The name Michael Cornelius Selvam Vellu may not be as famous as the man he was serving - renowned lawyer Karpal Singh - but his sacrifice would remain in the annals of Malaysian history for his devotion to his master or boss.
It would suffice to say that Michael was literally the man behind Karpal since the 39-year-old, would push his boss around in his wheelchair wherever he went, including to the Parliament.
Bukit Gelugor MP and former DAP chairperson Karpal Singh, 74, died in a car accident on the North-South Expressway this morning near Gua Tempurung, Kampar in Perak together with his long-serving personal assistant Michael.
Karpal’s daughter Sangeet Kaur Deo said Michael was a 'faithful servant to his master’ and stayed with him even in death.
In a 1.10am road accident at Km306.1 of the North-South Expressway near Gua Tempurung in Kampar early today, involving an MPV and a lorry, Karpal and Michael died at the scene.
Hailing from Vellore, Tamil Nadu in southern India, Michael leaves behind a wife, a son and a daughter while his body is expected to be flown back to India for burial.
Karpal, who leaves behind a wife, five children and four grandchildren, stepped aside as DAP chairperson temporarily in March, pending his appeal against a sedition conviction.
