Families happily await imminent reunion


MELAKA: The wife of Gadek assemblyman G. Saminathan was in tears shortly after receiving a call. Then came another and another. However, V. Umah Devi said she did not manage to answer all 45 of them.

Her husband will be a free man soon as Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas had exercised his constitutional powers to discontinue proceedings against Saminathan and 11 others over their alleged links to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.
