Sedition

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh,

As many have known that the Blogger King - King Petra or Raja Petra Kamarudin who is now under the risk of being charged under the Sedition Act for his honest and personal posting of an on-going murder court trial, it is seen yet again another political game to weaken the opposition though RPK said he is not supporting the opposition. Let's have a look at the meaning of sedition according to a dictionary website. It means:

1.	incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.

2.	any action, esp. in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.

Anything that promotes rebellion or goes against the government is sedition. The famous wikipedia can only list 3 countries that practice sedition act namely US, Singapore and Malaysia! According to the act under section 3(1) (a), any act defined as having a seditious tendency to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against any Ruler or against any Government. It literally means that no one can go AGAINST the Ruler and Government, even showing tendency and intention. In this case, I think many Malaysians can be easily charged under this act, not just bloggers and opposition newspaper reporters, not just RPK and not just this one article on the murder trial. What about the 'Pak Lah sleeping beauty' photos on websites and even on banners during the election? What about Imam Hadhari - ada had ada hari campaign on blogs? What about the Terengganu state assemblymen who went against the Ruler? What about going against Selangor Ruler's will to marry his princess secretly abroad?

Probably it's this act that Samy Velu failed to protect the Hindu temple from the demolition by the Selangor GOVERNMENT cos stopping it is against the Selangor Government. Probably it's this act that MCA & MIC are so tame under UMNO cos it's against the the Government if they go against UMNO's president who happens to be a bumiputra, a muslim, the BN Chair and the PM, the Head of the Government, most importantly. Probably it's this act that Lina Joy will never win her case cos it's seditious to go against the Rulers who protect the religious affair. Probably it's this act that Perak MB has to apologise to the Ruler for 'firing' Jamry cos it's against the Ruler and the Federal Government.

So, if Khir Toyo on his blog has any tendency to go against and to spread hatred toward the Selangor GOVERNMENT, can we charge him with this act too? What about other UMNO's new bloggers who speak against the opposition GOVERNEMTs? Ops, sorry, these are not GOVERNMENT, right, in the eyes of the Federal Government?

Ok, what about Chedet who is bringing hatred toward Pak Lah, the PM and the Head of the GOVERNMENT through his campaign on bringing down and go against the PM? Can we bring Chedet down with this act too? If so, come on Karpal, let's open a file and charge him so that the GOVERNMENT will learn a lesson and do not abuse this act.

Oh no, we can't do that, they are the INFALLIBLE and PROTECTED ones, even under the Australian law!

ALLAHU'alam.

Wassalam.

p/s: will I be charged too? :S
