The Court of Appeal's decision to uphold the government's stay on the RM37 million judgment in the Pastor Koh case raises concerns about the pursuit of justice for the victims and their families. By delaying the payment of damages, the court's ruling may prolong the suffering of those seeking accountability for the enforced disappearances. Immediate compensation could provide some measure of relief and recognition of the harm caused. The prolonged legal process may also deter other victims from seeking justice, fearing prolonged litigation without timely redress.
