Raja Petra hopes to channel funds for bloggers’ defence

MStar - Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamarudin will propose that the donation collected for his bail be put into a Bloggers Defence Fund.

Raja Petra, 58, wrote in his blog yesterday that this was to ensure bloggers who were prosecuted would have financial support.

But he said this would be finalised only if the donors agreed to his proposal.

More than RM37,000, including US$4,330.10 (RM13,859.78) paid through Paypal, was collected following a call for donations on his website.
