char ch, *ma;

ch = fgetc(fp_test);
*ma = ch;

Here you need to allocate memory of char size to ma.

Second thing, the above mention line for fgetc is not required before the for loop, because, it’s being called twice before going into the ‘for’ statement body execution.
for(k = 1; (ch = fgetc(fp_test)) != EOF;)

initialize temp to how much memory allocated during maloc.

temp = temp+1;
ma = realloc(ma, temp);

Good Luck………
