Unlawful Arrest of Raja Petra
It's confirmed. Raja Petra will be held under ISA for the next 2 years and his habeas corpus application was rejected. I am not surprised that Raja Petra was arrested. Let's face it…. the Malaysian government is a HYPOCRITE. The Malaysian Government says that Malaysia is a democratic country but what's the point of labeling 'Democracy' to Malaysia when nobody has the full right of Freedom of Speech?
Every country has laws and I think the Internal Security Act (ISA) is bullshit and are for pussies. Why is the Malaysian Government so afraid of Raja Petra? If he did something wrong, make a lawsuit and allow him a fair trial. If they think that Raja Petra is a threat to the country, why don't they just oust him to another country?! I am sure that many other developed countries would be more than happy to have Raja Petra as their citizen.
We should be proud that Raja Petra is brave enough to put out the clear-cut facts with no censorship. We should have more people like Raja Petra. Arresting *controversial* bloggers is ok but denying him the right to a fair trial is totally ridiculous.
In my opinion, Pak Lah is one of the dumbest and slowest Prime Ministers in the world. Pak Lah should retire at once and let someone else lead the country.
