It’s ridiculous that the government task force to investigate the enforced disappearances is made up of police officers or those who have worked with the police, MP for Klang Charles SantiagoIn April, Malaysia’s national human rights commission or Suhakam said the police played a role in the enforced disappearances of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat, he pointed out.

“Why are the police investigating themselves? What’s even more disturbing is having senior leaders, such as Muhyiddin Yassin, dismiss concerns raised by the civil society, which has spoken out about the conflict of interest.” “ Mokhtar Mohd Noor, the former police legal division head, had a direct interest in the Suhakam probe and even made submissions on behalf of the police during the public inquiry held by Commission,” he said.

Santiago said Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been speaking about upholding the rule of law, but the task force reflects anything but that.

Muhyiddin defends inclusion of Mokhtar in Pastor Koh and Amri task forceKUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has defended the inclusion of Datuk Mokhtar Mohd Noor in the task force, probing the disappearances of pastor Raymond Koh and Perlis activist Amri Che Mat. Aiyah...jz change la. Surely there r many others. Of course la the family complained. Suhakan said the abductions were done by police (SB). Now you appoint one of their own in the task force. If everyone in the police force is neutral, then why do need IPCMC at all?

'Mokhtar's inclusion in Koh, Amri task force won't affect probe'Home Minister says Mokhtar alone cannot influence the task force.  Muhyiddin is being stubbornly stupid. Mokhtar Mohd Noor is the Legal Unit chief of the good for nothing PDRM which actually does not want this case to re-opened. Even the stupidest person on the face of the earth will know that what Mokhtar says will affect investigations. Please throw this useless guy out ...we need a strong robust KDN not a the one jaga tepi kain orng type ... Somehow with the Polis, be they ex or otherwise, in the probe team one just does not feel secure...Polis squealing on the Polis? - your guess is as good as mine.

Home Minister Tan Sri... Knp hilang? MH370 tak nak cari? Bahangdalang1 Tan Sri, your decision creates suspicion on your intent.
