KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 30 — The Malaysian Gurdwaras Council has condemned controversial blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin’s remarks against veteran policeman Comm Datuk Seri Amar Singh as derogatory and racist.
Its president Jagir Singh also said the remarks towards the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director are also likely to create hate and disrespect towards the Sikh community in Malaysia.
“The turban to a Sikh is an article of faith that represents honour, self-respect, courage, self-confidence, spirituality and piety,” he said in a statement.
Jagir said the turban is also a reminder to every Sikh of his duty and responsibility to uphold truth and justice at all times.
Last Friday Amar criticised Raja Petra for alleging RM43.3 million had been stolen by the police following the raids on former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s premises in May, calling it “baseless and simply ludicrous”.
The blogger responded with a vicious attack on Amar’s turban, prompting Amar to express his surprise over the retort.

This is sheer over-the-top and unnecessary fanning of a wee campfire into a raging conflagration. I am disappointed that the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council is making a turban mountain out of RPK's cheeky molehill response to Amar Singh's warning-threat to him.
RPK did blog on the disparity between police and Najib's numbers in the amount of cash taken away from Najib's residences by police for investigation. There was then a war of words between the two, with the police commissioner describing RPK as not a investigative reporter but a mercenary writer.
Earlier, Amar Singh did warn RPK about his post - NST reported:
Amar Singh has challenged blogger, Raja Petra Kamarudin, to be brave and come forward to lodge a police report in Malaysia if he has credible information that police had stolen RM43.3million believed to belong to Umno.
“I will not pay heed to such a writer. RPK claims to be an investigative journalist, but looks very far from that.
“This is a frivolous and vexatious accusation against the police and I will not stay quiet against such an accusation.
“This is a baseless accusation. If he has such information on him, please lodge a police report in Malaysia, and don’t hide behind the cyber curtain.
“So, I am urging him to be brave. Action will be taken against him if the report is proven false,”
What RPK then wrote was "Amar Singh Ishar Singh’s turban must be too tight that it is restricting the flow of blood to his brain".
RPK was cheekily referring to the possibility of poor flow of blood to Amar Singh's brain, thus making the policeman's thinking naive in calling him (RPK) 'mercenary writer'. RPK retorted: Everyone is a mercenary, Amar Singh included. We all work for money, every single human being in this world. Even Mother Teresa needed money, plenty of money, to do what she did. What, did you think Mother Teresa just raised her hands to the sky and prayed to God for help and bread dropped from the sky?
As I mentioned earlier, Amar Singh obviously has (a) ultra sensitive feelings and (b) no sense of humour, perhaps indirectly proving RPK's point. His accusation of RPK being racist in this instance has been pathetic and irrelevant, especially after his determined resolve not to pay any heed to such a writer.

RPK's line above, namely, "Amar Singh Ishar Singh’s turban must be too tight that it is restricting the flow of blood to his brain" plus his following clarification have nothing to do with the subject of Sikh turban per se, but rather, Amar Singh's reasoning powers.

His accusation of RPK being racist in this instance has been pathetic and irrelevant, especially after his determined resolve not to pay any heed to such a writer.
And the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council has definitely gone over board by commenting that RPK's line has been "vicious" and also likely to create hate and disrespect towards the Sikh community in Malaysia.
That has been just plain silly and really, nonsensically making a turban mountain out of a wisecrack molehill.
Saying "Amar Singh's turban must be too tight" in that context was equivalent to saying "Singh has his knickers in a knot".
It means specifically "to become overly upset or emotional over something, especially that which is unimportant" as per the Police Director of the Commercial Crime Investigation Department challenging/warning/threatening an overseas unofficial/private blogger for his speculative post.
But ooops, I might have unwittingly offended another of Amar Singh's 'Sikh sacred issue', namely the Kaccha (cotton underwear) - no offence intended. Please blame it on the English for their politically incorrect idiom.

Apart from being disappointed with the Malaysian Gurdwaras Council for ratcheting up a silly issue when it should be cooling down the unnecessary acrimonious exchanges of words, I opine that Amar Singh and the Council members should be geographicists with their common propensity to "make mountains out of molehills". Wakakaka.
hahahahahaha......birds of same feather.....
ReplyDeletehahahahaha.....cheebye motherfucker kaytee and RPK of same type of cheebye birds.....hahahahaha.....fuuuck
aiyoh looes, must you keep insisting I fCk your mum - I swear I did NOT
DeleteBloody hell!
ReplyDeleteU called yr sifu's racist remark as cheeky molehill response!
Wa lau-eh, how much patronizing CAN u be?
How low IS yr low?
Lagi teruk, yr ampu-ing of jibby as in placarding the disparity between police and Najib's numbers in the amount of cash taken away from Najib's residences by police for investigation.
Oui…… jibby's claim is just his word w/o proofs. While Amar Singh's figure can be verified as detailed in Amar Singh's explanation!
Yr trying efforts in defending yr sifu's unbecoming showing of "I am an assassin" bruised ego REALLY confirm the cesspool both of u swim together!
Don't you fret DS Amar Singh; it looks like AI is on your side.

KT, it is more like making a turban (rugby ball)out of a gundu(hockey ball).
ReplyDeleteRPK accused the Police and insinuated Amar Singh of theft. That is a damn serious allegation.
ReplyDeleteWhen a Singh's pride in integrity or his religious values is being questioned, they don't let you off easily until you go down on four knees and plead for forgiveness.
That's why the late PM of India Indera Gandhi was assassinated for attacking their religious symbols.
The Gudwara Councils are united worldwide and they will hunt you down whoever or wherever you may be.
And that includes supporters of RPK like Kaytee who sees such slanderous mercenary bloggers accusations as merely a small matter.
RPK and his family better seek Scotland Yard protection fast or migrate to the Artic or Antartica.
Handbags. RPK’s blog has shrunk in readership, in fact it has gone as bare as his scalp. He’s a little jealous that Amar Singh is getting the limelight, previously reserved for him, PLUS Amar has so much hair he needs to tie it up.
ReplyDeleteTry telling that infront of a Singh...not behind a keyboard...
ReplyDeleteRPK is a vicious liar.
ReplyDeleteRPK in his desperation is resorting to promoting vicious racist attacks against Amar Singh.
ReplyDeleteThe Gudwara Council is right. RPK's mala fide statement must not be allowed to pass without condemnation.
Ktemoc has his own hidden agenda in downplaying RPKs attacks.
and Monsterball has his own not-so-hidden agenda (dedak) in aggravating RPKs words a la batu api
DeleteAh Moc ampu-ing his Sifu...just like how he had ampu-ed Jibby the Thief. When the 1MDB was blown out in the open, Ah Moc quickly wrote that it was just some naughtiness from Jibby, hehe.
ReplyDeleteNow this defence to the hilt of his Sifu...again this Ah Moc typically flocking to the same kaki of same feathers....making light of the insult and worse, implicit support when that mercenary accused Amar Singh of stealing more than RM 40 million.
Rpuki as usual write with a perverse bent. His vocabulary understanding of "mercenary" is so lame. Mercenary means primarily concerned with making money at the expense of ethics. Of course to bend everything to suit his agenda, he will twist and turn and in his haste to ampu, this dim-witted buddy Ah Moc is now his number chorus boy....bending over backwards even when it is obvious Jibby the Thief and Rpuki the Mabuk Liar are beyond the pale.
In the end nobody bothered abt rm43mil...coz why not...turban is bigger issue than integrity
ReplyDeletemean to say rpk can make his point without the ad hominem attack but he chose to do it, is he not a racist, n can u blame people turn to turban? whose integrity r in question?
Deleteif one know a comment/statement is racist but still wan to say it, i would think he is a racist, if he further explain n try to justify what is said, then no doubt he is a downright racist, moreover if he is a quite well known writer or blogger, cant believe u try to defend a racist like rpk.
ReplyDeleteadmit it, the Gurdwara Council was over-playing the racist angle when the issue was not racist but a mockery against Amar Singh's reasoning
DeleteAmar Singh of course started the racist game though I accept RPK accused the police first
who wrote "Can you see how treacherous Singhs can be?"? what over playing r u talking abt? is tis mere mockery? n pray tell how amar start the racist game?
Deleteescalation from an exchange of words
DeleteWakakakaka…
DeleteTypically wordsmith's semantic wordplay to get out of the cesspool he have chosen to swim in!
Najib/UMNO claims that there was RM160 million in cash. The police counted only 116 million confiscated from Pavilion. The difference was probably stolen "in transit", ie at the PM's official residence in Putrajaya itself or during transportation.
ReplyDeleteRPK in deep shit when a police report against him in UK was lodged by a citizen over there for the first time. His criticism of the Sikh's turban and dress is in violation of the racial laws in UK.
ReplyDeleteRPK forgot he is not in Malaysia where bloggers who use racism as a tool to further their political objectives and were never held accountable for the racial slurs spewing out.
RPK has broken the laws of UK and if found guilty will be jailed for a serious offence.
Kaytee may perhaps help in his mitigation before the court?
Telling a Sikh he is suffering from mental insufficiency die to his turban constricting the flow of blood would probably be an offence against UK's Hate Speech laws.
DeleteRPK will face UK justice.
Rpuki will immediately take down his offending articles and/or use again the same Chinese scapegoat name of Kevin Khoo, hahahaha. Remember when he once peed in his pants and changed all his byline name to one Kevin Khoo to ALL his articles in MToday...that idiotic kepala-kosong dedak addict will lose his head again with this round of shooting his own feet in his haste to make more illicit dedak while Jibby is still able to pay.
DeleteRPK had already given an explanation and had also offered/made an unconditional apology.
DeleteRPK has written something akin to something like "The Satanic Verses" book on the Sikhs.
DeleteAnd a Sikh Fatwa is already on him worldwide.
It would be better he plead guilty immediately to Hate Crimes Law and seek sanctuary/protection in the UK prison.
Don't play-play insulting Sikh religion.
DeleteRemember Indira Gandhi.
hahahahaha.....cheebye unknown.....RPK says sorry can hah? Clare says cannot hah? Fuck you man
DeleteSorry no cure.......charge him till RPK lose his kukuciao
U got quoted by Pete. Hehehe
ReplyDeleteRPuki and Cha Bor mutual admiration society.
DeleteKaki lang of the muhibah kind supporting each other...every other week, they exchange notes how much dedak they each racked in...now they have to support each other if their shit stirring went too far, hehehe. But we all know that Rpuki is a damn coward...he quickly took down his fabricated articles of lies about Robert Kuok when the latter made known his intention to sue. And many more instances in the past blown wide open this coward's pengecut true self, LOL. He taunted Amar Singh by claiming that he is an assassin and that he is out to assassinate a traitor like Amar Singh. Cakap saja pandai, but when it comes to the real crunch, his kukuchio shrivel to a wriggly worm and his balls to two tiny peas.
DeleteLet's wait for a Breaking News in the media : a bald man white man in his 70 found with an unrecognizable face( badly defaced ) and with fingers all chopped off in a bizarre case of mysterious slaying but with a strange note pinned to the bald head with these cryptic words "The Assassin Was Here". Hahahaha....
Don't play play with the Singh, tau ? This time, Rpuki had bitten more than he could chew. He always had this habit of stirring the shit and biting more than he could handle but this is REALLY stirring the hornet's nest...I repeat, jangan main main where Singh are concerned, hehehehe. Padan muka.
DeleteWakakakaka……
ReplyDeleteFinally the end is real & near for this fake news propagator, mom.
Thinking he is safe & comfort, far in Manchester. Thus just shoot from the hip w/o a cure for the consequences.
The 1st time fitnah Claire of SR, was forced to retract & apologize.
This time now, let the Sikh community of Manchester beats the legal weight down on him kau2.
Let this ego-bursted moron finds his solitude in a Mat Salleh jail for some time. Hopefully to reflect & 'redecorate' his wounded pride.
He can't come back to bolihland & the Mat Salleh rules on racial slurs r heavy & direct.
Serve him RIGHT!

DeleteRPPuki realises he broke British Law, and could be facing a criminal charge in Britain.....so time to backtrack...
This coward is a scaredy cat but likes to write BIG...how he was part of the feared Gang back in the days, hahahaha. How he waited with in the corridors with ready fists to tumbok someone. Now kuai kuai apologized again...minta maaf lagi ?
DeleteWait a minute....you think a Singh, much less a whole Sikh community will just accept a " I am sorry" after all the brutal words accusing Amar Singh of theft to the tunes of millions, calling him a traitor, and insult him about their scared turban, and finally blaring out that he is an assassinator coming to take out Amar Singh. Hahahaha...boastful but lebih bodoh. This hot head will never learn or change.
RPK will need protection from Scotland Yard just like Salman Rusdie for the rest of their lives.
ReplyDeleteWhat a way to end his blogging career.
"Kerana Mulut Badan Binasa"
The UK taxpayers will never agree to allow their hard earned money be spent protecting this nobody racist who is only infamous for mercenary shit stirring and to instigate blood shed. Salman Rusdie yes.....botak mabuk liar shit stirrer, no.
