This is a massive loss to the defence of human rights in our region.
From Malaysiakini:
Veteran opposition MP and lawyer Karpal Singh was killed in an accident near Gopeng in Perak this morning.
His long-time personal assistant Michael Cornelius Selvam Vellu, 39, was also killed.
Karpal's son Ram Karpal and the driver were also injured in the accident which occurred at 1.30am near 301.6 northbound marker along the the North-South Highway.
Malaysiakini learnt that Karpal and his son, who is also a lawyer, were heading north for a court case later today.
Photos taken at the scene of the accident show the white Toyota Alphard badly damaged.
Contacted later, an Ipoh police spokesperson told Malaysiakini that it is believed the MPV collided with a lorry which switched lanes without indication.
