ISA For Raja Petra
September 24, 2008 – 12:29 pmI guess all of us, who have been readers of Malaysia Today, would sorely miss him as he was sent to Kamunting Prison yesterday to serve his two year detention under the ISA.
Whether we believe him or not, whether we agree with him or not, is another matter all together. There is no denying that Raja Petra, though known as the Editor of Malaysia Today, is also first and foremost a blogger and it is really sad that a blogger is incarcerated for writing and publishing online what HE believes in.
It’s been said over and over again that the ISA has to go because it has been abused but there are still so many “yes men” riding on the issue by calling for just a REVIEW. There’s a vast difference in REPEAL and REVIEW and I am sure these learned men and women know this but do they dare to call for what actually needs done? I don’t think so.
So while Raja Petra is in Kamunting to serve his two year term, which could be extended and once again without trial, I guess there will be a void in the Blogosphere. Gone are the days when we excitedly waited for his instalments of political scandals on Malaysia Today.
Let’s pray that Raja Petra will be released as soon as possible without condition! Down with ISA!
