Death
S. Krishnasamy was assassinated on January 12, 2008 when a gunman shot him dead at 2:30 p.m. just as Krishnasamy arrived at the MIC party headquarters at Jalan Segget, Johor Bahru for a committee meeting. It is believed that the shot hit below his left eyebrow. The bullet went through to the back of his head.[2]
