		<description>RPK is pushing the authorities to the limit. By allowing and not being able to monitor extreme comments in his blog, he is advocating ararchy. There is a limit to one's freedom. That is a fact. One's freedom ends when one incites hatred and becomes seditious. It is incumbent on the authorities to act when that becomes the case. The government has been very lenient on certain bloggers and this has made some bloggers think they are heroes for talking about highly sensitive issues. It is time to return to earth. By being arrogant, RPK acts no better than the people he condems in the establishment. Now he wants us to defend him. Sorry old chap, you are a Malay Muslim who is the mouth-piece of the aliens, as shown in the program "Blog". Turn to them for support, you have no sympathy from me.

Slam the LAW on his face. Give him his day in court then send him to jail! At least he can't claim to be detained without trial!</description>

		<description>Biggie,

I agree with you totally.... Blogging must come with responsibility.

It is unfortunate however that Malaysians have an overwhelming appetite for drama and conspiracy theories, and appetite which RPK detected and quickly exploited.

In the Altantuya case for example, thanks to RPK and his ilk, most Malaysians take it as a truth that the DPM and his wife is somwhow involved. But when confronted directly, and on point to point, everyone admits that there is no evidence except the fact that Razak is a friend of DPM.

They don't know Razak, and don't know his character
They don't know that the police officers are NOT the bodyguards of Najib
They believe in a picture that doesn't exist
They believe in a one-liner of a mongolian witness who said she heard (it doesn't get more "hearsay" than that!)the name "Najib Razak" mentioned by Altantuya. -Who is this witness? what is her track record?who paid for her expenses in Malaysia? Who has most to gain from Najib being smeared?... when you ask these questions of people who allege Najib's involvement, they cannot answer.

But they believe that he and/or his wife is involved. Why? Because of RPK and his pandering of lies and half-truths. And now he thumbs his nose up to the police, making himself out like a hero, after he was released following questioning in Bukit Aman. He mocks the police mercilessly, and fashions himself some kind of modern-day people's martyr.

I think enough is enough la. Like a previous commentator said: He is an &lt;strong&gt;ANARCHIST&lt;/strong&gt;.  RPK shouldn't be above the law. He shouldn't be allowed to say whatever he wants to say just because he has a following.</description>

		<description>Big Dog,
I do agree on your post to a certain extent. 
However, look at our MSM. The "Court of Public Opinion" rejected them in droves as proved during the GE.

Most of us believe that we are being misled by the BN owned media. That is why people are looking into alternative news sources and the internet is the best option around.

Until the MSM is fully independent, I believe that internet still plays an important role. (whether the facts are true or not, that is another matter. It's up to the Court of Public Opinion to judge).

Cheers.</description>

		<description>Big Guy,

Jelas ini mengenai Raja Petra. Aku rasa dia ni sudah terlampau kurang ajar!

Raja Petra ini memang seorang &lt;strong&gt;ANARCHIST!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;

Tidak menghormati sebarang undang undang, peraturan, protokol, etika dan proses norma kehidupan langsung!

Dia main langgor saja dengan undang undang, peraturan dan tatacara sendiri dan ianya berubah ubah ikut selera dia, bila bila sempat aja!

Lihat kes bagaimana dia bagi kerjasama apabila Polis memanggil untuk mengambil kenyataan Julai lepas. Lepas tu kes Tan Sri Dr. Nordin Kardi saman dia - buat tak peduli langsung! Tidak peduli untuk minta peguam wakili dalam mahkamah pun!!!!

Kemudian kes terbaru ini!

Boleh ka masyarakat kita, bergerak kalau ada manusia yang tidak langsung hormati sesiapa, apa apa atau sebarang undang undang/peraturan/protokol????

Ini serupa binatang buas, dalam tak ubah tatacara "Law of the jungle"!!!!
&lt;strong&gt;
ANYTHING GOES!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I would like to quote some extracts from the Mufti of Perlis (http://drmaza.com/english_section/?p=51) in respect of the above caption which is most apt to my Muslim bloggers. 

“This period is like a season of ‘political fitnah’. The word fitnah is always translated by our Malay community as making untrue accusations. However, the word fitnah as it is being used by al-Quran and Sunnah does not imply such meaning.

As for the words ‘a period of fitnah’, it means a period of tests and tribulations that can potentially disturb the Muslims’ faith and life’s serenity. It confuses people making it difficult for them to make their standpoints and to hold firmly to the correct principles due to the challenges, trials and pressures that exist during that period.

Various kinds of talks are being heard everywhere. SMS’s are also flying around. All those are carrying many kinds of stories and some are humorous, some are full with anxiety and fear. It is very difficult to tell which news is genuine.”

Insha’allah, I hope that all Muslim bloggers while in “the Court of Public Opinion” adhere to the advice of the said Mufti so as not to disturb the Muslim’s faith and life’s serenity.</description>

		<description>Curious isn't it? It seems that Mahathir's terminal case of double-standards has also unfortunately infected his followers.

Tell me BigDog, is sauce for the goose not also good for the gander?</description>

		<description>If RPK is wrong, then arrest him and get him in court. Expose his fallacies. Why is Rosmah wayang kulit? "everything they say is salah, only I know the truth". Typical UMNO, only UMNO knows the truth but they are not going to share it. So trust them...
We've seen the impact of trust given to UMNO and BN (PKFZ, Balkis, ladang babi Selangor, shredded files upon changing state governments, etc.).
Guys grow up! Otherwise there will be no BN to talk about by 2013.</description>
