Raymond Koh's family want task force seen through

The family of Pastor Raymond Koh is hoping that the government will follow up on a recent announcement to set up a task force on his disapperance as well as activist Amri Che Mat.

This, following the findings by Suhakam last April, which found that they had been victims of enforced disappearances involving state agents.

Pastor Koh's wife says she had not heard directly from the Home Minister following his announcement on the formation of the task force.

As such she has called on Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin to issue a formal statement on the matter.
