: Several Members of Parliament today urged that the new Human Rights Commission of Malaysia chairman be appointed immediately to ensure it can properly carry out its functions and role on human rights.
“Further delay will result in more questions raised and there will be a negative perception of the appointment process... as such, it must be expedited without outside interference,” he said. Teresa Kok Suh Sim , meanwhile, urged that the number of Suhakam Commissioners be increased by appointing from minority groups, such as Orang Asli, Persons with Disabilities , community representatives and professionals and, thus, have a more inclusive composition.
