The Bar Council pronounced former Inspector General of Police Hanif Omar is not suitable to head a independent row to examine a assault which took place during a BERSIH 3.0 rally.
Speaking at a press conference after chairing a Bar Council's unusual general assembly (EGM) today, a boss Lim Chee Wee pronounced Hanif had unfit himself by taking a stand opposite Bersih 3.0 earlier.
"It's unfortunate which a former IGP had referred to a little of a protesters as communists," he added. On April 28, tens of thousands marched in a nation's collateral though a convene was injured with reports of military assaulting scores of protesters and journalists.
Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein announced a arrangement of a six-member row on
Wednesday with Hanif heading a investigation team. However, Hanif had reportedly told a media progressing which a little of a demonstrators were communists as he claimed to recognize their faces.
Meanwhile, Lim pronounced he was disappointed when Hanif had alleged which a convene was directed at overthrowing a government.
"In my view, row member Steve Sim (former Sabah and Sarawak Chief Justice) is more competent to head a panel," he added. Lim also expressed disbelief if a row could examine a assaults during a BERSIH convene effectively, observant which it lacked a authorised horizon for this task.
"It doesn't have a power to call witnesses o! r ask fo r papers as opposed to a Royal Commission or a Suhakam Inquiry," he pointed out.
Of a 1,270 Bar members who attended today's EGM, 939 voted in favour of today's fortitude to conflict a military savagery opposite a Bersih demonstrators, whilst 16 voted against.The rest possibly left a venue before a event finished or did not take part in a vote.
