To back his claim, he issued an open offer to Najib to “guarantee me that I will not be placed under ISA and forget another six charges I know they were preparing, and I will come back and fight the sedition and criminal defamation cases.”
By Shannon Teoh, The Malaysian Insider
LONDON, July 10 — Going to musicals, enjoying dinner with a group of Malaysian friends until 11pm, and speaking at public events.
Raja Petra Kamarudin, the controversial blogger that the Malaysian police claims it is actively hunting, hardly seems like a man in hiding.
Or, as many reports have put it, a fugitive.
It is a term he bristles at. He said detention without trial is the only thing stopping him from returning home to Malaysia.
“Why am I being called a fugitive, or runaway, or worse, that I absconded? Like I embezzled money and fled the country,” he told The Malaysian Insider in an exclusive interview here.
The writer of the No Holds Barred column in web portal, Malaysia Today, insisted that since he is not convicted of any crime and nor were there any standing charges or arrest warrants, he cannot possibly be classified as a fugitive.
He also does not have to appear for the appeal against his release from the Internal Security Act (ISA), a law that allows for detention without trial at the prerogative of the home minister, a case which has seen no progress since Raja Petra left Malaysia in May 2009 .
However, critics point out that he was not in the country when an arrest warrant was issued after he failed to show up for the hearing on a criminal defamation charge last year, resulting in a discharge not amounting to an acquittal in November as the police failed to execute the warrant.
But the man known by his initials, RPK, claimed he left the country not because he wanted to flee charges of sedition and criminal defamation, but that his sources had informed him that a new ISA detention order was being prepared at the time.
“We were winning all the court cases. We were making the government look stupid. My lawyers to this day regret that we had to leave,” he said of the charges levelled at him due to his accusation that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, were involved in the death of Mongolian translator Altantuya Shariibuu, and a related submarine deal that French authorities are now investigating for an alleged irregularity in commission payment, said to amount to a whopping RM500 million.
To back his claim, he issued an open offer to Najib to “guarantee me that I will not be placed under ISA and forget another six charges I know they were preparing, and I will come back and fight the sedition and criminal defamation cases.”

Wondering what you were trying to catch and what you have caught.
I guess you enjoyed your gourmet bakar-ed tartared fish meal with a hint of assam.
Singa reads it well - pulling Najib legs.
Ok, maestro, we didn't it see coming the very first hour of title posting.
You had your on the spur funny moments and sumptious fish meal, lets continue with business.
And My Dear Motherchell (I am getting too civilised MT poltical correct now),
the inhabitants of UMNO Putrajay say it all.
You can add one super nasty mongrel - the Predators, joining the likes of the Alien long metal head, in your pic. A grisly mask hiding a revolting face interior. Predator would best describe these mob in the context of the predatory BN led loggers raping the defenceless Penan natives young girls in their habitats. And BN is not lifting a finger to prevent it, as they mostly give up on law and order enforcement throughout the nation.
Blood splash at the Umno entrance.
Blood is all onUMNO hands. Thrash ISA - 50 years of hurt to the Malay and others..
Make all grown Malay and other men into stale tofu to appease the fascist UMNO leaders
Ron K/Sabah PKR, Speak up more. LKS, Go onto the East Highway. Who needs Jeff K?

and these are the civil servants , judges, police officers, janitors, advisers, MPs, Ministers etc who call it home. They are always richer in the evenings as they return after a not a hard days work!!The Country is fired by black gold!! Sorry Pete, there is no law here!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino,_Jr.
Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.[2][3][4][5](November 27, 1932 – August 21, 1983) was a Philippine Senator, Governor of Tarlac, and an opposition leader against President Ferdinand Marcos. He was assassinated at the Manila International Airport (later renamed in his honor) upon returning home from exile in the United States. His death catapulted his widow, Corazon Aquino, to the limelight and subsequently to the presidency, replacing the 20-year Marcos regime. In 2004, the anniversary of his death was proclaimed as a national holiday now known as Ninoy Aquino Day.

Beware, I fear of drastic actions by the government to force their way through... And I fear the need to go through what the Philippines went through.
Dear YM. RPK, Do consider well and take all necessary precautions against the untrustworthy government.

Trusting the BN and their treatment of you even without ISA overhanging, is like trusting Count Dracula with a blood bank.
Surely you are pulling our legs.

You will keep your word but can you trust a snake to keep his side of the bargain?
Anyway you look real happy, healthy & enjoying your FREEDOM in London .... judging from recent photos. May we suggest you stay put cos we truly fear for your life if you return. Remember Aquino? He barely stepped down on Filipino soil & got shot...... Wow, yes, Hidup RPK!

You return with ISA threats. You may win your personal battle, but we would lose the war
You stay where you are, we have the greatest chance to win the war. Then you return triumphant to 20 person deep suppprters lining the route to win your personal battle under restored institutions conditions.
And Aduh, what make you think skeletons will be exposed in the garbage trials. Have you not learnt?
You are ahead of your gullible self, Malay Man, Malaysian Heart. Your judgement is a suspect on this, so close afer the hypnotic influence by the two "raincoat" ladies re old man's note

Do get your facts right before opening your mouth. It makes you look dumber than you already are.
Unless you are in the power loop, there is no way for you to know there is a warrant of arrest against you under ISA. You think HISAP gonna give RPK a phone call to inform him of that? The time you know is when you are already behind bars. Bodoh punya orang. takda otak!
