PETALING JAYA: The Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) will bring the plight of the families of missing Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat to the government, urging that their disappearances be investigated.
CFM chairman Archbishop Julien Leow Beng Kim said following the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia's findings, it will explore every avenue available to bring the plight of the families of Koh and Amri to the attention of the government, parliament and the Prime Minister.
Leow said although it welcomed the announcement by Dr Mahathir that the government will open an investigation into the Suhakam findings, it urged for Suhakam's recommendations to be adopted. Liew said she looks forward to Koh and others to be"released", so that the families may receive closure, adding that it was also hoped that the perpetrators be brought to justice.
Previously, Suhakam had initiated investigations in connection with these disappearances under Section 12 of the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia Act.
