Karpal, my hometown hero


Scanned Pix : Staric Starpix By : Ng Ah Bak Reporter : Koh Teng Hin Hello again... Jelutong MP Karpal Singh shaking hands with a housewife at the Perak Road market.

The maverick lawyer took on the role of Big Brother to local journalists, protecting us from powerful local figures who tried to intimidate us.

I FIRST heard about Karpal Singh when I was still in school in Penang. It was around the time Star Wars hit the cinemas in the late 1970s.
