Raja Petra to post bail today
Raja Petra Kamarudin has agreed to post bail after meeting his wife Marina Lee Abdullah at the Sungai Buloh prison this morning.
Marina is expected to arrive in the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court soon to post bail.
Raja Petra, who has been charged for sedition, had opted to go to prison instead of paying the RM5,000 bail two days ago, which he said he could not afford.
Hearing has been fixed from Oct 6 to 10 and Raja Petra would have to remain in custody until the hearing date in five months’ time should he decide not to post bail.
Yesterday, he refused to meet everyone, including his wife, and was said to have gone on a hunger strike.
Marina had gone to the Sungai Buloh prison to meet her husband yesterday morning to ask him if he would want to post bail after having raised RM35,000 from well-wishers.
However, she was told by the prison warden that Raja Petra did not want to see anybody, including her, and had also refused to eat.
Marina was finally able to meet her husband today.
It is unsafe to be in prison and this is the primary concern involved. His big time enemies of this sort can do you in by various means and we know they can get away with that.
