PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Today editor Raja Petra Kamaruddin was released on bail at 9.30 am Friday.

His wife, Marina Lee Abdullah, posted bail of RM5,000 on Thursday after her husband agreed to it.

Raja Petra had declined to meet visitors, including his wife, since Tuesday, when he was taken to Sg Buloh prison after refusing to post bail.

Marina finally managed to persuade her husband yesterday.

Speaking to reporters after he was released, Raja Petra said he had declined to meet anyone as there was not much to be done except await his trial, which is scheduled for October.

However, prison authorities urged him to seek release due to concerns over his personal safety in prison, he claimed.

Raja Petra also said he had not eaten anything since he was taken to prison on Tuesday.
