the way I see it
Malaysiakini reported that blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin has been formally arrested and has been taken to the Jalan Duta Court to be charged. He is expected to be charged after his infamous statutory declaration linking the wife of the Najib with the murder of Altantuya Shaaribu’s gruesome murder.
I have full respect for this man who stands by his words and willing to face the consequences. I hope he gets a fair trail and if given a option to take bail, he pays it!!
Walk with RPK!!
Breaking News
Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been released on bail. He will be holding a press conference from his Segambut home at 2pm. DSAI was released after being arrested on the 16th of July at about 12.55pm while he was on his way to his home before heading to the police station to give his statement.
The PKR leader was held overnight for investigations and relased on today 17th July 2008(Thursday).
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar also said that investigations will continue.
Dato Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyer Sankara Nair told Malaysiakini.
Exceprts from Malaysiakini:
“Sankara told reporters outside the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters where Anwar was held overnight that he talked to an officer in charge of the investigation this morning.
“I received a call from one of the investigation officers and they agreed to grant Anwar police bail,” said Sankara who arrived at the police headquarters at 9am.”
From this report it still isnt clear if he will be released today or charged today. If he is released on bail today, DSAI would have to report back to the police station where the police have the option to procure charges.
Who makes these decisions??
Malaysiakini reported that homegrown blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin is to be charged with criminal defamation tomorrow – he will have to first report to the Kuala Lumpur contingent police headquarters (IPK) at 10am.
Excerpts from Mkini reported :
Raja Petra said the police had contacted his lawyer J Chandra this morning, for information on how to contact him.
“They did not have my number, so I called them back and was told to report to the ninth floor of the IPK. They also said I would be charged for criminal defamation,” he said.
Asked if he had been expecting this, he replied: “Of course, I am not worried about what is to come, not at all.”
This is one man wih guts! He stands up for his words and is not afraid to face the music. Anwar yesterday, RPK today and who else?
BN’s biggest threats in the political arena is behind bars and the biggest online threat is on his way today. I hope that there are proper grounds for these arrest and the due diligence is done and not politically motivated.
The worlds spot light is on the Malaysian political scene now and for what its worth, i hope we keep our integrity in place during this episode
