PETALING JAYA: While the sacking of former PKR vice-president Tian Chua from the party was seen as a matter of course, it was a sad day for the Reformasi icon who had “laid down his life” and been in and out of lock-ups in his fight for justice after Anwar Ibrahim was sacked as deputy prime minister in 1998.
Party colleagues recall Tian Chua as among the key drivers of the Reformasi street demonstrations which often turned violent with the police using force to break them up.
Among the most memorable moments was when Tian Chua sat on the road in front of a police water cannon truck trying to break up a demonstration at Dataran Merdeka.
