"MALAYSIAN authorities have arrested a second blogger, this time for displaying an upside-down national flag on his website, according to reports. Syed Azidi Syed Aziz, better known as Sheih Kickdefella, was picked up by police late yesterday under the Sedition Act from his home in opposition-held northern Kelantan state, the Star daily reported.
Mr Syed Azidi, known for his links to the opposition conservative Islamic PAS party, had recently organised a nationwide Internet campaign to fly the Malaysian flag upside down in a sign of protest over the country's political and economic turmoil. The campaign caused outrage in the conservative Muslim-led country with Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi ordering a police investigation into the matter.
