The darkest day, 30 years later

Malaysia was doing fine. Then, in one iron-fisted move on Oct 27, 1987, the Government cracked down on politicians, NGOs and free society. Three newspapers were closed down. It has been 30 years since the dreadful day of Ops Lalang. How did it affect the families and loved ones of the 106 people who were detained? How did it affect Malaysian society? Star2 has an indepth look.
