Karpal Singh’s birthday bash in Penang celebrates a lifetime of run-ins with the law worthy of mention in the Guinness Book of Records.
“He never gives up on justice. He had always persevered. Indeed, he stands tallest among all of us,” said Karpal's eldest son, 39-year-old Jagdeep Singh Deo, as he related how Karpal inspired him to pursue law in Australia. Jagdeep also described how his father's struggles – – has made a lasting impression on his own life.
Later, an elderly guest only known as Cheong, thanked Karpal profusely for helping him resolve his problems many years ago, when he was a taxi-driver in Kuala Lumpur and said, “I do not really know how to thank him; he has given me a new lease of life. He is a man to be respected by everyone.”
