: Bersih 2.0 has expressed disappointment that Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamd has appointed eight commissioners to the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia without allowing the Parliamentary Select Committee for Major Public Appointments to vet them.

“The PSC on Major Public Appointments was already formed since December 2018 and it would have been the right thing to do to allow the PSC to vet potential candidates even if the process has not been encoded in the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia Act 1999 ,” Bersih said in a statement issued today.

It urged Mahathir and the PH government to expedite the legislative amendments to the process by which key appointments are made.
