DAP leader and member of Parliament Karpal Singh received a live bullet in an envelope at his law firm in Jalan Pudu Lama yesterday afternoon. [Malaysiakini]
The live bullet was accompanied with a note warning him against speaking out on the controversial issues of Malay rights and the constitutional powers of the Sultans.

To be frank, if the person who sent the bullet does want to harm Karpal, he would have use the bullet straight away. Not saying that we should take this death threat lightly though; it’s better to be safe than sorry.
What I really don’t want to see is the whole situation being blown out of proportion… some bloggers are already turning this death threat into a racial issue, but fact is the threat is probably plotted by one single individual and not a whole race.
I wish Karpal well… hopefully it’s just an act of cowardness instead of a serious threat.
