Raja Petra released on bail
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin was released on bail at 9.30 am Friday.His wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, posted bail of RM5,000 on Thursday after her husband agreed to it.
Raja Petra had declined to meet visitors, including his wife, since Tuesday, when he was taken to Sg Buloh prison after refusing to post bail.
Marina finally managed to persuade her husband yesterday.
Speaking to reporters after he was released, Raja Petra said he had declined to meet anyone as there was not much to be done except await his trial, which is scheduled for October.
However, prison authorities urged him to seek release due to concerns over his personal safety in prison, he claimed.
Raja Petra also said he had not eaten anything since he was taken to prison on Tuesday.
Najib Under Siege?
May 6, 2006 – The parliment once again goes under debate. Not that some groups are demonstrating but due to one person taken into court. Yes, if it's not Raja Petra Kamaruddin, who else? The infamous blogger was alleged under Sedition Act 1948 due to his controversial article "Let’s Send the Altantuya Murderers to Hell".
In his article published on April 25, he incited the murder was connected to Deputy Prime Minister; Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife, Datin Rosmah Mansor.
"It seems the Affidavit also reveals that Altantuya was camped outside Razak's house and this caused him to panic. He then went running to Najib, and Rosmah summoned Najib's ADC, Musa Safri, and instructed him to solve Razak's problem. Musa then summoned the two police officers currently on trial. So, it appears like Razak and the two police officers are not the only ones involved. Najib, Rosmah and Musa have also been implicated in this entire thing. And why the need for the police officer to declare that he had already killed six people before this if murder was not what was on everyone's mind?"
I'd rather not write anything on the case as it may contradict with the current case. Let us look into something behind the curtain. Something speculative and will remain so.
The murder case was alleged to be connected with Najib as per hearsay. In previous case that made into New Straits Times, it was Jamaludin Jarjis, an ex-minister which has close connection with Najib. Yes, it was all related, pointed, and directed to Najib. I dare to say, Najib is plotted to fall. As the police force decided to charge this ex-minister under Section 354 of the Penal Code, one is made clear that someone is plotting to weaken Najib's foundations.
Let us see the bigger picture. On April, the Prime Minister made an announcement that Najib will be his successor. This of course, will generate an uncomfortable environment inside UMNO, especially those who are not pro-Najib. Among them is Abdullah's son in law; Khairy Jamaluddin.
Until now, I haven't heard a single statement from Khairy concerning the announcement made by his father-in-law. This confirmed my speculation--HE DID NOT AGREE.
Najib is plotted to fall and the mastermind is Khairy. One needs not to know that there is a 'hidden' war between these two. They are enemies. Although physically they are in the same party, there is a cold war between them. Just like Cold War between America and Russia (1945-1996).
Najib cannot be brought down by force. It will make UMNO looks weaker after the 'Great Lost' during 12th General Election. Najib must be pushed down by the public and to achieve this, the public need to be made aware of cases and personnel related to him. Khairy wants the Malaysian to judge Najib and put him to rest.
The article made by Raja Petra is forming the golden opportunity to Khairy. Arrest Raja Petra and the public will turn into chaotic mode. Even the 'pakcik-makcik' will observe the case. As it progresses, Malaysians will come to speculation that Najib-Rosmah was directly involved. Remind you, rumors spread very fast in this country.
According to Raja Petra, the charge made against him is not to seek justice but rather on political move. I observed Raja Petra and he is not a man who's "doing without knowing".
Yes, Najib is plotted to fall and the fall will be painful. With so many 'blessings' from others, it is a matter of time on the outcome. Whether Najib is aware or not, it's a different issue.
