00:00PKR's Lee Chien-Chung has urged the government not to appeal the High Court rulings holding it and the police liable for the enforced disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Chae Maip.
00:12Lee, the Bataling Jaya MP, said in a statement the rulings reflected the values of compassion, respect and trust espoused by the Mandadi government.
00:21The Kuala Lumpur High Court, in its ruling on Wednesday, had ordered the government and police to pay a sum of more than 37 million ringgit over the state's involvement in the abduction of Koh.
00:32Yesterday, the Attorney General's chamber said that it would appeal the High Court's decisions ordering the government and police to pay the two families a total sum of over 40 million ringgit.
00:43The decision to appeal was criticized by former MP Kua Kya Sung, who said it was unconscionable and a betrayal of justice, compassion and the principles championed by the government.
