PUTRAJAYA: The public hearing of the Royal Commission of In­­quiry (RCI) into the discovery of temporary transit camps and mass graves in Wang Kelian in Perlis was told that Malaysian authorities were aware of the presence of the camps and graves earlier than their Thai counterparts.According to New Straits Times (NST) journalist Aliza Shah Muhammad Shah, the then Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar, however, decided not to disclose the discovery at the request of his Thai counterparts.

Aliza Shah said Khalid admitted this to her when she met the former IGP at an event on Oct 10, 2015, after he ignored her telephone calls and WhatsApp messages asking whether it was true that the Malaysian authorities had discovered the camps and graves in January 2015.
