“Thank You ALL” for your Donation And Support

Dear Supporters,Readers and Members of Malaysia Today,

On behalf of Malaysia Today, I would like to thank each one of you who donated and who could not donate due to various reasons . Each one of yours support in various forms was the demonstration of the peoples will and the trust on RPK. Your commitment to helping raise the money which exceeded the purpose requirement is sincerely appreciated.

I don't know how to describe your support so far, but I could only quote what Robert F Kennedy said

“ Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or act to improve lot of others,or strike out against injustice,he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. Those ripples built a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance “

Each one of you stood up in one form or other and are still standing....

Thanks again for your generous support for RPK and the success of Malaysia Today.



Money matters

updates 09.09am 7th May 2008 - Total Donation after we call off the campaign

From CIMB bank account : RM24,500.00

From Paypal account : $4,330.10 USD

Also please Note that we have CALLED OFF this donation drive as we already collected enough fund to bail out our dearest YM RPK and that was the purpose of this donation drive.

We will publish the details of the amounts collected and spend with proper records very soon.

As the donation still keep coming in even after we deleted the account number from MT,makes it tough to close the account .



Excess Money

We are receiving few different suggestions from many of you in terms of the excess money collected

To hold the money for future scenarios as it was a politically motivated donation

Go ahead with donation to charity.

Buy laptop and maintain/improve the webpage.

This matter will be discussed with RPK ,once he is back. We also like to thank you for writing in requesting to continue donation drive and to reinstate Paypal Logo back.,but we would like to stop it here for time being. RPK has agreed for this drive only after much of persuasion. Lets not divert from the purpose at this point of time.


Site Administration

We would like to apologize to the everybody who emailed to our administrator and to which we have not responded so far. Please take this posting as my personal reply to many of yours views,suggestions and concerns.

Administrator mail box is flooded with 100's of mails and still coming in. There will be delays in membership registrations and letter to editor postings. Bear with me. It will take at least 1-2 days to recover.

We assure you that we will update you on the latest events on RPK,as and when it happens.

All the necessary actions are taken together with his family members to secure his release.



Malaysia Today Continues...



Best wishes,

Vineeth Menon
