In what seemed to be a reversal of roles, RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) said opposition MPs wanted the suspects involved to be hauled to court.

“Adib died in 2018,” he said referring to Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim.

“Yet, why has no action been taken against the suspects involved in his death,” he said when debating the King’s address this evening.

When Pakatan Harapan was in power, opposition members, especially those from PAS, had been clamouring for action against those who killed Adib.

Adib died at the National Heart Institute a month after being sent to the scene of a riot outside the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Subang Jaya in November 2018.

In 2019, the Coroner’s Court ruled that “more than two unidentified persons” had killed the fireman.

Rayer went on to say any case involving the death of a civil servant should be closed as soon as possible.

He said that even though the home minister had been changed twice, Adib’s case has yet to be resolved.

“So my question is why have the suspects not been charged until now. I am pleading with the home minister to provide an answer.”

In December, Hamzah had said that the investigation was in the final stages and the results of the investigation would be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
