This is the biggest joke of the year. Appointing Hanif Omar, who was quoted as lending credence to PM's claim that Bersih 3.0 rally was intended to occupy Dataran Merdeka and ultimately to topple the government just a few days ago to lead the Bersih 3.0 independent probe panel is a joke - 1Christians
Former inspector-general of police Hanif Omar has been appointed the head of the independent panel to probe incidents of violence which occured during the Bersih 3.0 rally.
Five others on the six member panel will comprise academicians, former judges and media presentatives.
Hanif is the fourth and longest serving police chief in the country.
He had recently courted controversy when he claimed that communist sympathisers who were active demonstrators in the 1970s were involved in the Bersih 3.0 rally.
"The tactics of using provocateurs to cause the demonstrators to clash with police and to bring children along in the hope they would get injured were tactics learnt from past pro-communist demonstrations," he was quoted as saying.
He was also criticised for supporting Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's claim that Bersih 3.0 was a coup d'état attempt.
Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who made the annoucement today, said that the terms of reference will be decided within the next few days when the panel has its first meeting.
He said the other members of the panel are:
