KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin was served with an order last night that would see him detained in Kamunting for two years under the Internal Security Act (ISA).The detention order was signed by Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar last night.
He will be held without trial under Section 8 of the ISA, reporters were told by his lawyers, who were at the High Court hear to argue their habeas corpus application on Tuesday.
He was detained under the ISA on Sept 12. Two others detained that day, Seputeh MP Teresa Kok and Sin Chew Daily reporter Tan Choon Heng, have since been released.
Raja Petra had filed a notice of motion through Messrs Mathews Hun Kandiah last Tuesday citing the grounds that his detention was unlawful and contravened the Federal Constitution.
His lead counsel at Tuesday's proceedings was Malik Imtiaz Sarwar. The Deputy Public Prosecutor was Abdul Wahab Mohamad.
The Court set Oct 28 to hear further submissions.
tunku : he deserve it.hopefully he'll learn something in kamunting.

If he is not happy to be detained under our ISA, he may seek the assistance of Lim Kit Siang for transfer to Singapore ISA or Anwar to Guantanamo.
yeah.. agreed.. he deserved to be grounded.. but the opportunist will used this situation as their main point of dissolving ISA....
now the ball is pretty much to be played nicely by the Home Minister to let the public know that this arrest is necessary and not used 'suka hati'..
good luck!
Raja Petra pernah keluarkan kenyataan dalam artikel yang bermaksud lebih kurang "apa nak jadi,jadilah".jadi dia memang dah bersedia dan tak kisah untuk dipenjara.
selamat berbahagia buat RPK di Kamunting! :P
Dia perasan diri dia macam hero bila dia ditahan di bawah ISA...biarkan...biarkan.
