Malaysians are shocked that another social activist has gone missing, making a total of five persons missing in the past six months.
The latest case of missing person is Peter Chong, former aide of Subang MP R. Sivarasa.
Peter has been missing for more than three days. His son has reported to the police but to date there has been no news on his whereabouts.
Prior to Chong’s disappearance, he had complained on Facebook about a motor-cyclist who was a stranger approaching him and warning him on March 31 about people vanishing.
The other four who have disappeared since November include pastor Joshua Hilmy and wife Ruth, Perlis Hope activist Amri Che Mat and pastor Raymond Koh.
Such disappearances have never happened in the past sixty years.
Why are they happening now?
The Police have not been able to throw any light on the disappearance of these five persons, raising the question whether Malaysia is now set in the trajectory of a rogue state, where people can disappear in broad daylight without the authorities responsible of public law and order and the security of Malaysians able to stop the spate of missing persons or to assure citizens, investors and visitors that Malaysia is a safe country for them to stay, invest and visit.
The Home Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi, should give this issue the topmost priority and have an urgent meeting with the Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Abu Bakar Khalid to ensure that Malaysia is not in the trajectory of a rogue state, where people can disappear into thin air with the authorities unable to throw light on the phemenon whatsoever.

I understand that those who disappear are the simple fellows who have no means of protecting themselves other than the protection afforded by the Police.
I am sure the police are trying their best. We should give them our co-operation to the fullest.

Good to hear that one of the missing has taken a bus to Thailand. Perhaps he ran to Thailand because he does not feel safe at home after receiving threats to his life. If the fellow is still alive, he should contact the Malaysian Police to inform them of his existential status.
Anyway, It is bad that people disappear or that that they are forced to wear Pink Panther detective overcoats and sun-glasses for no good reason.
Let us Pray for the Pastor, each in one’s own way.
