Teresa Kok (PH-Seputeh) said the High Court had cited the findings of Suhakam and a government-formed special task force that the police, specifically the Special Branch, were involved in Koh and Amri’s disappearance.
“Is there a special unit, team, squad or agent within enforcement agencies that conducted the operations that led to the enforced disappearances?
“Otherwise, what steps are the government taking to identify the group or individual involved, in line with the nation’s obligation to prevent and investigate enforced disappearances?” the DAP MP said during the committee-level debate for the Supply Bill (Budget) 2026 for the home ministry.
Earlier this month, the High Court ordered the government and police to pay Koh’s family RM37 million over the state’s involvement in his abduction.
Justice Su Tiang Joo held that one or more of the defendants, from former to current police officers, had been involved in Koh’s abduction and had acted under orders eight years ago.
Su also ordered the government and police to pay a sum of more than RM3 million to Amri’s family for their failure to conduct proper investigations into his disappearance.
Koh was abducted on Feb 13, 2017 while driving along Jalan SS4B/10 in Petaling Jaya. During the trial, the court heard that five masked men in black military outfits had pulled Koh out of his car.
Amri, the founder of the NGO Perlis Hope, left his home at about 11.30pm on Nov 24, 2016. His car was found at a construction site at the Bukit Cabang Sports School in Perlis early the next morning.
