UPDATED VERSION. I spoke in a petition session at the Suhakam this mroning. It was chaired by Commissioner Dato' Choo Siew Kioh, a retired diplomat.

My interview by the Bukit Aman CCID in relation to live commentaries over Al-Jazeera on Nov 10 was included in a memorandum forwarded by DAP, which relates to a spate of stampeding on human rights as exemplified in various fear-inducing tactics employed by the Abdullah Administration, the Attorney-General and the Police over the last few days and months.

The memorandum listed 10 incidents in an inexhaustive list, asking Suhakam to start an inquiry, or inquiries, on anyone of them. Suhakam promised to start its own investigation on matters raised today.

The next full commissioner meeting for Suhakam is cheduled for January 14.

UPDATES, Malaysiakini 4:15pm: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia has called off abruptly its open inquiry into the use of ‘live’ bullets during the Sept 8 Batu Buruk Incident, Kuala Terengganu.

Earlier in October, Malaysiakini said panel chairperson, Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, said Suhakam had told the press that the commission decided to proceed with the inquiry because the police were not investigating the shooting incident.
