Suhakam commissioner list given to PM already, says Liew

PUTRAJAYA: A list of proposed commissioners for the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) was submitted to Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad a week ago, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong.

“The list has been given to the Prime Minister for him to make the announcement,” he said after opening the National High-Level Dialogue on Business and Human Rights here.Suhakam has been without commissioners after its chairman Tan Sri Razali Ismail resigned on April 16, about two weeks before the end of his term, while terms of the other seven commissioners ended on April 25.
