MBJB removes Karpal’s portrait, cites ‘sensitivity’

What was thought to have been a case of a stolen portrait of the late ‘Tiger of Jelutong’ Karpal Singh was proven untrue when Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) admitted it was removed due to its ‘sensitive’ nature.

The portrait of the late Bukit Gelugor MP, who passed away in an accident on April 17, was among the 33 art pieces on display at the Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk cultural event in Johor baru when it suddenly went missing.

At a Johor Baru press conference yesterday called by DAP representatives, MBJB was taken to task for its arbitrary removal of the portrait, reported the Oriental Daily News today.

DAP Senai state assemblyperson Wong Shu Qi said they first thought that the painting was ‘taken away’ by some party supporters but later found out the culprit was none other than MBJB.

“Would showing the portrait of a dead person amount to inciting public disorder? Or is Umno fearful of a dead person?” she said at the press conference, in questioning MBJB true intention in confiscating the late veteran opposition’s picture.

She urged MBJB to return painting to the exhibition adding that the council’s action amounted to theaft besides being a violation of the spirit of freedom of expression as enshrined in the federal constitution.
…
Oriental Daily News quoted MBJB as saying Karpal’s portrait was removed because of ‘public complaints’.

Council enforcement unit director Mohd Khairul Anuar Esa said the painting was removed from the exhibition site and was now being kept in a council store room.

He alleged that members of the public had complained that Karpal Singh was not a Johor-based politician and his portrait’s display could trigger sensitive political issues if it continued to be exhibited in the state.

*Excerpts from “Karpal: Tiger of Jelutong”

KARPAL SINGH

The Tiger of Jelutong is a nickname the veteran politician gained during his years as a vociferous Member of Parliament (MP) for Jelutong, a Penang seat he held on for two decades. Interestingly, the intimidating moniker stuck even after the DAP stalwart was defeated in Jelutong in 1999. Today, Karpal is the MP for Bukit Gelugor.
(The roar of the Tiger)

Karpal Singh is widely regarded as the best criminal and constitutional lawyer practising in Malaysia today. Since graduating from the University of Singapore in 1969 he has been a fearless, intelligent advocate for justice and a defender of human rights in South East Asia, and has appeared in the Privy Council in London on a number of occasions before such appeals were abandoned by Malaysia.

*The Dr Mahathir Mohamed – Karpal Singh “discussion”

Malaysiakini

Dr Mahathir Mohamad has challenged me to prove that he has made seditious comments against the royalty during the Parliamentary debates leading up to the 1993 constitutional amendments on the monarchs’ immunity.

………..

In tabling the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, 1993 to set up the Special Court to take away the immunity from legal process of the King and the Rulers, Mahathir, uttered the following, among the many other, seditious remarks during a time when he had no Parliamentary immunity from being charged in court for making those remarks:

“Jika Malaysia ingin menjadi sebuah negara yang mengamalkan Demokrasi Berparlimen dan Raja Berperlembagaan, kekebalan yang diberikan kepada Raja-Raja perlulah dihapuskan. [Tepuk]’ [Hansard 18 January, 1993, page 16]

“Sebenarnya ketiga-tiga Perdana Menteri dahulu, sebagai Penasihat kepada Raja-Raja, telahpun menegur Raja-Raja berkali-kali semasa mereka berkhidmat. Saya tahu teguran ini dibuat kerana perkara ini telah dilaporkan dalam Mesyuarat Jemaah Menteri dan juga Majlis Tertinggi UMNO berkali-kali.

“Allahyarham Tun Hussein Onn semasa menjadi Perdana Menteri pernah dalam ucapan bertulis di suatu Mesyuarat Majlis Raja-Raja, yang dihadiri hanya oleh Duli-Duli Yang Maha Mulia atau wakil-wakil mereka sahaja, menegur dengan kerasnya perbuatan Raja-Raja yang tidak harus dilakukan.

*ANWAR IBRAHIM WILL GO TO JAIL, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. For 5 long years…

*Karpal Singh? He would have been given a custodial except for his physical condition. Nevertheless, his sentence will disqualify him from serving as an MP.

*PKR vice-president Tian Chua is currently being investigated for a seditious tweet where he promised “to bring down the Prime Minister”. Earlier in March the Batu MP also applied to set aside sedition charges for a speech he made on May 13.

*Who is next? “I’m next,” said Nurul.
