Raja Blog

Regardless of who started blogging first in Malaysia, Raja Petra is widely acknowledged as the king of all bloggers here. He treaded where no one dared by touching on sensitive subjects like race, religion, rulers and so on, using clear and concise descriptions and interesting examples, much to our reading pleasure while enlightening us on certain myths perpetuated by BN for their continuing control.

In fact, to be fair to him, he did not take sides and opposition parties are just as vulnerable to his unrelenting criticisms whenever necessary. It so happened that BN must have been grossly unfair for him to support the opposition to prevent a government that can change laws at their whims and fancy. He is one of the greatest influences in our political landscape, yet he is not a member of any political party which in a way, made him more credible in his opinions.

The internet is still free from controls, with the exceptions of being subject to Sedition Act and civil suits for slander, and being hacked and having system and files destroyed.

To us, or at least for me, he is our hero with the following image:

To those members of the public who do not know him, he may look like a criminal being taken away by our PRDM:
