Numerous e-mails are floating around with regards to RPK appearing on HARDtalk and various dates have been mentioned. Just to set the record straight, the recording will be done on 1st September but the program will be broadcasted the week after 6th September. The actual date has not been decided yet but we will keep you informed.

About HARDtalk

HARDtalk is the hard-hitting flagship news programme shown on BBC World News and the BBC News channel.

The half hour interview is the result of detailed research and in-depth investigations.

HARDtalk asks the difficult questions and gets behind the stories that make the news - from international political leaders to entertainers; from corporate decision-makers to ordinary individuals facing huge challenges.

The main presenter of HARDtalk is Stephen Sackur, one of the BBC's most respected journalists.

Before joining HARDtalk, he worked as a correspondent in the Middle East, America and Brussels.

Folks, don't hold your breadth. Don't forget is Astro is owned by UMNO cronies, and they will never ever allow this particular Hardtalk programme be aired on Astro BBC New channel. You may see some other repeat programme be aired it its place by Astro. M-T, or someone else, please post this Hardtalk interview on M-T itself or on youtube.

Few points to watch out for:

1. This is an internationally recognised talk show broadcasted throughout the world. Speak clear and simple with good reference materials, citations or quotes.

2. This is called Hard Talk. Answer back harder.

3. Go kick ass, man. We will watch it with legs kicking here too.

In case BBC is bias against Malaysia, tell them off too. We must be fair to draw the line between nationalism and corruption.

Well done, RPK!
Now let's see if our ruling leaders are fit to be under this spotlight, if ever they are invited, or maybe, they decline any invitation...?

I expect the government to replace this particular interview with another program waxing lyrical about Nutjib's achievements since he leapfrogged onto the throne. As usual they'll try very hard to prevent kampong folks from ever knowing about what the most popular son of the soil have to say on international television. But then not all kampong folks are as stupid as what umno think they are.

I'll make a date with the TV when this one is aired or go watch it on YouTube if this pathetic gomen think they have won by replacing it with some other crappy 1malaysia documentary.

What a blow to the BN government.... BBC is going to interview the so-called fugitive before they are even interested to talk to the nation leaders. RPK to Malaysia is like Aung San Suu Kyi to Myanmar.
