RPK Freed!
Raja Petra Kamarudin, editor of the controversial and popular news portal Malaysia Today, was freed yesterday from ISA detention!
RPK, as he is better known, was detained by the Internal Security Act (ISA) on September 12 for speaking out against the authorities on grounds he claimed was right. One of his many claims was that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was one of the key people in the murder of Mongolian Altantuya. He spoke what he thinks and knows is right without fear of being put into prison.
“I am not a terrorist. I am not a dangerous person. I am just a writer,” RPK said.
Yes, a writer indeed - writer who is so bold to speak words that determine whether he dies or lives.
RPK put everyone who has a much bigger truth but dare not speak about it to shame. There is a much bigger and more wonderful truth out there that not everyone is ready to accept but must know. There is a greater knowledge out there that needs to be made known to all. But there are not many who even dare or want to blog about this truth.
Many have nothing to say about this truth because they don’t really know much about this truth. And many find that it doesn’t matter if the truth is not told.
Still there are many who are willing to trade their lives so that the world will know THE TRUTH.
Which one are you?
One of my farewell gifts from PsJohn before he left. This shirt is a reminder to me to be bold in sharing the truth no matter what it will cost me.
Haha. Brilliant T-Shirt.
