PETALING JAYA: MCA Youth has called on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to stop stalling on his promise of uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat.
MCA Youth spokesman Ryan Ho Kwok Xheng said there has been no fresh probes despite the Prime Minister's promise to do so on April 3.
"Dr Mahathir had not mentioned the cases ever since and no significant headway has been made.
"As the head of the Pakatan Harapan government, Dr Mahathir holds all resources and power needed at his fingertips to unravel this mystery.
"It is an act of irresponsibility if the premier continues to chalk up all this stalling in investigations as the fault of the previous administration," he said in a statement Tuesday (June 11).
Ho said that Dr Mahathir should be instructing Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to pick up the pace in the re-investigation of the disappearances for the sake of the victims and their families.
"Pakatan Harapan had taken advantage of these cases as political ammunition before GE14. Yet, now that they are in power, why are they not doing all they can to get to the bottom of these disappearances and make their findings available to the public as quickly as possible?
"For as long as our police leave this case unresolved, we Malaysians will never be truly safe even in our own homes," he said.
In April, the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) inquiry concluded that both Pastor Koh and Amri were victims of forced disappearances.
