The full report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Lingam's video clip should be made available online for the public to “judge”.
DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said he welcomed the Cabinet's decision to make the report public but it should be made easily accessible to everyone.“This is something that concerned all 27 million Malaysians and they should not be charging a price that no one, other than some rich institutions, can afford.
“If this had happened in other countries that are serious about accountability and transparency, I believe the report would have been already posted online.”
He said the Government should develop e-governance and make full use of information technology by immediately putting the report online for everyone to view.
“I believe the Government has the technical expertise and if it really doesn't, we are willing to provide help.”
Lim said it was time for Malaysia to restore both national and international confidence in the independence and quality of the judiciary that had suffered serious damage in the past two decades.
DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng said it was right for the report to be made public as it involved public interests.
“Justice should not only be done but must be seen to be done.”
