Raja Petra Kamarudin

No way I would go as far as claiming to be politically aware but I do try my best to keep abreast with the current events particularly the imminent overhaul of the government and the shifting political landscape. Well, we could partly attribute it to the emergence of dissident bloggers who are becoming increasingly vocal about how the government is run but the main reason such an uprise has occured is due to our fumbling and often sleeping PM's methods of dealing with misdeeds and injustices. But that of course, is a story for another day.

Raja Petra Kamarudin(RPK), hero to some, has been unjustly charged under the Sedition Act for alleging Najis' involvement was crucial in the murdering of Atlantuya Sharibuu. The contents of his posts 'Let’s send the Altantuya murderers to hell' was used as grounds to charge him claiming that what he is implying was utterly contemptuous and untrue. And according to RPK, there is evidence of Najis' implication in the still yet unsolved murder case.

Despite the fact that RPK's prosecution is for the crime of sedition, it doesn't take someone extraordinarily intelligent to read between the lines in order to figure out who is the culprit behind RPK's incarceration. It's clear Najis is starting to feel the heat as he is slowly but inevitably being pushed to the brink of being exposed by the somewhat expected yet unaverted circumstances. However, in this game of chess, he has erronously moved the wrong pieces into the wrong spots at the wrong time. Litigating RPK at civil court for slander was clearly off the table because he would definitely have a hard time arguing his case against RPK and he probably couldn't take such 'seditious' accusations sitting down. So he had to apprehend RPK under the Seditious Act. But his attempt to quell all suspicion of his involvement fell flat. Now, more and more people have seen through his facade and at the same time bred more insecurities and uncertainties amongst the UMNO MPs. This in turn would probably lead to more MPs jumping ship and onto the increasingly crowded Pakatan Rakyat boat, which is exactly what Anwar wants.

By the way, I am just talking outta my ass. Don't take it word for word.
