Aliran president P Ramakrishnan called for the Beng Hock inquest to be disbanded with a royal commission of inquiry set up in its place.
“If you want real change, then change the government,” he asserted, at which the crowd erupted in thunderous applause.
The other speakers were Beng Hock’s sister, Teoh Lee Lan (via recorded video) and Toh Kin Woon. The forum, moderated by Ng Eng Kiat of Suaram, was held at a hall in the Han Chiang School.
