TAWAU: Member of parliament Datuk Chua Soon Bui has submitted a memorandum of appeal on Yong Vui Kong to Datuk Husein Hanif, the new Ambassador and Permanent Mission of Malaysia to the United Nations (UN) at the UN headquarters, New York, in July.
Chua said she briefed Husein that Vui Keong, a young Malaysian from Sandakan, who is now awaiting execution in Singapore for drug trafficking, was facing injustice.
Reference was made to Vui Keong's counsel, M Ravi, that the Chief Justice of Singapore, Chan Sek Keong, should recuse or disqualify himself from hearing the youth's appeal as he was in a position where conflict of interest occurred.
