I was shocked to learn about the fatal car accident that happened to Mr Karpal Singh this morning
Whether you like him or not, his passing is indeed a great loss to our country's legal profession. He has left a remarkable mark, not only in many case law or precedents where he had acted as the council or in many text books, but also for his outstanding belief in certain issues (albeit very sensitive to some). Without doubt, he was one of the prominent lawyers in our country
For years to come, I believe his name will still be greatly mentioned by us. My condolences to his family & friends
