PETALING JAYA: Batu Sapi MP Datuk Liew Vui Keong, who died on Friday (Oct 2), is remembered for his commitment to law reform, especially in the abolishment of the death penalty.

From politicians to human rights groups, many acknowledged that Liew pushed hard for reforms to the justice system, even when met with resistance.

"He was plain-spoken and practical, but very determined. He did his best to help and went above and beyond his duties as a minister. "His death is a big loss to the people and the country. His services and devotion as a leader will always be remembered," he said. "A multi-agency committee was set up – which survived the change of government. And currently, a cabinet paper is being prepared," he said.
