Raja Petra's Blow-Back on UMNO's Lodging of Police Report Against Him and Malaysia-Today

Read Here on Malaysiakini: UMNO Lodges Report Against Malaysia-Today

Read here Bahasa translation of Raja Petra's article, "See You in Hell, Muhamad son of Muhamad"

Quote:

".. Muhamad the son of Muhamad, see you in hell.

You eloped with the late Agong’s and Sultan of Selangor’s daughter and secretly married her in Thailand. Then you denied it when the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor asked you about it.

I know that when the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor, my uncle, found out that you had in fact married his daughter, my cousin, and that you had lied about it, you arranged for UMNO YOUTH to organise an anti-Sultan demonstration. You committed treason.

This ex-Menteri Besar is corrupt, a liar who married the late Agong’s and Sultan of Selangor’s daughter and denied it, and who insulted the Malays and Islam by secretly marrying someone’s daughter in another country without the permission of her father.

And YOU accuse ME of insulting the Agong ?

Ini Anak Raja Bugis bercakap yang mati dengan keris di dalam tangan...."
-Raja Petra Kamarudin

MUHAMMAD MUHAMMAD TAIB
UMNO Information Chief

On 23rd July, 2007, Umno filed a police report at the Dan Wangi Police Station against political website Malaysia Today for allegedly publishing disparaging remarks against the King and Islam.

The report was filed by Umno information chief Muhammad Muhammad Taib, (ex-Menteri Besar of Selangor) accompanied by some 30 people. Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Mohamad Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman confirmed that a report was lodged.

"The Ex-Menteri Besar With Two Muhamads In His Name"
It seems there is a certain ex-Menteri Besar who made a police report against Malaysia Today and me. This ex-Menteri Besar has two Muhamads is his name.

He was of course acting on behalf of Umno and represented Umno as its Information Chief.

This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name has made a police report against Malaysia Today and me saying that:

I insulted the Agong and Islam and

I raised racial sentiments which could probably result in racial conflicts in Malaysia.

The Agong is My Buddy
It is mind-boggling that this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name would accuse me of insulting the Agong who is also the Sultan of Terengganu when the Agong is my buddy.

When the Agong, who is also the Sultan of Terengganu, was merely the Raja Muda of Terengganu, I used to ride horses with him along the beach in Kuala Terengganu. I also made trips to London to meet the Agong who is also the Sultan of Terengganu when he was still just the Raja Muda of Terengganu and a student in London.

The then Raja Muda of Terengganu who is now the Agong and I would drive around London in his Ferrari and together with my sisters and wife would visit the famous London night-spots such as Longfellows where all the action is. When he was back in Kuala Lumpur I would take him to the then famous Tin Mine where we would just sit and talk as he was not a disco-dancer but preferred to just enjoy the music and talk.

Would I insult my long-time friend who is now the Agong when I sembah and kiss his hand and he would withdraw it and refuse to allow me to kiss his hand as he considered me a buddy rather than a subject?

This, the ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name did NOT realise when he made that police report against Malaysia Today and me.

I will offer to make an audience (mengadap) with the Agong who was my buddy since the days he was merely the Raja Muda of Terengganu.

Anak Raja Bugis' Loyalty to Agong
If His Royal Highness is of the opinion that I have insulted him then I will subject myself to any form of punishment befitting a subject who has insulted his Agong.

Such a punishment befitting the crime of insulting the Agong can include the death sentence.

I will walk to the gallows to have my head separated from my body with the dignity of a true subject of the Agong.

An Anak Raja Bugis is loyal to his Agong and a true Anak Raja Bugis looks death in the face with the dignity expected of an Anak Raja Bugis.

I am not a descendant of Upu Tenribong Daeng Rilaka in vain. I shall not smear the name of my ancestors by avoiding the punishment of insulting his Agong.

The Agong is one of the Raja-Raja Melayu and I am MORE than just an Anak Raja Melayu; I am an Anak Raja Bugis.

You Were Caught in Brisbane Airport, Australia
This is the Muhamad who started life as a schoolteacher but does not speak a word of English. When caught carrying millions of dirty money into Australia, he pleaded ignorance of the English language and was acquitted by the Australian court the crime of smuggling money. [Read here for more on Asiaweek (10th January 1997) "Muhammad is caught with a suitcase of cash"]

What boggles the mind is how this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name could suddenly have millions in his pocket and which he was arrested for as he entered Australia.

You Failed to Pay Back Govt, RM 80,000 Scholarship Bond
Just barely a few years before that, he could NOT even pay back the government the RM80,000 that he owed and needed Anwar Ibrahim to exempt him from the rule of paying back the money.

When he resigned as a schoolteacher to contest the general election, the government made a claim of RM80,000 against him because he was on contract and was bound by this contract to serve the government to pay off what he owed.

Malaysia (gives) underprivileged Malays, government loans to further their studies. They must, however, serve the government for a certain period of time once they graduate and if they refuse to do so or resign before the expiry of their contract then they have to pay back the government the amount of their loan.

This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name therefore owed the government RM80,000, If he did not pay back the amount then he would be denying other Malays the benefit of this money and therefore would in that same process be denying other Malays the benefit of a tertiary education.

This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name then appealed to the then Minister of Education, Anwar Ibrahim, for exemption from paying back the government the RM80,000 that he owed.

Anwar waived the rule so that this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name need not pay back the nation the RM80,000 that he owed which could have gone to other less-fortunate Malays who needed government assistance to further their studies.

You Insulted the Late Agong, My Uncle
This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads insulted the late Agong who was the Sultan of Selangor and my uncle. This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name eloped with the Sultan’s daughter,who is my cousin, and secretly married her in Thailand.

When the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor, my uncle, asked this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name whether he (the ex-Menteri Besar with the two Muhamads in his name) had married his (the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor) daughter, this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name denied it.

Marrying secretly in Thailand is a crime and one can be punished for it. Marrying a woman without the consent of her father goes against Islam and Malay culture and, being a Menteri Besar, this is even more of a no-no.

But this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name denied he had married the Sultan’s daughter secretly in Thailand and swore in the name of Allah that the allegation is a lie.

Eventually, this ex-Menteri Besar with the two Muhamads in his name divorced the Sultan of Selangor’s daughter, my cousin, and paid her RM12 million as a divorce settlement.

This upset the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor, my uncle, who made a photocopy of the RM12 million cheque.

The late Agong and Sultan of Selangor was upset that his Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name had paid his daughter RM12 million as a divorce settlement.

The late Agong and Sultan of Selangor then made a photocopy of the cheque and showed it to the Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. (The late Agong) demanded to know how a mere Menteri Besar could afford to pay RM12 million as a divorce settlement to his daughter. This proves that Selangor has a corrupt Menteri Besar, said the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor, my uncle.

You Are Corrupt And A Liar
This ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name is corrupt, a liar who married the late Agong’s and Sultan of Selangor’s daughter and denied it, and who insulted the Malays and Islam by secretly marrying someone’s daughter in another country without the permission of her father.

This man was then a Menteri Besar (and) had two Muhamads in his name. And the woman is the daughter of the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor.

So this crime of the ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name is ten times worse. And any other man would have been arrested and convicted of the crime of marrying a woman secretly in Thailand.

But this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name was NOT arrested and put on trial. He was also NOT arrested and put on trial when he paid RM12 million as a divorce settlement.

(He) could NOT explain where he got the money from and how he could afford to pay such an amount on his meagre Menteri Besar’s salary.

Can You Read In English?
I understand that this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name can’t speak English. This means he also can’t read English.

How this ex-Menteri Besar with two Muhamads in his name managed to figure out that I insulted the Agong in my article is beyond me when I write in English and not in Malay.

Umno should have chosen another man who can speak English to make that police report against Malaysia Today and me.

You Go To Hell
This is my response to that police report against Malaysia Today and me.

I would just like to say:

Go to hell Muhamad the son of Muhamad. You are a disgrace to the Muhamad name.

And let me tell you Muhamad the son of Muhamad:

You should thank your lucky stars that this is 2007 and not 1907. If this was 1907 instead of 2007 I would challenge you to a duel.

It would be a man-to-man, one-to-one duel. It would be a duel to the death with kerises.

You eloped with the late Agong’s and Sultan of Selangor’s daughter and secretly married her in Thailand. Then you denied it when the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor asked you about it.

Only someone with NO balls would do this. A man WITH BALLS would NOT deny it.

Your Treasonous Act
I know that when the late Agong and Sultan of Selangor, my uncle, found out that you had in fact married his daughter, my cousin, and that you had lied about it, you arranged for UMNO YOUTH to organise an anti-Sultan demonstration.

The late Agong and Sultan of Selangor was very hurt and he cancelled his birthday celebration that year.

So that year no datukships were awarded and you had to return the money to all those who had paid you for their datukships.

This act of yours, Muhamad the son of Muhamad, is treasonous.

If this was 1907 instead of 2007 you would have been put to death. You committed treason. You would have been put to death if this was 1907 instead of 2007.

You Want A Political Comeback After the Fall of Najib Razak
But I know why you made that police report against Malaysia Today and me, Muhamad the son of Muhamad. You want to make a political comeback. You want to contest a parliament seat in the next general election.

And you want to be made a federal minister when you win that parliament seat. You hope that the present Deputy Prime Minister, Najib Tun Razak, will fall and that you can take his job. That is why you made that police report against Malaysia Today and me, Muhamad the son of Muhamad.

Muhamad the son of Muhamad, see you in hell.

And if I go there first I will wait at the gates of hell to greet you on your arrival, Muhamad the son of Muhamad.
