Talk:Raja Petra Kamarudin

Link to Malaysia Today website
There are at least two news media (Star and the South China Morning Post) that cite RPK as owning, with one linking him with the Malaysia Today website. That has to amount to something, given the lack of coverage on Malaysian figures. Hell, I'm even having trouble finding information about his earlier detention. - Two hundred percent 02:39, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

The press copied this article?
There's probably nothing wrong with it, but it seems that The Straits Times have copied some sentences from this article. See here:. Im not sure if they cited wikipedia. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 04:15, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Jail even if there is bail?
I added this since, being in jail even if granted bail is tantamount to ads: If convicted, he faces up to three years in jail. "I am not posting bail. See you guys in October, I will be out for Christmas. Don't worry."ap.google.com, Malaysian blogger charged with sedition --Florentino floro (talk) 11:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Infobox
Hmm, do we need the box? My thinking is that these infoboxes are reserved for the Sultan, the direct heir to the throne, or those royalties with the title "Raja Muda" (if it exist in Selangor). RPK seems to be a member of the extended royal family, not direct. Im not sure. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 03:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Raja Petra is not the heir of anything, he just have royal blood, and is extremely proud of it. Some can just search up his article. I am sure there is one of his article's that clearly outlines his lineage. Regardless, remove the Yang Mulia, infobox etc. Raja Petra do make people insecure with his royal lineage, but the raja in his name, is just a name, it does not mean King.

His Highness? was someone joking? :P Xmen24 (talk) 16:30, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * The infobox was created by me. The title His Highness is to refer Yang Mulia or YM in Malay. The title is appropriately used to refer any royal families in Malaysia, no matter it's close to the Sultan or not (as long as he/she carries the royal blood and the royal title of Raja. Few days ago, I saw some vandalism to the infobox, where someone used the word bapok to refer Raja Petra. (Andrew Kidman (talk) 06:26, 1 August 2008 UTC)

Grammatical structure issue
From the main article page, "Malaysia Today" section

July 2008, Recent weeks Malaysia Today have been badly blocked (of its IP) or Hacked to prevent readers to view the information. Although the website IP have been changed frequently. But it seems there are no improvement for a smooth viewing of Malaysia Today. Malaysia Today (http://www.malaysia-today.net) died 6:00PM 26 August 2008, left relaunched a new website Harapan Malaysia (http://mt.harapanmalaysia.com) to continue the fight. The current Malaysia Today website is maintained under (http://mt.m2day.org/2008) after the second website was blocked.

The above definitely needs to be restructured. —Preceding unsigned comment added by S13dg3 (talk • contribs) 13:28, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Former Muslim?
Someone added the Category:Malaysian Former Muslims to this article. There is no mention of this in the article, so the category should not be added unless this controversial fact appears in the article with satisfactory citations. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 10:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
