Bill Kayong, a dedicated land rights activist and member of the opposition party in Malaysia’s Sarawak state, was killed in a drive-by shooting while waiting at a traffic light in broad daylight on Wednesday.
Sarawak Criminal Investigation Department chief Dev Kumar told The Borneo Post that the case is being classified as a murder, but appealed to the public to avoid speculating on who might be responsible as the police conduct their investigation. He also asked for any member of the public who might have information about the assassination of Bill Kayong to come forward.
