the king and i

Raja means "king" in the Malaysian and Indonesian language. 

However, unlike others from the Malaysian Royal family, Raja Petra (also fondly known as 'Pete') has out-rightly fought for the political and social justice of the people in Malaysia. Claiming 'controversial' to be his middle named, Raja Petra Kamarudin is a political activist as well as founder and chief-editor of the famous political blog 'Malaysia Today'. 

His work exposes the various scandals and corruption practised within the Malaysian government, eventually leading to his detainment by the Malaysian ISA (Internal Security Act) twice, as well as risk being disowned by members of the Royal family. It is all very complicated when it comes to Malaysian politics...

Don't worry, this won't be a political blog just yet. I am just glad to have met Raja Petra in person because he stands up for what I too, believe in -- change :)

And because you've been kind enough to put up with my rant on politics, you are now rewarded with a papercraft rabbit courtesy of Canon!

(Don't be discouraged by how complicated it looks -- I have one sitting right on my computer tower at work! I guarantee you, its absolutely do-able!)
