Raja Petra Kamarudin has been detained under the ISA!! 10 police personnel came to their home in Sungai Buloh at about 1.10pm to arrest RPK. The “controversial” RPK was warned the Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar had that he could be charged under the ISA for comments allegedly insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad.

RPK was arrested under Internal Security Act section 73(1). They ransacked RPK’s bedroom and took away some documents and CDs.

There have been numerous reports filled against RPK for his posting entitled “I Promise to be a good, non-hypocritical Muslim”

Its a sad day for all Malaysians that this has happened. The freedom of speech is purely a myth in this part of the world. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and make what ever they want off it. If it offended certain quarters, he should have been given a chance to clarify his stand and charged in a court of law where he could defend him selves. Detaining him in such manner shows that this is not such a free nation after all. And some people still wonder why the rakyat are demanding a change!!
