It has been two years and two months since Mohd Kassim Abdul Hamid's son, firefighter Muhammad Adib, died from injuries sustained during a riot - and closure is nowhere in sight for him and the family.
For Mohd Kassim (above), it's as though the government no longer considers the case as important.
"We are still waiting for the authorities' next step. We keep asking the government to speed up the investigation and make arrests.
"It has been too long, the (coroner's) court has already made a decision, but the authorities still have not taken any action.
"Our family is very disappointed by the government's attitude, it's like they're flippant about it and no longer considering it a national problem," he told Malaysiakini.
Adib, 26, died in December 2018 from injuries sustained during a riot outside the USJ Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple the month before.
The coroner's court found the death was due to a criminal act perpetrated by two or three unidentified assailants during the riot.
It also found that the police and FRU's failure to control the riot had contributed to the firefighter's death.
However, as of August last year, police are unable to find any evidence to support the finding that Adib was beaten.
The police did recommend that 12 suspects in the case be charged for unlawful assembly and a fresh inquest into the firefighter's death. Neither actions have materialised.
According to former attorney-general Tommy Thomas, police believed that Adib was injured by accident when a fire engine reversed into the vehicle he was trying to get into. Evidence supporting this theory was presented during the inquest.
'Don't deny he was killed'
For Mohd Kassim, however, there is no need for a fresh inquest.
Meanwhile, the family's lawyer Aidil Khalid said police did not show any vigour in carrying out their re-investigation into Adib's death.
Aidil drew a comparison between the case of Adib and cosmetics tycoon Sosilawati Lawiya.
He said despite there being no witnesses to Sosilawati's murder, authorities were still able to secure a conviction based on circumstantial evidence.
Likewise, he said there was strong circumstantial evidence pointing to murder in Adib's case.
He cited testimony from witnesses that a beating occurred at the riot and forensic analysis among the evidence that there was foul play.
"Police must continue investigating, and if they can't find it, keep at it to find the killers.
"They should never deny or change the narrative, as though Adib was not murdered just to cover up police's failure to find his killers," said Aidil.
"Not all criminal cases will be solved. If the killers can't be found, then this case should be filed as unsolved. But don't deny he was killed. That is what we protest." - Mkini
