The Home Ministry will establish a special committee to reinvestigate the alleged enforced disappearances of pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat.

According to Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, the decision was taken following a Suhakam inquiry panel finding that the police were involved in both disappearances.

"After studying Suhakam's report on the disappearances of Koh and Amri, we take seriously the findings that show police involvement.

"Thus, the cabinet has agreed to form a special committee or taskforce to further scrutinise the report, and then decide on the necessary course of action," he told reporters after attending a function in Putrajaya on Thursday.
