GEORGE TOWN: Former MIC president Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu has described the late DAP chairman Karpal Singh as a people-centric person and perfectionist.
“He was only 74 but he worked like a young man, day and night, all with the people’s interests and betterment in mind.
“He was a man of action and could be trusted. He was very perfect in his work.
“Everything he did, he did it with perfection,” he said before paying his last respects to Karpal at his wake on Friday.
Recalling their ‘duels’ in Parliament, Samy Vellu said Karpal had always raised questions for the benefit of the people.
“I was in Parliament with him for many years. Everytime and everything he raised, it was for the benefit of the people.
“Whatever questions he asked, I would give him very satisfactory answers. I would provide him with more information should there be further clarification.
“I am very sad today because we have lost a very good friend.
“His demise is a great loss to the country. It was so sad that this had happened to him.
“We have lost a good Parliamentarian and a leader of our country,” he said.
Gerakan Youth chief Tan Keng Liang said the country had lost once of her most formidable Opposition leader in history.
“The Gerakan Youth feels sad and is still in a state of shock when we heard the news. Every Malaysian feels the same.
“Karpal was a respected lawyer who had contributed immensely not only to the political arena, but to the legal aspect of this country.
“We salute his lifetime achievement and expressed our deepest condolences to the family of the late Karpal Singh,” he said.
