the way I see it
Raja Petra is freed to go after the judge concluded that the charge incomplete. After all the drama this is the outcome?! All this started via RPK’s posting in his infamous Malaysia-Today blog in the posting entittled “Lets send the Altantuya Murderers To Hell”.
Thank god for that and RPK walks again!! …..for now
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA; JULY 17, 2008
On Saturday, 12-07-2008, the police came to my house to serve a Section 111 Criminal Procedure Code notice, harassing my family and demanding my presence at the IPK Kuala Lumpur (Federal Territories Police headquarters) at 2pm on Monday, 14-07-2008 despite an earlier agreement with my lawyers for me to come to the IPK on Monday 14-07-2008. On the next day, Sunday, the police also served an ex-parte court order, prohibiting me from physically being within 5 km from the Parliament on Monday 14-07-2008. As you can see, my house and the IPK KL are within 5 km radius from the parliament building. The court order effectively put me under house arrest on Monday and at the same time prevented me from going to the IPK.
Latest update from Malaysia-Today

[3] Acting Colonel Aziz’s wife, Norhayati (one of Rosmah’s ADC). Currently (11.35am)
Raja Petra is still in the police lockup, under police custody.
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!!
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
