Gopal Raj Kumar says
Another display of privilege being unable to cope with a society where people have to think about what they do and work for a crust.
As if Raja Petra Kamaruddin is not an imposition enough on the rest of the community, especially on those who aspire to the better things in life through a mixture of inspiration and perspiration. His son has to now offer himself up as an unnecessary and unwanted reinforcement of everything his father’s detractors like yours truly say of the Raja senior is true. A usurper of public morality and the aspirations of those who struggle to be free.
