TONY, TONY, QUITE CONTRARY

Actually, I gave the money to Bernard a.k.a. Zorro to use in bailing out six or seven people who were arrested during the candlelight vigil in the Civic Centre in Petaling Jaya. Maybe Zorro would like to say something on this matter and name those people he bailed out.
That day was 23 January 2009, at the (old) PJ Court. 23 vigilers were arrested on 9 December, the eve of the Bersih Anniversary. YB Lim Kit Siang, Din Merican and I went to Ipoh for their first candlelight vigil organized by YB Kula, Jong and friends. It would have been 26, so we did save some money.
I was late going to court that morning but was in time to do what I was asked to do – act as bailor. Other bailers were already identified and bail money distributed to them. We had to post bail for 17 OKTs. Fr Paulinus bail was paid by his parishioners, the four DAP YBs together with lawyer Ashok Kumar posted their own bail. I distributed money to Stephen Franicis and Danny to bail 3 each. I found out that we were short of RM450 to bail out my 3. We had to pass the hat around and most of the contributors were parishioners from Church of Divine Mercy, Shah Alam. That sorted out we had to go to the bank as required to deposit bail money.
My responsibility was to ensure the last nine get bail posted:
