MAHATHIR…STOP YOUR NONSENSE The pisang goreng man trying to goreng the people again...  Mahathir Mohamad has promised to name Umno members implicated in money politics on his blog che det.comHe said he was willing to be sued for defamation and even risk arrest by the authorities because he was not afraid to expose the truth and the identities of such errant members.“I can’t do anything about the complaints except to hand these over to the Umno disciplinary committee. I will put these names up in my blog.We are not fools as you think. We are more learned than you. We know your purpose and intent. There is no need to arrest a dying man. No defamation suit against you will stand. Likewise, please sue all of us Mahathir, we shall see whether your cases come before the court , or your time to meet God comes earlier.We also know the list of names you will come up with. Those who are against your son in the run-up to the Umno Youth election. Those whom you despise. Those who stand in your way. Those who stand in your family way. Those, you want them to tow your line. Those, who will fear your words and listen to you.Mahathir…who will display your name in that list. A crook is trying to expose other crooks. Scram off Mahathir.Your days are over. Your words are no longer gospels of truth.If your website is dying slowly, do not resort to cheapskate method to prop up your audience.Goodbye Mahathir. Rest in Peace! Not meant for people like you. Suffer in Agony!

MALAYSIA'S AUTHORITARIAN RESURGENCE 
POSTED TAXIDRIVER 

Richard Krainze, Far Eastern Economic Review

The Malaysian government has applied its Internal Security Act (ISA) several times in recent weeks in order to protect citizens from the imminent threat of . . . bloggers. That’s right. The sixty-some jihadi militants, foreign agents and ethnic “rabble-rousers” locked away without prospect of trial in the country’s infamous Kamunting Detention Center were joined recently by a handful of minor opposition figures working the Internet fringe of Malaysian politics.

By definition, arbitrary arrest precludes any clear articulation of what legal offenses detainees may have committed. We are thus left to construe allegations of criminal activity based upon accusations made by various government spokespersons or politically affiliated groups.

Political blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin, already facing formal defamation charges for vilifying senior politicians, was detained under the ISA in September. Government leaders apparently judged Kamarudin a danger to society as a result of a blog post in which he rather indelicately argued that hypocrisy among Malaysia’s Muslim leadership is the root cause of moral decrepitude in the country. Although Islamist opposition figures have made such claims for years, Raja Petra’s statements, taken out of context, can easily be interpreted as criticism of Muslims in general rather than simply a rant against Malaysia’s current Muslim leaders. Government functionaries in charge of Islamic affairs took exception to a number of Raja Petra’s views including his assertion that “only Muslims talk about their religion non-stop while going against everything their religion stands for.” In the days preceding his arrest four government religious bodies filed complaints with the police alleging that the writer “insulted Malays, Muslims and Islam.”
