Week of Change! Rpk freed!

Most of you would know at this hour that Raja Petra Kamaruddin has been freed this evening. Yes, the Shah Alam court ruled his detention illegal and Syed Hamid misuse his power.

I am witnessing a week of high intensity drama over US and Malaysia! First, it was the race for US Presidency. I long for Obama to win, and I must say it was really anxious to know the result! I must count my self fortunate to see the votes required to be President exceed the required vote in front of the PC. (I am at my University cyber cafe, hardly online during weekdays.) It was really hard for my joy to stuck inside my heart!!! I want to celebrate by shouting YES WE CAN loudly at that moment. But I cant...

Today, I see the light shines at RPK. He was freed with immediate effect! I must thank the Judge for being fair and not bias. Thanks all the lawyer who put in effort to bring him out. Come this Sunday, I will be going to the vigil to meet RPK and the rest of the bloggers. Same place at PJ Taman Jaya Open field, 9.30PM. Expect to have more people as we remember the Bersih movement.

I am extremely happy! Not that I am back to my comfort home, but RPK is back with the people! YES WE CAN!

Read Malaysiakini , thestar and NutGraph for RPK released news.


PS: I noticed that my readership had exceed 1k. Well, I put it few months back. It should have exceeded more than this amount since I started this blog in 2003. Have a nice day!

RPK strike again! There is hope for Pakatan PM!

RPK wrote another stunning article which captured my heart. Read some part of his article below. Taken From MalaysiaToday.

Yes, I think it will happen. And it may not be too long away, probably even before Christmas. The 8th March 2008 revolution has not ended. It is still continuing. It continued into the Permatang Pauh by-election. It will continue into the Kulim by-election if they dare declare that seat vacant – which was why they dropped the case. And the revolution will only end once the Umno prime minister has been kicked out of office.

...

I know many are no longer holding their breath. Most Malaysians have given up hope for Pakatan Rakyat taking over the federal government. Well, it may be too early to give up hope. If by Christmas it has not happened then maybe it’s time to get worried. Until then keep hoping and plan for this year’s Christmas to be the best Christmas in 51 years since Merdeka.

Keep Hoping! That is what he asked us to do. Well, certainly I am still hoping. But in the mean time, I am also preparing for GE 13!

Dear Santa, I wish for a better country and the release of All ISA Detainee. Not only that, I wish for the Pakatan to take over the Banana Brainless moron. Thank you!

Looks like Kamunting Hotel staff treat RPK pretty well. He is at his best again.

RPK blogged again~!

RPK just blogged about social contract. I wonder how he managed to blog. But let us be reminded that his sacrifice is for the freedom of Malaysia!

NO TO ISA!

X-ISA Vigil 19 Oct Tmn Jaya

• Fantastic
• Mini Concert
• Double the crowds as compare to last Sunday

Went quite late. Stayed for around 20 minutes. Bought an orange colour NO HOLDS BARRED T! Marina gave her thanks and I chao. Some still stayed back to sing some songs. It rain quite heavy after I reached home. Few photo for memories. Cant go next 2 weeks. :(

I saw YB LIM KS @ PJ vigil

I attended PJ Anti-Isa Vigil. He came later when our vigil was almost finish. Everyone was looking around for friends or well known people to share their thoughts. Out of sudden, YB Lim Kit Siang just "pop up" without my" super sensitive antenna" realization.

He said a few words of encouragement to those present to give support. I got a video here of him speaking to those who were there. Thanks MTBoyJ for your effort.

As he is one of those that I admired for his guts and BOLD, I make my way to reach him and greet him as well. It is indeed a blessing to shake his hand and see him face to face. Yes, I was contracted with the euphoric YOUTHFUL feeling like a child who have just receive his boost from his father.

Nothing can be compare with this moment of joy to know that he is there with the people. Old yet furious with words that most of the MP feared to face.

I will have sleepless night thinking about this. :)

The usual face is there to lend their support. Not only that, I also saw some unexpected faces. I also asked one of my politic kaki to join the previous vigil and failed all the time. Tonight, he came and I am proud!

Not only that, I dragged along my parents. They have the same mind set of mine, which is to abolish the ISA for a better Malaysia. But the old conservative mind need some time to change. They were lamenting that the government will just ignore what we have done tonight. I chose to believed that we have pressed on the pressure button for the government to act appropriately.
I am proud of my parents.

Nevertheless, it was a great day. Hope that next Sunday more people will flood the field and send a bigger message over !


PS: PMR students, all the best to you! Just try your best! No worries!

Oct 13 - When Parliament start

So, what can we expect from Parliament when it start on 13th of Oct?

It is also the beginning for PMR students to battle with their knowledge against the Blank Paper right before them. What else can we expect? Can we see DS Anwar do something on that day? Can we desire for the release of ISA detainee and RPK as well?

Heartache to see RPK on his first day of trial. Sad to know that the most respected man of Malaysia is being charged. How about others whose mouth is more smelly that the smelly yong tao fuu (beancurd)?

RPK trial will continue until this friday. Those who are without commitment, please go to PJ court to give your support.
