more update on Malaysia Today.

Update: Campaign is now off with over RM36000 of donations received in just one day.


In case you haven't heard, Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) has been ordered to surrender himself at Jalan Duta magistrate court at 9:30AM today for allegedly making seditious remarks on his Malaysia Today website. Sedition my foot. The only 'crime' RPK is guilty of is having the balls to stand up for justice and the truth and for having the ball to speak out against the powers that be.
For those whose life had been touched by his work on Malaysia Today, now is the time for us to lend a helping hand to this remarkable man. People from his website has set up a "One Ringgit Per Person RPK court bail donation" campaign. You can channel all your proceeds to this CIMB account:

CIMB Bank account no: 14030214334050
Account holder's name: Visvalingam A/L Dorairaju

Now I've checked out this account and already made a donation myself and it appears to be valid.
You can check out the original page for this campaign here:

It is not to far-fetched to say that BN would have not lost it's 2/3 majority in Parliament and Pakatan Rakyat would not be ruling those 5 states if not for the works and contributions from brave men and women such as RPK and their blogs. I call on everyone who associate themselves with Pakatan Rakyat to support this donation drive.
