THE call to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate “Memali Incident” is justifiable and should be supported by all. Though the incident happened more than 30 years ago, it is still in the hearts and minds of so many people in the country.
The time has come for the government to strongly consider setting up an RCI so an independent body can investigate the incident in the remote village of Memali in Baling, Kedah, on Nov 19 1985 which resulted in the deaths of several villagers and policemen. Many were also arrested that day.
