Shaharudin Ali says Suhakam overstepped its boundaries and left police with no means of responding to the allegations against them.

April 9, 2019 2:42 PMKUALA LUMPUR: A lawyer today suggested that the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia had overstepped its powers in the public inquiry into the disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat.

The Suhakam inquiry which began in October 2017 was put on hold for eight months as Lam claimed trial to extorting Koh’s son, Jonathan Koh, for the release of his father. “Due to Suhakam’s inquiry, the police feel dejected and frustrated because despite the arrest of a suspect in connection with the kidnapping of Koh, Suhakam continued to pursue without proper understanding of Section 12 of the Suhakam Act,” he said.

However, he agreed that a review is needed on the effectiveness of the police investigation as they had initially claimed there was no CCTV footage linked to Koh’s disappearance.
