KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 — The “Save Malaysia” campaign demanding the prime minister’s resignation also seeks reforms that will prevent deaths such as those of Aminulrasyid Amzah, A Kugan and Teoh Beng Hock, DAP’s Lim Kit Siang said today.

The DAP parliamentary leader, who spoke at lengths on the topic during the People’s Congress by the “Save Malaysia” movement yesterday, also said that a Royal Commission of Inquiry was needed to restore rule of law and the judiciary in Malaysia.

“One objective of the ‘Save Malaysia’ campaign is to implement meaningful institutional reforms to restore the credibility, independence, professionalism and integrity of national institutions to ensure that we are a country where Aminulrasyid, Kugan and Teoh Beng Hock do not become victims of injustices of an unfair and iniquitous system – which had completely deviated from the guarantees of rule of law and institutional checks-and-balance entrenched in the 1957 Merdeka Constitution and the 1963 Malaysia Constitution,” he said in a statement.

Aminulrasyid was a 14-year-old schoolboy shot dead by police in Shah Alam over six years ago, and whose family this week won RM414,000 in damages against the police, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar and the government over the killing.

A Kugan was a suspected car thief who died in police custody in 2009 and whose family was initially awarded over RM750,000 in their suit against the police, Khalid, and the government in 2012.

Teoh was a DAP aide who died in the custody of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission also in 2009 and whose family won RM600,000 over his death.

Khalid was found liable to misfeasance of public office in the cases of Kugan and Aminulrasyid.

The Save Malaysia movement is led by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and supported by former Barisan Nasional leaders, opposition parties and civil society members calling for Datuk Seri Najib Razak's resignation.
