Karpal Singh received a real threatening letter enclosed with 2 live bullets at his home in Penang this morning.
It is not a surprise after his recent comments on the appointment of the Perak MB. He is a straight-talker, straight like a ruler, unlike a comrade of his which is crooked as a snake.
Recently, Pemuda Gerakan Tanjong asked the police to provide extra protection to LGE - it was a waste of time and effort (read post on Fabricating Tales).
Karpal Singh and all his family members need all the extra protection they can get from the police.
The threat message:
Cilaka, babi, anjing.
Jgn main2 dgn raja melayu.
Kalu tak syg anak bini jgn cr. pasal.
nanti lu satu Family gua bakar!!!
lu punya rumah semua gua tau!!
lu cabar Melayu mati lu satu family!
I do not agreed with Karpal Singh comments and his legal challenges on the Perak issue.
But, threat such as this is totally abhorrence. The police must use all resources to bring the criminal to justice - an example must be set.

Karpal gets two live bullets, death threat in mail
GEORGE TOWN: An envelope containing two live bullets and a death threat had been mailed to DAP chairman Karpal Singh’s home in Jalan Utama.
In his police report lodged at the Penang police headquarters this afternoon, Karpal Singh, a lawyer, said his clerk Ahad Hassan found the envelope sent from Perak in his postbox at his home about 8.15am on Thursday.
“I was in Kuala Lumpur yesterday when my clerk Puan Nazimah informed me on the phone about the envelope which was handed to her at about 9.45am at my legal firm in Green Hall here,” Karpal Singh told waiting pressmen at the police headquarters at 12.20pm.
“When opened, Nazimah found the envelope contained two live bullets and a hand-written letter.
I told her to keep the envelope and its contents in my office safe until I came to Penang Friday to lodge a police report for the police to launch a thorough investigation.”
The writer threatened that Karpal Singh and his family would be harmed for showing disrespect to the Malay Rulers.
Karpal Singh said this was not the first time he had received such a threat, adding that the police had done nothing after he lodged a police report in Kuala Lumpur last May upon receiving a live bullet with a letter outside his office in Jalan Pudu Lama.

Just a blog post? No police report to ask police to protect Karpal ah?
HKL has a selective hearing and chooses only on what benefit his Gerakan Youth.
While Malaysia is in deep hole in the current economy and Penang in specific, we still have this type of politician.
Karpal Singh had immediately made a police report himself and had asked for added protection. No point to ask blogger to report for him. It is people like fishhook & his friends that are selective and blinded by loyalty
