Preparing to be arrested as the dragnet for Bersih 2.0 supporters widens, national laureate A Samad Said urged intellectuals to stop being 'carma' but dare to make a stand against cruelty and injustice. <br /> <br />He coined the word 'carma' which is the acronym of 'cari makan' (seeking to profit), during political satirist and cartoonist Zunar's book launch last night at Kuala Lumpur. <br /> <br />"Writers seldom take a stand.
