Karpal receives live bullet, warning note
Updated: Govt as well as Opposition MPs speak in one voice, condemning the threat sent to DAP chairman Karpal Singh
KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 — DAP chairman Karpal Singh received an envelope containing a live bullet and a warning note at his law firm in Jalan Pudu Lama here yesterday.
The envelope was delivered by a motorcyclist who wore a full-face helmet.
Karpal, who is MP for Bukit Gelugor, has lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters on the incident.
Accompanying him were Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo and DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang.
Karpal told reporters that the man had entered his firm about 12.30pm and handed over a yellow envelope containing the bullet and the note.
"I was at home when my clerk informed me that I had received the bullet and the note. According to her, the man kept silent and left immediately," he said, adding that he was worried for his safety.
He declined comment on whether the incident was related to his controversial remarks pertaining to the power of the Malay rulers.
Karpal said this was the second time he had received a live bullet. In 1981, he received an M-16 bullet which was delivered to his house in Penang. — Bernama
