YES, I surfed the Internet late into the still of the Seremban night; I visited harisibrahim.wordpress.com's too -- just to listen from the horse's mouth how he put up his defence of his idol, RPK, also often a partner-in-shenanigans blatantly demonstrated during Zaid Ibrahim's campaign to become Deputy President of Parti Keadilan Rakyat late last year.
I hope the Commenter named Don Ricardo won't mind my copying his well-articulated views in rebutting the People's Parliament and MCLM mover's stance in defending his idol RPK. Yes, de Prez is subservient to de Chairman in MCLM -- furthermore, RPK is from Royalty what!

MCLM made a “press conference” to defend RPK today.
I wish to refute the things that Haris said in the “press conference”:
1. Haris said: “the mainstream media… presented Raja Petra’s interview completely out of context”, “This interview was done in February. RPK just told me that this morning”.
My response — The few long sentences that RPK spoke, even if shown separately, has enough context for us to understand what he meant. We can read. We are not that stupid such that we always won’t “get the context”. What RPK said is out there in black and white, even if it’s the full thing. So who are you trying to fool?
Also, RPK rarely gets interviewed by any major news media. So if he got interviewed by something as big as TV3, why he only told you this morning only?
2. Haris said: “I challenge TV3 to put up the full, unedited video of the interview on YouTube or whatever medium (on the Internet)”.
My response — Knock, knock! Hello Haris! You of all people should know that this is TV3, one of UMNO’s mouthpieces! Challenge to put up full video? Forget it! As if they’re gonna listen to you. It’s too late. It’s also besides the point. The damage is done. The objective has been accomplished.
3. Haris said: “that no one in MCLM was aware that RPK had done the interview, nor could he give a definite answer on the latter’s motives for agreeing to speak with TV3. Haris, however, rubbished talk that Raja Petra, who is also MCLM chairperson, had been “coerced””.
My response — Wow, your best friend left you in the dark about such a big interview with such a big media outlet! Some best friend! You said here that you don’t know what RPK’s motive was. It could be a “mistake” just as it could be RPK doing “BN a favour so BN will do him a favour”. How can you say so confidently say RPK was not “coerced” when you just admitted that you are uncertain about RPK’s motive? Are you taking us for a ride, Haris? We request that you please be honest with us.
4. Haris said: “Haris also brushed aside claims that Raja Petra was paid to do the TV3 interview”.
My response — Haris, how do you know? You just said you don’t know the reason why RPK did the interview. How come you can confidently say RPK was not paid in any way? How would you ever know? I know RPK is your “best friend”, but even best friends can hide things from each other. There is just no way you can confirm that RPK didn’t take a single sen. So can you please stop clutching straws to defend RPK and be more less biased please?
5. Haris said: ““If you listen carefully, Raja Petra said, ‘Saya tidak lagi terima cerita itu, sebab saya rasa mungkin mustahil kut’. He is saying that ‘I do not yet believe this story, because it’s quite incredible’.When you read the Star, they quoted him as saying, ‘I no longer accept the story. I think it’s quite impossible’. The mainstream media has distorted (his statement).”
My response — Hello Haris! There is no distortion there also! That is an exact and accurate translation from BM to BI! What “distortion” are you talking about, Haris? Why does it appear you are so desperate to defend RPK on his behalf?
6. Haris said: “Haris added that the mainstream media had insinuated that Raja Petra drew the information that he put down on his statutory declaration in 2008 from several sources, when in fact it only came from one source – Nik Azmi Nik Daud, a former aide to Gua Musang MP Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah. Haris said Raja Petra had then contacted blogger Din Merican…”
My response — Haris, why name names in an interview with such a dirty mainstream media? Is RPK trying to detonate Pakatan Rakyat and PKR by doing this? It’s just a TV interview, not a confidential police statement. So why whistleblow your own informer? All this makes us think that RPK is trying to “pretend” that this is all mainstream media “spin” but in reality, RPK very cleverly has achieved his purpose in terms of altering “perception”. He has succeeded in tarnishing Pakatan. He has also forever tarnished his reputation as a “defender of the rakyat”.
7. Haris said: “while there is no denying Raja Petra had been critical of Anwar and the opposition in the TV3 interview, he stressed that it is nothing that the outspoken blogger hasn’t said before.”
My response — Hello, it’s the perception strategy again. Even if he has attacked Anwar Ibrahim so many times before, why must RPK give Barisan Nasional so much ammunition on a gold platter like this to use on such a wonderful television media to be aired left and right, night and day on TV? Something cannot be right.
Also, in my view:
*RPK is like a bull in a china shop, he just goes ramming everywhere, and he uses this tactic to taint Pakatan Rakyat and pretends “that’s just his style”. We don’t by it.
*RPK is a big talker, more of a big talker than a doer for most of the while, and people who talk like a hero are usually suspicious characters who screw us up in the end.
*RPK is no god. He relies on the rakyat’s power so tell him not to fool us around. Who asked him to given an interview to TV3? If he is such a big talker and so damn smart, who asked him to talk to TV3? This is the major mystery and the key to RPK joining the devil’s side.
*We should also listen other people’s views to understand RPK, not just Haris’s views alone. There is a damning Letter To The Editor in Malaysiakini that was just published, which will tell you who RPK really is. Check this out: http://malaysiakini.com/letters/161443.
After reading this Malaysiakini bombshell letter and Haris’s statement about RPK, make up your minds about RPK.
Let us decide for ourselves whether to trust RPK or not.
Also, RPK is no god. I don’t want to have faith in him.
I also don’t want to give my full faith to MCLM.
I will only give my faith to the truth, to justice, to real reform, to real friendship with the rakyat.
If MCLM achieves this, then good. If Pakatan achieves this, then good.
But no one should ask us, the rakyat, to give blind faith to any one.
Haris, you should have just told us “think and use your hearts to decide” rather than ask us to blindly “keep the faith”.
I wish you were more objective and impartial, Haris.
