Man with Balls of Steel?

As most who read the papers would know by now, today Raja Petra Kamarudin was called to court and put in detention for his blogging. Now for those of you who don't read his blog, well, let's put it this way, this guy writes with such honesty that most are surprised that he hasn't been taken in by ISA before this. Anyway, the powers that be is once again trying to put this guy in jail for sharing his thoughts on his blog. He has refused to pay the bail and has been put in detention. Some would say that it was a stupid move... but i think it's a brilliant move. The powers that be have literally shot themselves in their feet. How much outrage and publicity would this create? Not just locally, but internationally as well... how many people would surge to now go and read his blog? I certainly went and read it. And now I'm writing about it too. Multiply that exponentially with the 6 degrees of separation, heck millions would be reading his blog by today. I'm not as eloquent in my writing as RPK, neither do I have such balls of steel as he does, so do visit his site at http://www.malaysia-today.net/2008/ This is a man that isn't afraid to just say it and put it out there for everyone to read. Got to give it to him, he really is a man with balls of steel ;)
