Karpal wants death-threat charge, dropped

NST - DAP chairman Karpal Singh wants the Attorney-General (AG) to drop a charge against a college student who had posted a death threat on a PAS Youth website.
Karpal Singh, who received the death threat, said this was because he had accepted an apology from the 19-year-old and the fact that he was still young.

"But the court process has to go on because my statement has been recorded. I only want the AG to drop the charge.

"His apology was sincere and I have accepted it,” he told a press conference at his office here today.

On April 26, the teenager turned up at the Johor Baru South police headquarters to assist police with investigations into the posting of the death threat.
Accompanied by his father and a PAS supporter, the student had also handed a letter of apology to Karpal through Johor DAP deputy chairman Norman Fernandez.

In the letter, he had also asked the DAP stalwart to withdraw the police report.... selanjutnya.
