RPK in Hotel Kamunting.

RPK has been sent over to the dreaded Hotel Kamnunting under the draconian ISA - he is in solitary confinement. When the guilty are running free with just a slap on the hands, it is those who strive to expose the wrong doing and the truth that are punished. What kind of a society is the government trying to potray us Malaysian as? It's a disgrace we call ourselves a developing country - the only thing we're developing into is a chaotic mess run by a bunch of corrupt and moral-less jokers.

Pls click on the link to read. I will not post it here as the article is pretty long but it'll pick the part that struck me the most:

According to Marina, there is a very thick wall inside the camp. On one side of the wall is the block holding the isolated detainees; on the other side, another block holds detainees who are allowed to mingle and watch TV.

The only glimmer of sunshine for the renowned writer before his family visit was hearing shouts from beyond the wall. Apparently, the voices belonged to some members of the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) who were also arrested under the ISA last year when they held a protest march in downtown Kuala Lumpur demanding the long-forgotten rights of ethnic Indian citizens.

"He told me he heard them screaming 'Raja, we know you're here. We just saw you on TV with your wife.' That was his only way of keeping updated on what's going on in the world outside," related Marina.

Her husband's greatest worry, she said, was that three months down the road, the public would have forgotten his existence.

"He told me, 'Please tell them not to forget me'," Marina said, before excusing herself to attend a meeting with the lawyers on filing a new application against her husband's detention."

Well, rest be assured RPK, those who oppose the opression against fighters like you who seek for a better and just Malaysia will never be forgotten. Your incarceration will not be in vain. Freedom beckons for you, the Hindraf 5 and the rest unjustly detained in Hotel Kamunting once PR forms the government.
