Support of malaysia-today.net website, defend bloggers' right
[via The Star]
The wife of Malaysia Today website owner Raja Petra Kamarudin refused to answer questions posed to her by the police, citing the Syariah law as her reason. Marina Lee Abdullah said: “I refused to answer any question as the Syariah law states I must first have permission from my husband to do so.
“I don't have to answer them. There is no need to,” she told reporters as she was leaving the Dang Wangi district police headquarters at about 12.30pm yesterday. Accompanied by her husband, she met two senior police officers at 11am.
The police had questioned Marina, 50, pertaining to investigations against her husband, who had allegedly insulted the country and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the website. Among those present to show their support were fellow blogger Ahirudin Attan, also known as Rocky, and The Star columnist and social activist Datuk Marina Mahathir.
On July 27, police questioned Raja Petra following a report lodged by Umno information chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib. Muhammad Taib alleged that comments and remarks published on Raja Petra's website on July 11 had insulted the King, degraded Islam and could incite hatred and violence in Malaysia’s multi-racial society.
