KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Karpal Singh's three children can continue to represent him in his sedition trial at the High Court.
The question of whether the three -- Gobind Singh Deo, Ram Karpal Singh and Sangeet Kaur Deo -- could act as Karpal's lawyers came up when judicial commissioner Azman Abdullah noticed in the video recording that they were present during Karpal's press conference at his office six months ago.
Karpal is charged with uttering seditious words against the sultan of Perak at his legal firm in Jalan Pudu Lama here between noon and 12.30pm on Feb 6. He is alleged to have said that the removal of Datuk Seri Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin as menteri besar by the sultan could be questioned in a court of law.
And that constitutes sedition? Are they for real???

The terrible confusion caused by the AG and home minister's gross abuse of the Sedition Act is all due to a typographical error. The legislation was originally intended to as a means to maintain Law & Order by ordering troublesome and unruly children to bed without dinner. As such, it was originally called the Sedation Act. One tiny clerical error has led to decades of expensive litigation...
No, it's not sedition.
No one went out there after Karpal's tame words to try and overthrow HRH or the monarchy or the Govt.
Elsewhere, by now the Judge would have thrown the case out after the Utusan repoter and RTM staff testified Karpal had ultra vires HRH and they did not know who Karpal or Anwar were!!
What a comedy show!

Antares, someone ought to sedate them all and send them to an isolated island. It's never too late.
DPP, yes I haven't forgotten ultra vires. We have rocket scientists for reporters.
' ultra vires' strikes again !?
