‘It’s my country, I will face anything here’


Dr Ng after her release from Kamunting detention camp in 1988.

DR CECILIA Ng (pic) could have evaded arrest and stayed away. But that was not for her. Malaysia was – and still is – her beloved country and she would face any problems right here.

When the Operasi Lalang arrests began on Oct 27, Dr Ng was out of the country but some of her friends were arrested. Other friends advised her not to return home.
