      Liew Vui Keong - A man whose mission was cut short

      Published: Oct 3, 2020 9:29 AM | Updated: May 15, 2021 7:07 PM

      Batu Sapi MP Liew Vui Keong, who passed away yesterday, was a man with a mission who worked on multiple reforms simultaneously during his tenure as the de facto law minister for the Pakatan Harapan federal government.

      From decriminalising suicide and drug addiction to police and human rights reforms, the 60-year-old Warisan permanent chairperson was doing it all.

      However, many of his initiatives were cut short when the Harapan government collapsed after 22 months following the withdrawal of Bersatu from the ruling coalition and the defection of 10 PKR MPs led by Gombak MP Azmin Ali.
