Yoursay Stop Hiding Behind Osa Amri S Family Deserves The Truth

YOURSAY | ‘What do the police and government have to hide?’
Govt, police appeal to prevent Amri's wife accessing classified report
Kilimanjaro: This doesn't look good at all. The immediate thought that comes to mind - what are they hiding?
We all thought we would be looking forward to a transparent and honest government. They are all the same, aren’t they?
I think it is time we seriously consider a third force or independents who have the character and honesty to serve the people.
Day by day, I am losing hope in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his government. 
Koel: On what basis are they seeking to deny a wife full information on her disappeared husband?
Does this mean that the Malaysian government colluded in the disappearance of this man? 
Is the current government becoming a party to such reprehensible acts of state carried out by some of the worst dictatorships in the world?
Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, what is this? Is this to be your legacy?
Before Perikatan Nasional and PAS jump in for some advantageous politicking, you fellows in the unity government are no better.
Unless you are willing to provide full disclosure to Norhayati Mohd Ariffin and her family, you lot are just as sinister and devious in your silence and failure to find her husband Amri Che Mat.
BlueMouse0551: What do the police and government have to hide? You must come clean and let Amri’s wife have full access to the report - don’t hide behind the “classified special task force report”!
Amri’s wife has the right to information about an incident that was suspected to be perpetrated by officers in the Special Branch of Bukit Aman and everyone responsible should be held accountable.
How can you deprive Norhayati (above, left) and her family?
Robbed!!: Why? For sure, something is being hidden. I think it must be opened so that the authorities will not hide behind the Official Secrets Act 1972.  
Only matters of national security should be classified. Hiding possible information of kidnap by a third party or criminal activities or corruption cannot be allowed and must be exposed.
SeniorCitizen: Why fearful? Implies something to hide. Unless it affects national security, the public and especially the family have the right to know.
Even the report on the Double Six crash was declassified and released recently.
A country and its authorities need to be transparent in such matters to get the support and confidence of its citizenry.
That's the beginning of a just and humane society.
Robbie98: This action by the government and police is wrong. The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam), a government-approved body, concluded that the enforced disappearance appeared to be spearheaded by the police’s Special Branch.
The police have no direct interest in these two people’s kidnapping and making them disappear. The question has to be - who ordered them to do it and why?
Reminds me of a lady who was blown up with C4 by two policemen.
We talk about a moral, law-abiding, god-fearing country yet our actions are contrary. Please let justice prevail and bring closure to the grieving families.
BluePanther4725: The police must be held responsible for the forced disappearance of Raymond Koh and Amri Che Mat. Also, don’t forget Indira Gandhi’s daughter.
These cases reflect badly on our police’s integrity and capability. Until now, the police have had no results. The police are not above the law.
Mosquitobrain: Can the Madani government under Anwar shed some light here?
We’re talking about innocent victims of forced disappearances in which police investigations were never made public.
The people expected the relevant authorities to come clean in this matter. Or was it just another NATO (no action talk only) Madani government?
Another talent wasted: Anwar, until and unless all these types of so-called classified reports are declassified, you and your government will still be seen as being no different from the previous government.
You still seem to be under their shadow of influence, and that’s not good for the country going forward.
The crime had been committed and the perpetrators should be made known, made to apologise to the families who have suffered all these days and the necessary compensation be made.
This is also to ensure that such a heinous crime will never be repeated.
Maybe your small step will mean a big step for most Malaysians to move forward.
Apanama is back: Oh! This is good.
The Madani government is now undertaking reverse transparency while talking about transparency and accountability.
In this case, they have everything to hide.
It is natural and common sense that a wife wants to know what happened to her missing husband.
But here we have a government called Madani saying, “No”. Another case of hypocrisy in this land of endless possibilities.
NotSurprising: Thumbs down for appealing.
When something is done wrongly, bite the bullet and admit it.
Even though the rakyat will be angry, they will also understand at the same time that the government has the guts to admit wrongdoings and take action, no matter how difficult it is.
You will then have voters’ confidence.
A wife is being prevented from knowing more about her husband’s disappearance. This is cruel.
JW: This is not right!
The government and the police deny a citizen the right to find out something about her husband whom she is fighting for.
Is that not going against the legal concept that a citizen has every right to know what the government/police have charged or associated a person with?  
This appeal under this Pakatan Harapan-led government surely speaks poorly of whatever “reformasi” credentials Harapan, especially PKR, have stood proudly for. - Mkini
