Karpal Singh, imperishable noble spirit

Posted: 17 Apr 2014 04:08 AM PDT

We, at Radio Free Sarawak would like to express our sadness and deep sense of loss at the sudden passing of the opposition leader, DAP Chairman, MP and lawyer Karpal Singh.  Last month, the High Court found him guilty of uttering seditious words against the Sultan of Perak at the height of the constitutional crisis in 2009. Today, our veteran commentator, Christina Suntai will share his struggle and hardship stories in the lifetime.

And SADIA secretary-general Nicholas Mujah, visits Tuyut Baram.  His message to the villagers is to stay strong in defence of their native rights and protect their NCR land without fear. He stresses, Sarawak people must confront bullying and remember they can choose the leaders they want at the election.

Also RFS's DJ Peter John Jaban continues his own reporting on the dangerous situation in Tuyut. Today he discloses that the "security guards" hired by the plantation giant are claiming to be police from Bukit Aman!  Needless to say they have been unable to provide any identity.

And finally, we introduce the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) and its campaign to highlight the conflict over palm oil.  They say that awareness over he impacts on our rainforest, animals and human rights comes by simply sharing information.

Hari ini, kami merakamkan rasa simpati kepada keluarga anggota Parlimen Bukit Gelugor yang meninggal dunia akibat kemalangan jalan raya awal pagi ini. Karpal Singh, 74, yang juga bekas pengerusi kebangsaan DAP dan pembantunya Michael Cornelius terbunuh selepas MPV Toyota Alphard yang dinaiki terlibat dalam kemalangan dengan sebuah lori di Km306.1 Lebuhraya Utara-Selatan, berhampiran Gua Tempurong di Kampar, Perak. Kepimpinan Pakatan Rakyat di Pulau Pinang turut melahirkan rasa simpati dan sedih atas kehilangan Karpal Singh yang mendapat jolokan 'Tiger of Jelutong'. Dan pengulas veteran kami, Christina Suntai akan menkongsikan cerita-cerita beliau yang amat dihargai oleh rakyat Malaysia.Selain itu,Nicholes Mujah dari Sadia, juga berkongsi pendapat dia kepada Iban di tuyut baram terhadap perlindungan dan mempertahankan hak-hak orang asal dengan berani. Dia kata, kalau orang Sarawak berasa ditindas, itulah pemilihan orang Sarawak apabila membuat keputusan undi pada waktu pilihanraya. Dan juga, wartawan RFS Peter John Jaban mendedahkan "security" yang menghalang orang kampong di tuyut, walaupun tuntut sendiri sebagai "polis dari bukit aman", tetapi gagal mengesahkan dengan apa-apa bukti.
