In Memory of Kasim Ca Tong


Just got word this morning that a dear lawyer friend Kasim Ca Tong was shot dead in Golok last night ! As of now I am still trying to contact friends who are there in Golok.

This is all so shocking and upsetting !
**Will up-date as soon as I get more info.

**UP-DATES-5-11-2008
2 very conflicting versions have appeared on our local papers today and one source who actually saw the bullet riddled t-shirt believes the first one
here is more conclusive. Read the other one here. Either way this whole killing of this gentleman is beyond comprehension and unwarranted!

It's always sad to lose a friend.

Just sending my sincere condolences your way.

:(

You'll feel better but it'll take a bit of time.

Star dared not put a by-line to the story for fear of further embarassment to their irresponsible reporter.
Shows you how veterans like Mr. Leman of Kota Baru, who has served the NST loyally for decades, can put together quite an emphatic 'victory' over the 'competition'. Even got a photo of crime scene, quote from police officer, restaurant owner, etc..
Some people who aspire to be or beat the journalists, should look at this job more seriously from now. Don't just blabber about thinking that you hold the golden pen just because you have a blog.
