17 April 2014, a very sad day for Malaysia when veteran politician, Kapal Singh died in a car crash on the way to a court hearing in Penang.
A true champion of human right, justice and equality. His passing would be felt by all fair-minded Malaysians for a very very long time to come.
"As long as I am alive, I will continue to struggle to see a non-Malay become prime minister" - Kapal said this in 2012 that the Federal Constitution did not provide that only Malays could be prime minister. Unfortunately, he did not live to see this becoming a reality.
"They want to make it as difficult as they can for us here so we'll go away. But we will not go - that would be giving them what they want, and that would be wrong. We have to stay and fight". Kapal said this in an interview with an online news portal in 2014, discussing his guilty verdict on the charge of sedition
