RPK's Trial At PJ Sessions Court


I just got back from there. When I left, his trial for sedition was in full swing.

RPK was brought down from Kamunting this morning at about 8.30am. He looked down in spirits. Looks like the psy-ops might be working. :(

There were only two witnesses brought in today. The judge appeared indignant. "The court has been booked for the entire day, and all you have is two witnesses??" she demanded from prosecution.

Of course, it was all the more amusing that our "expert" witness from SKMM had some trouble defining what a website was. Some sources claim that he couldn't quite remember the Malaysia Today website address!

Guess he's not an avid reader. :) Obviously not big on homework, either!

The turn-out was a little bigger than I'd personally expected. The usual suspects were there - Haris Ibrahim, Zorro, Shanghai Fish and Lulu. I also met The Whisperer who introduced himself upon hearing I was the bad-ass C!

Lulu was such an angel. She'd baked toblerone cupcakes which tasted just heavenly. I hadn't had my breakfast yet, so it was a much appreciated gesture. Love ya, girl!

A bunch of Australians were covering the trial, if I'm not mistaken, it was ABC - Australian Broadcasting Corp.

I heard from the grapevine that this trial is going to last for the next 3 days, so people, please show up and lend your support. Seriously, I can't make it everyday. I work in Cyberjaya.

It cost me RM9.50 using the ERL and then RM1.60 connecting from KL Sentral to Taman Jaya station, so both ways had me poorer by almost RM25.

But if YOU live thereabouts of PJ, please try and make time to make your presence felt. We need to make a statement, and no time like the present.

UPDATE: Haris has a whole bunch of photos.

Access Malaysia Today!

The nerve of the blithering idiots.

MCMC has instructed all our internet service providers to block the Malaysia Today site.

Apart from Dear Pete, I haven't been reading it. Firstly, I am busy with a critical deadline. Secondly, most of the stuff there is very populist and somewhat biased.

But when someone violates my right to read any material on the internet, I turn irate.

There are 2 ways to overcome the blocks:

a. TM uses a simple IP block. To access http://www.malaysia-today.net change the DNS lookup to OpenDNS.

Those using XP :

* click Start -> Connect To
* Right Click network connection you are using.
* Select Properties
* Click on Network Tab
* Highlight “Internet Protocol”
* Click on Properties at bottom right
* Click “Use the Following DNS server addresses

Preferred DNS Server : 208.67.222.222
Alternate DNS server : 208.67.220.220

Click OK all the way. close connection and start again. If you type http://www.malaysia-today.net you will arrive at the site.

b. change URL to

http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com/2008

It's going to take a lot more than blocking internet sites for people to abandon this quest for change.
