Malaysia Opposition Veteran Leader Dies
Malaysia Opposition Veteran Leader Dies Bukit Gelugor MP and veteran DAP leader Karpal Singh was killed when the car he was travelling in collided with a five-tonne lorry near Gua Tempurung on the North South Expressway here early Thursday. The impact of the crash at about 1am killed the prominent lawyer and his assistant, C Michael, on the spot. Karpal's son, Ramkarpal, and the car's driver, C Selvam, were injured. Karpal's Indonesian domestic helper was also injured and is in critical condition. He was on his way to Penang to attend a court case later in the day.  In 2005, Karpal was involved in an accident which left him paralysed and wheelchair-bound. He was returning to his home in Penang when a car hit his taxi at the rear. Karpal graduated from University of Singapore and started his law practice before becoming a DAP politician in 1978. He recently stepped down as DAP chairman pending his appeal against a sedition charge of uttering seditious words against the Sultan of Perak in 2009.      |
