Going to jail with Karpal and learning court language

PETALING JAYA: Being a Penangite, Star Publications (M) Bhd group managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Seri Wong Chun Wai had been curious about the penal colony of Pulau Jerejak as a young reporter and had asked Karpal Singh to take him there.

Wong, who joined The Star in Penang in 1980, covered the courts. It was in the courts that he met Karpal.
