Why retell something that has already been so eloquently written? (Thanks, Mr. Air Kosong blogger)

But, if you stubbornly refuse to click, here's the gist of it:

• Raja Petra initially detained under Section 73 - detention pending judicial review.
• He has now (Sept 23) been sent to Kamunting for 2 years under Section 8 - 2 years detention with NO chance of judicial review.
• Home Minister i-had-nothing-to-do-with-it Syed Hamid Albar signed the papers last night.

My question being, if you were so sure he was inciting racial tension, why not prove it to the world at large in court? Flexing muscle without reason always makes you look the bully.

I think we've checked erm... all of them? Really scary thought. Picture taken from I Am Malaysian.

So let's try this again. RandomThots fully endorses the signing of yet another petition saying NO to the ISA.

There is an online list of detainees under the ISA here.
And also, some interesting facts:

10,662 people have been arrested under the ISA in the past 44 years, 4,139 were issued with formal detention orders and 2,066 were served with restriction orders governing their activities and where they live. In addition, 12 people were executed for offences under the ISA between 1984 and 1993.

p.s: i'm sorry and thank you to all the blogs that i took material off. It was fun finding new blogs that dissed our silly leadership. For my own reference and i think Dan, you'll enjoy these:

• The Flaccid Mind
• Stupid Malaysia
• I Am Malaysian
• Crankshaft

p.p.s: I couldn't help noting that on one of the comments in reply to a blog kutuking Saiful, there was this: 'u r the most bustard' (heehee... i thought it snigger-worthy)

p.p.p.s: I think this is a good post that EVERY Malaysian boy and girl should read.
