Jelutong MP questions whether RCI public forum shields those responsible

Jelutong Member of Parliament Raja Kamarul Bahrin Shah Raja Ahmad has questioned the intentions behind a public forum related to the royal commission of inquiry, alleging it could be a coordinated effort to shield responsible parties from court proceedings.

The MP raised concerns about whether the forum, organized in connection with the inquiry, was genuinely aimed at public engagement or served a different purpose. He suggested the initiative might be intended to protect implicated individuals from judicial consequences.

Raja Kamarul's remarks add to ongoing scrutiny surrounding the royal commission of inquiry and its associated public consultation efforts. The questioning reflects broader concerns among opposition lawmakers about the transparency and true objectives of official inquiry mechanisms.

The comments come amid continued political debate in Malaysia over accountability measures and the credibility of official investigations into matters of public concern. The MP's statements suggest growing skepticism among some lawmakers regarding the efficacy of public forums as genuine fact-finding exercises rather than public relations exercises.
