Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I was mere seconds away from being sent back to Kamunting. Malik was just about to inform the court that we were giving it a walkover. And, suddenly, the court changed its mind and said, yes, it will give us the time we requested after all.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
Recently, the new Information, Communication and Culture Minister rais yatim hosted a dinner for 50 ‘prominent’ socio-political bloggers at a local restaurant in a move to engage the New Media.
Raja Petra Kamarudin and his gang of Barisan Rakyat bloggers were not invited; to ask the reason why would be stupid of me.
This is the same 3-in-1 Minister who not long ago warned bloggers “not to twist the truth or face the music”. It was a naked threat for bloggers to toe the line or face the full force of the law, no matter how unjust the laws are in the repression of our right to free speech.
Such laws are often described as ‘draconian’.
Draco was the law scribe called by the tyrannical nobilities in ancient Athens around the turn of the 7th century BC to codify all the unjust laws used to persecute the ordinary poor citizens. Draco’s laws were infamous for their severity of punishment, even for a minor crime like stealing an apple from an orchard. Death was the commonest punishment for both serious and minor crimes.
Of this grim code of laws, men said they were “written in blood”. That is how the term “draconian laws” came to be synonymous with pieces of harsh inhuman legislation.
Fortunately for ancient Athens, the tyrannical nobilities - especially the “accursed Alcmaeonidae” – were overthrown and banished. The great poet, statesman, and lawmaker, Solon, was authorised to prepare a new set of laws relieving the miseries of the poorer people of Athens. There is a historical lesson to be learned by Malaysians.
One of the people currently persecuted by our Malaysian version of draconian laws is RPK. He has even chosen to be a fugitive of these laws, choosing to exile himself from his home state. “They” are after his blood with “laws written in blood”. Only a change of government at the federal level can save him now, and we may not have to wait long for that to happen.
To 3-in-1 Minister, 'go eat cake!' by Sim Kwang Yang, Malaysiakini (Go here to read the rest of the article http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/103085)
*************************************************
I was just seconds away from being sent back to Kamunting. That was the day the Federal Court sat to hear the appeal against the Shah Alam High Court’s decision to release me from Internal Security Act detention on 7 November 2008.
It was a decision I took against the advice of my panel of lawyers. It was not until the morning of the hearing that we knew who the quorum of judges were going to be. We had asked for a quorum of seven -- if not seven, then at least five. But the Federal Court would allow us only three. Why three? And whose decision was it that it should be three?
The decision was an ‘administrative decision’. In other words, all it needs is for a clerk in the court to decide that it should be three then it would be three. Can we appeal this? Is there a body or panel that can sit to hear our arguments as to why we want it to be more than three? No! It is a unilateral decision by someone unknown -- a faceless and nameless person -- in the court bureaucracy that makes that decision and the decision is final and undisputable.
That morning, to our horror, we found out that one of the three was Justice Augustine Paul. You might as well have asked Rosmah Mansor to hear my case. The effect would have been no different. Augustine Paul was my sworn enemy and, based on what I have said about him over the last ten years, I would be extremely surprised if he does not hate me like hell.
We informed the court that we would like to file an application for Augustine Paul to recuse but the court would not allow us time to do so. They did not want to waste any time, they said. They wanted to get my case over and done with that very day.
“Why did you not file your application earlier?” the court wanted to know. Why the rush? Why the need to make a decision on my case that very day? How could we file our application earlier when we did not know until that very morning that one of the three judges was going to be Augustine Paul?
We did try to find out earlier but the court refused to divulge who the judges were going to be. They would only tell us that it was going to be three judges. But they refused to tell us who these three are. So, not knowing who the judges were until that very morning itself, how could we have filed our application to recuse earlier?
Anyway, we raised all the issues as to why we objected to Augustine Paul and why he should recuse. If he did not, then we would need to file a formal application to get the court to order him to recuse.
And the strangest thing happened after that.
The court said no! They refuse to allow us time to file the application. The case has to proceed with no further delay. My lawyers were perplexed. Why the hurry? Can’t they allow us just another day or two to make a formal application?
Azhar stood up and walked over to the public gallery where I was seated.
“So, how Pete?” Azhar asked me.
“Walk off. If they refuse to allow us time to file our application then walk off. Boycott the hearing.”
Azhar hung his head low and shook it from side to side. “That would mean they would get judgment in default and they will send you back to Kamunting.”
“So be it.” I was determined not to give in even if it cost me my freedom.
I could see that Sam was utterly perturbed with my decision. “Then you had better get ready to run, and run far, if that is your decision.”
“No. No running. I will not allow them to say I am scared.”
“Fuck you! We went through all that trouble to get you out and you just volunteer to walk back into Kamunting.”
Sam walked out of court -- I am not sure whether out of disgust with my decision or to get a nicotine fix. My wife was beginning to suspect that something was wrong. I would not look her in the face lest she read what was on my mind. She can always tell what I am thinking just by looking at me. I suppose after being together for more than 40 years that is inevitable.
Azhar walked back and whispered into Malik’s ear. Malik turned to look at me as if to get my confirmation that this is what I wanted. He need not have said anything. His look was enough to indicate that he had a question on his mind. I nodded, indicating that what Azhar had whispered was correct.
Malik stood up to inform the court that the lawyers were going to stage a walkout. In short, we are boycotting the hearing and the court can go fuck itself for all we care. But before Malik could open his mouth and say what he was about to say, the court suddenly did a U-turn and agreed to give us time.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. I was mere seconds away from being sent back to Kamunting. Malik was just about to inform the court that we were giving it a walkover. And, suddenly, the court changed its mind and said, yes, it will give us the time we requested after all.
I had just bought myself six extra days of freedom.
The second time the court sat I did not attend. This was not my decision but that of the lawyers. They expected the court to turn down all our applications and rush through with a decision. This means, if I were in court, they would detain me on the spot and whisk me back to Kamunting. And the same as for the third hearing six days later -- I also did not attend the hearing.
True enough, our application for another court to hear our application to recuse Augustine Paul was rejected. The same Federal Court that was hearing the appeal against my release wanted to hear the application to recuse Augustine Paul.
How can that be? We are asking that this judge be disqualified and the same judge is being asked to hear the application to disqualify him? Which judge would agree that he is not suited to be a judge? This was ludicrous.
No, Augustine Paul would not be asked to hear the application to disqualify him. He will be asked to leave the room, leaving the other two judges to hear the application. Two judges? We wanted seven. If we cannot have seven, at least five. But you insist on only three. Now you are giving us only two judges? This was getting even more ludicrous.
We objected to this decision but our objection was shot down. Two, and only two, judges will be hearing our application. Malik pointed out that this was illegal and unconstitutional. He argued his case well. He even showed the court where it says that two judges just cannot sit to hear our application.
The court just brushed aside Malik’s arguments. Two judges would sit to hear our application. And the two judges that sat ruled: Augustine Paul need not recuse. He need not be disqualified from hearing the appeal against my release.
Malik then informed the court that, under the circumstances, a sitting of two judges would be unconstitutional and unlawful and he further informed the court that we reserve the right to challenge the decision of the court. Justice Nik Hashim shot back arrogantly: “You can do what you want”. Then Nik Hashim declared that Augustine Paul “could now take his rightful place on the bench”.
That was the last straw. The remark that Augustine Paul “could now take his rightful place on the bench” showed that, in the mind of the court, they had prejudged the case. It was futile to even continue with the hearing. They had written their judgement even before the hearing started.
After that, every application and objection that we raised was shot down, one by one. In some instances, the court would not even demonstrate patience and they just brushed aside whatever we raised without giving us time to present our arguments.
When Azhar informed the court that we would like to present our evidence, Augustine Paul asked Azhar what the relevance of the further evidence was. Azhar replied that it was to establish a jurisdictional error on the part of the Minister as detention under the Internal Security Act was intended to be preventive to avoid further threat. Augustine Paul exclaimed in a dismissive manner “What jurisdictional error?” and subsequently dismissed the application.
Yes, that was how the appeal hearing at the Federal Court was conducted. It just brushed aside everything that was raised and refused to consider whatever was argued, even when it was pointed out that the law and the Constitution allows our applications or arguments.
Classifying the appeal against my release from ISA detention as a kangaroo court would be putting it mildly. However, after all that hullabaloo in the Federal Court and the hurry-burry attitude it had demonstrated, the Federal Court suddenly went very quiet. For two months now nothing has been heard from them. Why?
I did not realise that something was amiss until much later. Around the time of the three by-elections, there were massive traffic jams all over the Kelang Valley because of police roadblocks that had been set up. I was not in town then.
A friend sent me a SMS about the matter and I replied I had already been informed about it. “Do you know?” my friend replied, “that some of the police are your fans?”
“Why do you say that?” I asked.
“Because I saw one holding your photograph.”
I don’t know whether he was just plain naïve or this was his attempt at tongue-in-cheek. Nevertheless, this triggered off the alarm bells in my head and I called up an Umno friend who owed me a favour, big-time.
“Your file is on Najib’s table,” my Umno contact told me. “I attended a meeting where you and Anwar were discussed. Najib told us that you and Anwar have to be dealt with as soon as possible. He wants you both out of action.”
I called up Anwar and he confirmed that he too had received the same information. So it must be true then. My Umno contact then told me a very interesting story.
It seems the AG had summoned the DPP handling my two court cases, Roslan Md Noh, and asked him whether they can secure a conviction in my sedition and criminal defamation trials. Roslan replied that they really don’t have a case against me and should actually consider dropping the charges.
The AG went berserk. He shouted at Roslan and said that Roslan is negative and has an attitude problem. He then removed Roslan from my case and appointed Shahidani Abd Aziz as his replacement. Roslan was then sent into cold storage at the industrial court. That is probably the end of Roslan’s career so he might as well resign from the government and go into private practice.
“They are going to detain you on the 23rd when you attend your sedition trial,” my Umno contact told me.
“How do you know,” I asked him.
“Okay, if on the 23rd Roslan does not turn up and if, instead, Shahidani turns up in his place, then you will know my information is correct.”
I informed one of my lawyers about this matter so that no one can say this is after-the-fact information.
“They know they can’t win their case against you. Roslan has already told the AG this. The only way they can silence you is to send you back to Kamunting under a fresh detention order. That is why they have gone cold on the appeal. They are no longer interested in the appeal because they have issued a new detention order. You turn up in court on the 23rd and you will be back in Kamunting the same day.”
I did not respond to this. I did not know how to.
“Do you know what they fear most?” my Umno contact asked me.
“That I will launch a hunger strike and die in prison?”
“No. They don’t care about that. They are going to set up CCTVs in your cell so that they can prove to the world you caused your own death and that the authorities tried their best to convince you to eat to save your life.”
“Come on Pete. They are ready for you. They know your only weapon is a hunger strike and that you plan to use it. You have been detained twice before and each time you launched a hunger strike while under detention. They are well prepared for that. It will not work the third time.”
“Okay,” I replied. “Then what are they most worried about?”
“They are most worried that you will disappear or go underground or overseas where they can’t touch you and where you will become even more dangerous. That is the greatest fear.”
Hmmm…..interesting. Now that is a thought. They are expecting me to surrender and then launch a hunger strike while under detention. What if I do what they did not expect and what they fear most? That would really knock them off-guard.
Ooooo…..I just love it when I have a devious mind. It is so…..so……so me.

Rais Yatim...is a disgrace to the legal profession....graduating from Singapore...he has clearly forgotten the tough and uncertain future he underwent until Haron Idris threw him a lifeline by giving him a place to stay and tutor students at one of Selangor's Yayasan's hostels.....
When he was out in the woods again during the S46 days .......many thought he would know what principles and doing the right thing meant.....but unlike Tengku Razaleigh and even for that matter Badawi......Rais sees it fit to hide the anguish and anger many Malaysians feel about the outright destruction of this country's institutions by trying to censure blogs...........
Political blogs will die a natural death if the main stream media were transparent which they clearly are not and which Rais shamelessly condones...Blogs like MT, Malaysiakini thrive because they are the messengers of the rakyat's true and sometimes frustrated opinions...Killing the messenger will not help.....
In fact, as history has proven, it will only hasten your own demise....so Rais count your days......

YM RPK,
Your story abt the kangaroo court with nik hashim, augustine paul makes my blood boil. Holy mackerel,these two men were so-called judges! But their conduct was dishonourable & clearly they were placed there to fix you - they appeared to be malicious too. Why get personal with you? This is not even abt their personal war with you which they don't have. It's abt najib and the cruel murder & blowing up of Altantuya.
What kind of offence is committed when judges behaved like those two? They can't get away with these! If Bush & six others can be indicted for war crimes, so can these two & the kerala indian.

I was there to witness ALL the hearings and I must say calling the Court a Kangaroo Court would be to insult the kangaroo.Augustine (hacks) Paul even uttered "Do not waste my time...". This **** do not realise that he is a paid employee of the Judiciary, and no matter how long it takes, he will have to sit and listen and then make judgement.
I was prepared to throw my shoe at the judges (afterall Rais Yatim says it is ok) but decided against it. My shoe do not deserve being thrown at rubbish. It really made me sick to the core to see what our courts have become. The ordinary citizens will have to be educated as to what Mahathir has done, the Evil bugger.
Anyway, It is good to hear that you have gone underground Pete. Ah that explains it as to why I thought I saw you in Paris. It was you was it not? Naughty naughty, so near the La liberation office too.

This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

YM RPK ..
Kita pernah bersua beberapa kali di perkalangan aktiviti bangsa Malaysia sebelum ini ...
Bersama keluarga saya , kami amat berbangga dan berterima kasih kepada YM dan keluarga ...
Saya kini sudah mula berusia dan tidak lagi mampu menjadi seekor binatang umno lagi ...
Allah telah memberi sokongan kepada saya untuk bertaubat ....
Saya percaya suatu hari nanti , saya juga akan diISAkan oleh binatang umno ..
Saya tidak ingin berasa takut lagi seperti dahulu ...
hidup mati saya tetap sebagai seorang bangsa Malaysia.
Ini adalah tanahair tempatku dilahirkan ....
walaupun dipinggirkan oleh golongan elit bersama dengan kezaliman umno , saya tetap
menjadi Bangsa Malaysia ....
Allah akan memberkati Malaysiaku ..

Pete,
Lest see some say you are in the UK, one say you are in Paris, you said you want to be the next Mongolian ambassador for Thailand & Malaysia, meaning you could be in Bangkok, but again you could also be in Ulan Bator as the newest citizen of Mongolia. Me I think you are in Swaziland or maybe Reykjavík.
Aduh, Abang you have gone International la.

Meanwhile, ne careful if you must meet friends in person lest they be followed. Find a new haven and make new friends and remain incognito. Need money, that is not difficult, you know.

MT: Arrest warrant out for Raja Petra
Arrest warrant out for Raja Petra PDF Print E-mail

(The Star) - The Sessions Court here issued a warrant of arrest against Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin on Thursday after he failed to turn up for his sedition trial.
His lawyer J. Chandra informed judge Rozina Ayob that his client did not turn up in court on the grounds he is on a self-imposed exile from the state for “reasons that are well known.”
“You know these ‘well known reasons,’ so please highlight them to the court,” Rozina said.
“The accused is posting his reasons on his website this morning,” said Chandra.
“You expect the court to go through that, is it?” the judge said.
Chandra then went out to explain that for over a month now, Raja Petra, 58, has posted articles or comments on issues in relation to the Selangor royal house that have angered some members of his own family who have demanded an apology.
On Malaysia Today, explaining why he did not attend court Thursday, Raja Petra wrote, “My family then gave me an ultimatum. I was to either make that public apology or else my family would insert an advertisement in the mainstream newspapers practically distancing itself from me, which could be interpreted as disowning me ....
“I went into exile outside Selangor ... . It has to be noted that this has always been the punishment for any member of the Selangor Royal Family who is considered durhaka (traitorous) since the beginning of the Selangor Sultanate more than 250 years ago.”
He also wrote that another reason why he did not attend court was the he did not expect to get a fair trial.
In court on Thursday, his lawyer Chandra added, “You have to bear in mind that he is a member of royalty and this self-imposed exile is a punishment he has handed out to himself.”
His wife Marina Lee, who is also his bailor, was also absent.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Shahidani Aziz asked for a warrant of arrest to be issued against Raja Petra and a notice of showcause for his wife and bailor Marina. The judge granted both and set May 22 for mention.
Raja Petra, a former Internal Security Act detainee, had on May 6 2008 claimed trial to publishing a seditious article on his Malaysia Today news portal on April 25 of that same year.
He is accused of publishing the article Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell on the website www.malaysia-today.net.
The charge under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act 1948 carries a maximum fine of RM5,000 or three years' jail or both upon conviction.

I'm so glad that RPK has finally decided to seek refuge outside and not fight the unfair establishment head-on through the courts. If we had a truly independent judiciary, then he does not have to worry about being arrested because he will get his day in court. But we all know that he will never ever get a fair trial so what's the point of being stupid and make a sacrifice of oneself when it is not a level playing field? If he goes into the slammer again, you can be sure they will never ever let him out. He is much more useful fighting from the outside rather than langusihing in jail where he can do nothing but just serve as a testimony of the injustice in Malaysian and also provide inspiration to all Malaysians to continue with the battle ( which we are slowly but surely going to win).
RPK, I do hope that you're somewhere safe now and thus can do even more damage to accelerate the demise of the BN government. Rock on, RPK !!!

Even his holiness and exalted ulama Ayotallah Khomenei of Iran had to seek years of refuge in France before he saw fruition in bringing down a despotic regime of the former playboy Shah of Iran. Now the people of Iran are truly democractic and amply guided by the Religious ulamas that ensure that Iran would not fall in to the trap of uncontrolled ills of materialism that should be shunned. If only truly follows the footsteps of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, then and only then will one understand ulamas in the like of Ayatollah Khomenei and our Tok Guru Nik Azia. Don't forget that too much wealth aggrandized from the blessings of Almighty Allah and stolen from his people and meek followers is one of the biggest sin in Islam. Any many of our corrupt scumbag leaders are all awaiting judgement day for these very crime on humanity.

I always thought Tuanku is far more open-minded and in tune with the aspirations of the rakyat, specifically the anak anak Selangor, than so many others.

After two ISA detentions, I do not plan to allow them to get me so easily the third time around. I also refuse to face treason charges that will result in me being sent to the gallows. I love my life and wish to remain alive a few years longer if possible.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
I wish to explain why I am not going to be present in court today, 23rd April 2009. Firstly, it involves my recent dispute with the Selangor Palace. This dispute was due to my open letter to the Perak Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, which I wrote on 2nd March 2009 in response to the ongoing Perak Constitutional Crisis. My family said I had acted in a treasonous manner and they wanted me to issue a public apology to the Sultan of Perak.
I refused to comply with my family’s demand and instead wrote two articles condemning the Perak Palace for violating the Federal Constitution of Malaysia and for ignoring the wishes of the rakyat. My opinion is no different from that of NH Chan, the former Court of Appeal judge, which you can read in the addendum below.
The Sultan of Selangor was very angry and that triggered a conflict between our two families. My family told me I had brought shame to the family name and they demanded that I attend a family meeting to discuss the matter. However, I did not attend that family meeting and this aggravated the situation.
My family then gave me an ultimatum. I was to either make that public apology or else my family would insert an advertisement in the mainstream newspapers practically distancing itself from me, which could be interpreted as disowning me. My response to that was, and in accordance with the normal action to be taken against a member of the kerabat who durhaka, I went into exile outside Selangor. As a matter of fact, I even missed two recent family funerals, as I could not, and would not, step foot in Selangor ever again.
It has to be noted that this has always been the punishment for any member of the Selangor Royal Family who is considered durhaka since the beginning of the Selangor Sultanate more than 250 years ago. My grandfather, Sultan Musa, was in fact subjected to that same punishment and it is the only punishment befitting a member of the Selangor Royal Family who has courted the displeasure of the Palace.
This means, in short, I can no longer attend the court hearing as the same is heard in Petaling Jaya, which is invariably within the state of Selangor.
The second reason is as follows:
In September 2008, I was detained under the Internal Security Act for what I was alleged to have written regarding the Altantuya murder and the alleged links to those who walk in the corridors of power. However, I am already facing trial on sedition and criminal defamation charges in this court as well as in the Kuala Lumpur court.
Now, my ISA detention in September 2008 was for the same crime as what I have been charged in this court (sedition) and in the Kuala Lumpur court (criminal defamation). This means I am being punished twice for the same crime and the law does not provide for one to be punished twice for the same crime.
No doubt, in November 2008, the Shah Alam court ruled my detention illegal and subsequently ordered my release. Nevertheless, the government is appealing this decision, giving a clear indication that it wants me back in Kamunting whereby I will face punishment without trial on top of the two trials I am being made to face -- which, as I said, are for those same crimes.
The events of late do not give me any confidence that I will get a fair trial. Even if the Petaling Jaya court acquits me, they can still appeal the decision of the court like what they are doing with the Shah Alam court’s decision to free me from ISA detention. And the manner the Federal Court conducted itself during the recent ISA appeal hearing is very troubling indeed and borders on unprofessional conduct.
Finally, my open letter to Nizar Jamaluddin has been classified as treason and the government wants to charge me for treason. The fact that no such law exists will not stop them as they can use the ‘waging war against the King’ law that they used against some of the Al Maunah members, which resulted in them being hanged in the Sungai Buloh Prison in October 2006.
Many of my friends have spotted police vehicles parked outside their house. Others have noticed police officers loitering in front of their residence while some have been summoned to Bukit Aman for interrogation. The police want them to reveal where I am currently residing.
Why are the police looking for me? Two months ago, the Federal Court was in a hurry to hear the appeal against my release from ISA detention. After impatiently rejecting all our applications and refusing to allow us time to file the necessary papers, the court suddenly went cold and nothing was heard from it since.
This got me very suspicious. I did some checking and have reason to believe that a new detention order has been issued and that is why the police are looking for me. If I were to turn up in court today I would never be allowed to leave. The police would immediately detain me and send me to Kamunting and this time I shall not be so fortunate as to see freedom in two months like in the last two occasions.
After two ISA detentions, I do not plan to allow them to get me so easily the third time around. I also refuse to face treason charges that will result in me being sent to the gallows. I love my life and wish to remain alive a few years longer if possible.
Those are the reasons I am not in court today. I shall, however, attend the court hearing when the situation permits, i.e., I am no longer to be charged for treason and I get an assurance from the powers-that-be that the Government’s appeal against my ISA release is withdrawn forthwith and that no new detention order has been issued. After all, if the Razak Baginda acquittal was not appealed upon, why am I being treated differently?
Raja Petra Bin Raja Kamarudin
23rd April 2009
******************************************
ADDENDUM: Opinion of NH CHAN is former Court of Appeal judge
Malaysiakini, 20th February 2009
Now we know why the people of Perak and elsewhere in Malaysia, are making harsh statements about the sultan. A quick search on the Internet will prove this.
It is the perception of the people that matters; and the confidence of the people is destroyed when they go away thinking that he was biased - that he had been influenced by Najib.
It is very sad that Sultan Azlan Shah, who had been held in high esteem internationally and by the populace, has, in a careless moment, lost all that.
His reputation for fairness and justice has been shattered when they go away thinking that he had been influenced by Najib or that he has favoured BN. It does not matter whether he did, in fact, favour one side unfairly.
Suffice it that reasonable people might think that he did. The die is cast and we cannot put the clock back. Hereafter, there may be many who will no longer believe in his speeches on good governance and the integrity of the judiciary.
The impression is that he does not practise what he preaches.
When the menteri besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the legislative assembly, he has two choices.
First, he may request the ruler to dissolve the assembly for the purpose of a state election. Second, if his request is turned down by the ruler, "he shall tender the resignation of the executive council”.
This is provided in Article XVI, Clause (6) which reads: "(6) if the Menteri Besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly, then unless at his request His Royal Highness dissolves the Legislative Assembly, he shall tender the resignation of the Executive Council."
What Article XVI, Clause (6) says is this: If the menteri besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the legislative assembly, he shall tender the resignation of the executive council, unless the ruler has, at the request of the menteri besar, dissolved the legislative assembly.
However, in the present case, Mohd Nizar on Feb 4, had requested the ruler to dissolve the legislative assembly, and the ruler informed him on Feb 5 that he acted in his discretion to withhold his consent for the dissolution of the assembly.
That being the case, the menteri besar has no other choice but to tender the resignation of the executive council.
Under Article XWI, Clause (2), paragraph (b), the ruler has a personal discretion to withhold his consent to the menteri besar's request for the dissolution of the legislative assembly.
Unfortunately, the ruler, in the present case, has acted unconstitutionally when he side stepped the constitutional provisions of Article XVI, Clause (6) of the laws of the Perak constitution.
This was what he did.
The Sultan of Perak’s media statement said: “Mohd Nizar was summoned to an audience with the sultan to be informed of the ruler’s decision not to dissolve the State Assembly, and in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI (6) of the Perak Darul Ridzuan State Constitution, the Sultan of Perak ordered Mohd Nizar to resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the members of the state executive council with immediate effect.
“If Mohd Nizar does not resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the state executive council members, then the posts of menteri besar and state executive councillors are regarded as vacant.”
As we know the sultan is a constitutional monarch who has no power to rule except a couple of discretionary powers mentioned in Article XVIII, Clause (2).
So, apart from the couple of matters mentioned in Article XVIII, Clause (2), the Sultan of Perak has no power to order Mohd Nizar to resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the members of the state executive council with immediate effect.
Nor has he the power to declare that the posts of menteri besar and state executive councillors are regarded as vacant.
In the present case, the menteri besar had acted under Article XVI, Clause (6) which permitted him to request the ruler to dissolve the legislative assembly if he ceased to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the legislative assembly.
In this case, the ruler turned down his request. Then the menteri besar has no choice but "to tender the resignation of the executive council".
So, why did the ruler, in the present case, depart from the provisions of Article XVI, Clause (6)?
Under the provisions of Clause (6), the sultan knew that the ball was in the menteri besar's court and it was to be the menteri besar who "should tender the resignation of the executive council".
Yet he chose to ignore these provisions of the Perak constitution.

RPK smilies/cool.gif,
In principle {as it is & has been the practice , not the law},
if you as Orang Yang Kena Tuduh{OKT}do not present yourself in Court,
on the appointed date of trial,
A WARRANT OF ARREST {WA} will be issued on you.
Further, your bailor will be issued a SHOW CAUSE as to why your bail should not be forefeited.
And whilst the above grounds {as you have stated} are really very strong,
the prosecutors will never{thus far} come out in open court to state that what you are saying is true!!.
The collateral issue is that if there is/are "Detention Orders"{DO} already out on you, such does not come within the purview of the Courts,
and therefore the parties concerned are not obliged at all to reveal their existence or non existence!
Thus the principle of double jeopardy - duplicity/multiplicity of proceedings/charges against you,
has been quite well thought out{on the face of it}.
Simply change the charges & there you have it.
In essence ,YAM, you could well be declared a fugitive,
whereupon the Court could well proceed with the trial/s,
in your absence,
and as the "rebuttals" are not forthcoming from you,
thus the conviction could well happen.
As I said the whole situation you face is from a JURISPRUDENTIAL
point of view very fascinating.
However,
from a human point of view,
I know how demoralising,dehumanising & extremly stressful it is.
There used to be a very affectionate swear-phrase : A ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT!
YAM! You most certainly are!
You have placed the proverbial firecracker up all our rear ends,
making us reeavluate all matters,
conduct intense soul searching &
open all our crinkled thoughts & assumptions
for fresh & exiciting new wave & progressive actions.
Many of the compardes, I have met - what a bunch.
Many I know of.
Many of us are really powerless to kick butt.
Only to wish, hope & transmit to you,family, friends
our fervent,positive wishes & prayers,
that The ALMIGHTY will grant you protection, comfort & shelter.
Godspeed,YAM,Godspeed,
Mr.M

Raja Petra Kamarudin
I wish to explain why I am not going to be present in court today, 23rd April 2009. Firstly, it involves my recent dispute with the Selangor Palace. This dispute was due to my open letter to the Perak Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, which I wrote on 2nd March 2009 in response to the ongoing Perak Constitutional Crisis. My family said I had acted in a treasonous manner and they wanted me to issue a public apology to the Sultan of Perak
WE NEED U ALIVE AND WELL TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT FOR TRUE JUSTICE. BE CAREFUL OF C4S AND TRIGGER HAPPY BLOKES NOW THAT YOU ARE A FUGITIVE AND WANTED. THEY MAY NOT WANT U BACK ALIVE. MAYBE GUANTANAMO WOULD BE SAFER FOR YOU LAH.

I agree we cannot trust the judiciary now, least of all for what the Federal court has ruled for UMNO in Perak, and that ruling is in contravention of the provisions of the constitution. But UMNO says, who cares? Just remember, the chief justice is UMNO's trusted man, and UMNO did all it could to put him there!!!

Thank you for your Trust - To let the Rakyat kick BN out at next GE
Thank you for your Love - For Justice, Peace and Harmony
Also, Thank you Marina and family. Without your personal love, support and sacrifices for many, many years, RPK can never be who he is today.

Dearest Pete,
My heart, prayers & thoughts go out to you, Marina and the kids during these trying times (everyday, in fact). As always, we ae solidly behind your stand and will continue to seek GODs guidance & blessing to you. Well, the Shitty Trinity (as opposed to Holy Trinity) is all set to release the wrath upon you and certain prominent bloggers, so it's good that you take heed and continue to do what's best for your family, yourself.
Nevertheless, I am in the opinion that since you will never have your "fair" day in court, just start the rock/ rolling and publish the evidences for the world to know. Lets colloborate/ collectively put all our mouths, actions & writings where it matters most (me included).
I have been talking to quite a handful of folks on the streets and they are too pissed off/ fed up with all these games by both sides of the political divide. Instead of moving forward and looking at the RAKYATs problems, all we hear & see are the bitching and endless political assasination amongst our wakils that we have elected.
We, the bosses, should start to come to our senses and fend for ourselves. The ruling & opposition parties are too engrossed in power play and we are neglected, period !
Stay safe & be blessed always,
Muhammad Firdaus Christopher

If I were to turn up in court today I would never be allowed to leave. The police would immediately detain me and send me to Kamunting and this time I shall not be so fortunate as to see freedom in two months like in the last two occasions.

Well, even if I don't agree with your absence from the hearing, I still feel that you made the right decision. Your absence will give them more alibi to catch you (or the other way round, since they have been looking out for you before the court hearing).

After two ISA detentions, I do not plan to allow them to get me so easily the third time around. I also refuse to face treason charges that will result in me being sent to the gallows. I love my life and wish to remain alive a few years longer if possible.
NO HOLDS BARRED
Raja Petra Kamarudin
I wish to explain why I am not going to be present in court today, 23rd April 2009. Firstly, it involves my recent dispute with the Selangor Palace. This dispute was due to my open letter to the Perak Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, which I wrote on 2nd March 2009 in response to the ongoing Perak Constitutional Crisis. My family said I had acted in a treasonous manner and they wanted me to issue a public apology to the Sultan of Perak.
I refused to comply with my family’s demand and instead wrote two articles condemning the Perak Palace for violating the Federal Constitution of Malaysia and for ignoring the wishes of the rakyat. My opinion is no different from that of NH Chan, the former Court of Appeal judge, which you can read in the addendum below.
The Sultan of Selangor was very angry and that triggered a conflict between our two families. My family told me I had brought shame to the family name and they demanded that I attend a family meeting to discuss the matter. However, I did not attend that family meeting and this aggravated the situation.
My family then gave me an ultimatum. I was to either make that public apology or else my family would insert an advertisement in the mainstream newspapers practically distancing itself from me, which could be interpreted as disowning me. My response to that was, and in accordance with the normal action to be taken against a member of the kerabat who durhaka, I went into exile outside Selangor. As a matter of fact, I even missed two recent family funerals, as I could not, and would not, step foot in Selangor ever again.
It has to be noted that this has always been the punishment for any member of the Selangor Royal Family who is considered durhaka since the beginning of the Selangor Sultanate more than 250 years ago. My grandfather, Sultan Musa, was in fact subjected to that same punishment and it is the only punishment befitting a member of the Selangor Royal Family who has courted the displeasure of the Palace.
This means, in short, I can no longer attend the court hearing as the same is heard in Petaling Jaya, which is invariably within the state of Selangor.
The second reason is as follows:
In September 2008, I was detained under the Internal Security Act for what I was alleged to have written regarding the Altantuya murder and the alleged links to those who walk in the corridors of power. However, I am already facing trial on sedition and criminal defamation charges in this court as well as in the Kuala Lumpur court.
Now, my ISA detention in September 2008 was for the same crime as what I have been charged in this court (sedition) and in the Kuala Lumpur court (criminal defamation). This means I am being punished twice for the same crime and the law does not provide for one to be punished twice for the same crime.
No doubt, in November 2008, the Shah Alam court ruled my detention illegal and subsequently ordered my release. Nevertheless, the government is appealing this decision, giving a clear indication that it wants me back in Kamunting whereby I will face punishment without trial on top of the two trials I am being made to face -- which, as I said, are for those same crimes.
The events of late do not give me any confidence that I will get a fair trial. Even if the Petaling Jaya court acquits me, they can still appeal the decision of the court like what they are doing with the Shah Alam court’s decision to free me from ISA detention. And the manner the Federal Court conducted itself during the recent ISA appeal hearing is very troubling indeed and borders on unprofessional conduct.
Finally, my open letter to Nizar Jamaluddin has been classified as treason and the government wants to charge me for treason. The fact that no such law exists will not stop them as they can use the ‘waging war against the King’ law that they used against some of the Al Maunah members, which resulted in them being hanged in the Sungai Buloh Prison in October 2006.
Many of my friends have spotted police vehicles parked outside their house. Others have noticed police officers loitering in front of their residence while some have been summoned to Bukit Aman for interrogation. The police want them to reveal where I am currently residing.
Why are the police looking for me? Two months ago, the Federal Court was in a hurry to hear the appeal against my release from ISA detention. After impatiently rejecting all our applications and refusing to allow us time to file the necessary papers, the court suddenly went cold and nothing was heard from it since.
This got me very suspicious. I did some checking and have reason to believe that a new detention order has been issued and that is why the police are looking for me. If I were to turn up in court today I would never be allowed to leave. The police would immediately detain me and send me to Kamunting and this time I shall not be so fortunate as to see freedom in two months like in the last two occasions.
After two ISA detentions, I do not plan to allow them to get me so easily the third time around. I also refuse to face treason charges that will result in me being sent to the gallows. I love my life and wish to remain alive a few years longer if possible.
Those are the reasons I am not in court today. I shall, however, attend the court hearing when the situation permits, i.e., I am no longer to be charged for treason and I get an assurance from the powers-that-be that the Government’s appeal against my ISA release is withdrawn forthwith and that no new detention order has been issued. After all, if the Razak Baginda acquittal was not appealed upon, why am I being treated differently?
Raja Petra Bin Raja Kamarudin
23rd April 2009
******************************************
ADDENDUM: Opinion of NH CHAN is former Court of Appeal judge
Malaysiakini, 20th February 2009
Now we know why the people of Perak and elsewhere in Malaysia, are making harsh statements about the sultan. A quick search on the Internet will prove this.
It is the perception of the people that matters; and the confidence of the people is destroyed when they go away thinking that he was biased - that he had been influenced by Najib.
It is very sad that Sultan Azlan Shah, who had been held in high esteem internationally and by the populace, has, in a careless moment, lost all that.
His reputation for fairness and justice has been shattered when they go away thinking that he had been influenced by Najib or that he has favoured BN. It does not matter whether he did, in fact, favour one side unfairly.
Suffice it that reasonable people might think that he did. The die is cast and we cannot put the clock back. Hereafter, there may be many who will no longer believe in his speeches on good governance and the integrity of the judiciary.
The impression is that he does not practise what he preaches.
When the menteri besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the legislative assembly, he has two choices.
First, he may request the ruler to dissolve the assembly for the purpose of a state election. Second, if his request is turned down by the ruler, "he shall tender the resignation of the executive council”.
This is provided in Article XVI, Clause (6) which reads: "(6) if the Menteri Besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly, then unless at his request His Royal Highness dissolves the Legislative Assembly, he shall tender the resignation of the Executive Council."
What Article XVI, Clause (6) says is this: If the menteri besar ceases to command the confidence of the majority of the legislative assembly, he shall tender the resignation of the executive council, unless the ruler has, at the request of the menteri besar, dissolved the legislative assembly.
However, in the present case, Mohd Nizar on Feb 4, had requested the ruler to dissolve the legislative assembly, and the ruler informed him on Feb 5 that he acted in his discretion to withhold his consent for the dissolution of the assembly.
That being the case, the menteri besar has no other choice but to tender the resignation of the executive council.
Under Article XWI, Clause (2), paragraph (b), the ruler has a personal discretion to withhold his consent to the menteri besar's request for the dissolution of the legislative assembly.
Unfortunately, the ruler, in the present case, has acted unconstitutionally when he side stepped the constitutional provisions of Article XVI, Clause (6) of the laws of the Perak constitution.
This was what he did.
The Sultan of Perak’s media statement said: “Mohd Nizar was summoned to an audience with the sultan to be informed of the ruler’s decision not to dissolve the State Assembly, and in accordance with the provisions of Article XVI (6) of the Perak Darul Ridzuan State Constitution, the Sultan of Perak ordered Mohd Nizar to resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the members of the state executive council with immediate effect.
“If Mohd Nizar does not resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the state executive council members, then the posts of menteri besar and state executive councillors are regarded as vacant.”
As we know the sultan is a constitutional monarch who has no power to rule except a couple of discretionary powers mentioned in Article XVIII, Clause (2).
So, apart from the couple of matters mentioned in Article XVIII, Clause (2), the Sultan of Perak has no power to order Mohd Nizar to resign from his post as Perak menteri besar together with the members of the state executive council with immediate effect.
Nor has he the power to declare that the posts of menteri besar and state executive councillors are regarded as vacant.
In the present case, the menteri besar had acted under Article XVI, Clause (6) which permitted him to request the ruler to dissolve the legislative assembly if he ceased to command the confidence of the majority of the members of the legislative assembly.
In this case, the ruler turned down his request. Then the menteri besar has no choice but "to tender the resignation of the executive council".
So, why did the ruler, in the present case, depart from the provisions of Article XVI, Clause (6)?
Under the provisions of Clause (6), the sultan knew that the ball was in the menteri besar's court and it was to be the menteri besar who "should tender the resignation of the executive council".
Yet he chose to ignore these provisions of the Perak constitution.

RPK smilies/cool.gif,
In principle {as it is & has been the practice , not the law},
if you as Orang Yang Kena Tuduh{OKT}do not present yourself in Court,
on the appointed date of trial,
A WARRANT OF ARREST {WA} will be issued on you.
Further, your bailor will be issued a SHOW CAUSE as to why your bail should not be forefeited.
And whilst the above grounds {as you have stated} are really very strong,
the prosecutors will never{thus far} come out in open court to state that what you are saying is true!!.
The collateral issue is that if there is/are "Detention Orders"{DO} already out on you, such does not come within the purview of the Courts,
and therefore the parties concerned are not obliged at all to reveal their existence or non existence!
Thus the principle of double jeopardy - duplicity/multiplicity of proceedings/charges against you,
has been quite well thought out{on the face of it}.
Simply change the charges & there you have it.
In essence ,YAM, you could well be declared a fugitive,
whereupon the Court could well proceed with the trial/s,
in your absence,
and as the "rebuttals" are not forthcoming from you,
thus the conviction could well happen.
As I said the whole situation you face is from a JURISPRUDENTIAL
point of view very fascinating.
However,
from a human point of view,
I know how demoralising,dehumanising & extremly stressful it is.
There used to be a very affectionate swear-phrase : A ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT!
YAM! You most certainly are!
You have placed the proverbial firecracker up all our rear ends,
making us reeavluate all matters,
conduct intense soul searching &
open all our crinkled thoughts & assumptions
for fresh & exiciting new wave & progressive actions.
Many of the compardes, I have met - what a bunch.
Many I know of.
Many of us are really powerless to kick butt.
Only to wish, hope & transmit to you,family, friends
our fervent,positive wishes & prayers,
that The ALMIGHTY will grant you protection, comfort & shelter.
Godspeed,YAM,Godspeed,
Mr.M

And we so know that as YM RPK is staying away, he is sharpening his sword and will continue the fight till the war is won!!

Thank God, you have shirked your stubborn attitude and decided to evade them. I'm sure Mrs RPK did something about it. I say Thank You Mrs RPK for putting some sense into that thick headed husband of yours.
I'm sincerely and truly glad that you are safe, RPK, people like you must walk this earth and cleanse it, and not be shackled up.
Thanks for the "thoughts that you are free" which I am relishing with tears swelling in my eyes.
Thanks Mahatma.

Raja Petra Kamarudin
I wish to explain why I am not going to be present in court today, 23rd April 2009. Firstly, it involves my recent dispute with the Selangor Palace. This dispute was due to my open letter to the Perak Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Nizar Jamaluddin, which I wrote on 2nd March 2009 in response to the ongoing Perak Constitutional Crisis. My family said I had acted in a treasonous manner and they wanted me to issue a public apology to the Sultan of Perak

But UMNO says, who cares? Just remember, the chief justice is UMNO's trusted man, and UMNO did all it could to put him there!!!

Dearest Pete,
My heart, prayers & thoughts go out to you, Marina and the kids during these trying times (everyday, in fact). As always, we ae solidly behind your stand and will continue to seek GODs guidance & blessing to you. Well, the Shitty Trinity (as opposed to Holy Trinity) is all set to release the wrath upon you and certain prominent bloggers, so it's good that you take heed and continue to do what's best for your family, yourself.
Nevertheless, I am in the opinion that since you will never have your "fair" day in court, just start the rock/ rolling and publish the evidences for the world to know. Lets colloborate/ collectively put all our mouths, actions & writings where it matters most (me included).
I have been talking to quite a handful of folks on the streets and they are too pissed off/ fed up with all these games by both sides of the political divide. Instead of moving forward and looking at the RAKYATs problems, all we hear & see are the bitching and endless political assasination amongst our wakils that we have elected.
We, the bosses, should start to come to our senses and fend for ourselves. The ruling & opposition parties are too engrossed in power play and we are neglected, period !
Stay safe & be blessed always,
Muhammad Firdaus Christopher

The police would immediately detain me and send me to Kamunting and this time I shall not be so fortunate as to see freedom in two months like in the last two occasions.

RPK and Madame Marina both have respectable stature which the decent rakyat always salute and where ever they are, they will always live in our hearts. They shall never be forgotten of their great contribution to justice, fair society and upholding of principles to make our Nation a respectable place with good fame and a country of dignity in the world big family!

Your absence from the previous Bukit & Batang by-elections were indicators of something brewing. Of course, your previous few articles have also indicated that you were under some kind of duress, before you blew the story open.
Well, even if I don't agree with your absence from the hearing, I still feel that you made the right decision. Your absence will give them more alibi to catch you (or the other way round, since they have been looking out for you before the court hearing).
Take care RPK Sire, wherever you are.
Please also indicate to us if you really need some fund for yourself.

The best move ever. I hope you are overseas. Don't come back and let them lock you up. If you need funds, just let us know and we will ever be so happy to help you. A true Malaysian hero.

Good RPK,
For once you are very practical.
Better to be alive to keep fighting and getting caught by a kangaroo court.
Please stay safe.

We are solidly with RPK! The country is in its darkest age, even worst than colonial time!

apabila manusia zalim dan tamak hilang punca pedoman kehidupan .....
mereka mengelarkan diri mereka sebagai golongan elit ..
dan menjadi diri mereka seakan tuhan .......
mereka bersekongkong dengan umno agar punca kewangan mereka dijamin dan kedudukan mereka tidak tergugat dalam apa situasi pun ...
mereka bergelar yang berada kini ..... melahirkan generasi keturunan mereka yang tidak beradat langsung dan bergaya hidup barat yang merosakkan perlembagaan Malaysia ...
YM , Malaysia tidak lagi mempunyai sistem kehakiman yang tulin dan hanya memihak kepada golongan elit ...
tamak mereka sudah tidak boleh diperhentikan kerana anjing-anjing muda mereka terlalu ghairah berasuah hingga kewangan dan sumber kekayaan negara habis dicuri mereka ...
Islam cuma merupakaan kata manis untuk menipu bangsa Melayu agar tetap menyokong mereka ...
YM .... kita tetap rakyat Malaysia yang paling jati ...
itulah SATU Malaysia bersuara .....
kebebasan Malaysia daripada kezaliman umno akan Allah memberkatikan ..
roh-roh mangsa kezaliman razak serta roh aminah akan menuntut bela mereka sekarang..

You may or may not have read my recent comments on your situation, Tuan RPK, but this is exactly what i had asked you to do: Go disappear and call the shots from behind the curtains. More than ever, malaysians need you, and need you free. You are of no use behind bars.
Our prayers are with you, and i'll have one for you at Thaqwa.

RPK, I support your choice of action. Let us all keep the light of compassion, reason and justice shining on the darkness of evil. We don't quit, we don't stop.
May the force be with you.

It's the best news for the day - stay away and be safe and free.
RPK won't get a fair trial in our "correctx3" courts, only a show trial.

Good move. You can put yourself to better use out of Kamunting than in. The job is not done yet. I hope you are no more in Malaysia. Be careful, wherever you are. God bless and keeps you. True son of Malaysia.

Ok RPK...NIce Bollywood story about the Selangor Sultanate whom no one really cares for anymore.....
But you dissapearing is the sanest thing you have done this last three years....Now stay out of the country and build a resistance that no freedom fighter has ever done...take a leaf from Timor Leste and campaign anad cajoul till the whole world knows about this country.....we will then submit your name for the Noble Peace Prize...I suggest you hide out in Cheshire, Norwich or Middlewich or maybe at your mom's kampong in Wales....the Welsh will throw a ring around you.....but dont forget us.....fight on wherever you are and free this country from UMNO and THe Pohlice.........
