The following has been excerpted from the BENAR blog :
While we, the organisers, can direct the theme and thrust of the event, journalist participation will be determined by organisations such as the NUJ, the NPC and the various media groups. We look forward to strong support from them. This is an opportunity that they should not miss out on. Please pass the word around and tell every journalist whom you know about this event.
As to ordinary citizens and bloggers, here is your opportunity to show that you desire Media Freedom. Come and take the Walk with your journalist brethren and show your solidarity with them. We, as a people, can help to move our nation forward on the road to civil liberties.
” Ahoy! Man abroad Man abroad Sound the Bell Man abroad “
TUN M must had a sleepness night before deciding to abandon the Had-Badawi-hari ship. Especially so right after he met Najib the ‘I do not know her’ Deputy PM. Smell a fog coming, see a ship going to hit something soon? Jump ship lar! don’t be so stupid to go down with a sleeping captain and 4 racks mateys.
Nothing wrong with leaving Umno v2.0 when its always possible to start Umno v3.0 with a new captain onboard. If a captain refuses to leave his ship to you its easier to build your own ship than fighting his henchmen. Now we wait and see who’s going to abandon ship to follow Tun to build Umno v3.0. With a new head captain they can steer faster than one laden with tons of garbage and deadwoods.
PM will have no power to impose on the new Umno as he won’t be a member off anyway. That leaves Tun and the new captain to dictate the game. Even if less than 50% leaving Umno to Umno v3.0 is more than enough to put Umno in disarray and shipwreck faster.
Now lets sit back and watch the Malaysian Titanic show starring Jack the Badawi and Rose the Matahari….
This morning our Hero Raja Petra was released on bail from the PJ Majistrate. Many friends and fans came to support. After a few photo sessions and interviews he took off for breakfast at PJ Hilton. The usual suspects were there including YB Ronnie and YB Tian Chua. (more reports from Malaysiakini here)
We’re all are relieved especially his lovely wife Marina, he’s out and prays he doesn’t go back in unless to visit the actual people that should be behind bars the 1st place.
OK it took the whole day to get the design right and here it is.
R.P.K C4ME logo and actually made the Tshirt as well!
Why R.P.K C4ME ? well it means R.P.K CAME and R.P.K C4 (BOMS) ME or R.P.K C4 (SEE FOR) ME or anything you can think off!
Was rushing it to wear for the virgil tonight but ended up missing the chance as usual! no photo ops no meeting all bros and sistas and no standing there supporting R.P.K in person! I hope the banners are helpful and pray R.P.K is healthy inside.
MAY GOD BLESS HIM & HIS FAMILY.

THE REAL TOWERING MALAY
Sedition (by wikipedia)
Sedition is a term of law which refers to covert conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority as tending toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel.
Because sedition is typically considered a subversive act, the overt acts that may be prosecutable under sedition laws vary from one legal code to another. Where those legal codes have a traceable history, there is also a record of the change of definition for what constituted sedition at certain points in history. This overview has served to develop a sociological definition of sedition as well, within study of persecution.
The difference between sedition and treason consists primarily in the subjective ultimate object of the violation to the public peace. Sedition does not consist of levying war against a government nor of adhering to its enemies, giving enemies aid, and giving enemies comfort. Nor does it consist, in most representative democracies, of peaceful protest against a government, nor of attempting to change the government by democratic means (such as direct democracy or constitutional convention).
Put simply, sedition is the stirring up of rebellion against the government in power. Treason is the violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or state and has to do with giving aid to enemies or levying war. Sedition is more about encouraging the people to rebel, when treason is actually betraying the country.
Now to many of us, we know who is the worried person (no names cause I might get to bunk with RPK). We also know who needs to hide some shit. We also know who missuse our Men-in-Blue for their own benefits. Now no other BN supporter had ever been hand cuffed over a seditious remark or posting and we all know there are such seditious attempts. Neither did Men-in-Blue come knocking on their doors. Even AP cloners and Money Laundering Fake Palace Builder in BakKutTeh town were allowed to walk free and no Men-in-Blue officers dares to hand cuff them even when many police reports were made.
Sick that this country is SO DAM SICK. Its really SICK to the point that someone not important (actually knows too much) can be blown up to bits by some person/s that has access to C4 which is to be from our special Men-in-Blue. It is also SICK that the Drama Minggu Ini court case is heading to dead ends like all Pak Lah’s projects.
Now I really wish defacto PM in waiting Anwar just make some party hoppers hop over and pull out the PM post from Pak Lah feet while he’s still busy with Umno’s problems. That way Anwar can free all ISA detainees and throw RPK’s case out by throwing the head of Men-in-Blue out. Later he can dig out all the dirt on all BN ministers and throw them is jail for raping this nation for so many years. As Anwar was formerly from the wolf’s pack, I’m sure he knows where to start digging.
