afraid if the 'correct x3' court is still running. Poor soul RPK, you will have all my support, for justice! You show the humanity side of you, even risking yourself now for the justice of a murdered mongolian woman. You have my respect!
