Former police chief recalls fond memories


A showdown between laywer Karpal Singh and the Penang Police Chief Datuk Zaman Khan made the front page of the STar back in 1981

KUALA LUMPUR: One of the country’s former top cops was asked to kick the late Karpal Singh out of the Penang State Assembly after he was suspended in 1981. He ended up walking arm-in-arm with Karpal out of the building past a large number of policemen in riot gear. The policemen saluted the lawyer.

Tan Sri Zaman Khan, the then state police chief, remembers that day with fondness.
