Kg Medan tragedy still unresolved two years on, complains Prim

Two years have passed since the Petaling Jaya Selatan clashes erupted but no inquiry or royal commission have commenced despite various call to do so, said Parti Reformasi Insan Malaysia (Prim) today.

The incident, better known as the Kampung Medan tragedy, left six people dead and scores others injured from March 8 and 23, 2001.

"Despite dozens of calls by various parties and despite a time period of two years having passed, Suhakam (the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia) is yet to commence a public inquiry and the government is yet to hold a royal commission of inquiry," said Prim pro tem secretary-general P Uthayakumar in a statement.

He called upon the government to declare the incident as a national tragedy and to take serious measures to provide the necessary assistance to the victims.
