As federal ministers and their entourage flood the small town of Galas for the by-election campaign, a group fighting for justice for the death of political secretary Teoh Beng Hock and other death-in-custody victims has hit town hot in pursuit.
"We are here to hand over a memo to the ministers for their signatures. We want them to sign the memo to support our search for justice for Beng Hock," said activist Ng Yap Hwa who was leading the hunt for the ministers and is the head of the group calling itself 'Malaysians for Beng Hock', an eight member delegation that includes Teoh Lee Lan, sister to the deceased. They are also pushing for justice for all those who have died in detention or custody besides searching for justice for Teoh who was found dead after interrogation by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission.
Asked why they have come to Galas during the by-election, Ng explained that a by-election is the most convenient place to find the ministers who are normally not found or seen elsewhere but during the by-election, they are all here.
