Death from un-natural causes could happened to anyone in custody and there is no justice if no open public inquiry is conducted.

There are already many records of deaths from un-natural causes in Malaysia immigration posted online during the past few years. When I was inside, I witnessed an Indian national was taken to the staging ground with serious rat urine poisoning symptoms and being made to wait to receive emergency treatment. However due to their SOP, he was delayed for a long time before him being sent to the hospital. There was talk that he did not make it. Subsequently, there was a lots of inspections being carried out on all the surrounding areas by different groups of higher ups authorities. We make inquiry with the Indian Embassy in KL and receive some limited answer and we could not go beyond anything.
