2 prominent bloggers held by the Malaysian Police this month. First, it was Nathaniel Tan , now it’s Raja Petra Kamaruddin’s (RPK) turn. I’ve always been a big fan of Raja Petra’s Malaysia Today. He clearly reveals what really goes on (or beneath) Malaysian politics with a writing style that is both witty and humourous. In his recent article, he details his most recent interogation ordeal with the Malaysia police :
The police informed me that my interrogation was not about my article of 11 July 2007. In fact, on 11 July 2007, I never wrote any article. I did on 8 July though and again on 13 July, but never on 11 July. According to what the newspapers reported, I was alleged to have insulted the Agong and Islam, so the purpose of the two shopping bags of books was to debate Islam and the Agong with those who were about to interrogate me. But they did not want to talk about any of my articles. They only wanted to talk about some of the comments in the blogs posted by Malaysia Today’s readers.
