“The Malaysian Bar wholeheartedly supports the recommendations of the Inquiry Panel, principally the establishment of a Special Task Force to reclassify, reopen and reinvestigate the disappearance of Amri Che Mat and Pastor Raymond Koh, and especially to look into police involvement in their disappearances,” he said.
“More worrying still was the thread of actual testimony and circumstantial evidence that interwove this operation by the Special Branch with the abuse of power by certain individuals within the state Islamic religious authorities, to seek to highlight the threat of Shia Islam,” he said. Abdul Fareed said that Malaysians deserve to know what happened to Amri and Koh, and others like pastor Joshua Helmi and his wife Ruth, as well as Saiful Bahari, a civilian contract worker for the police who has also vanished.
