BANTING, July 18 — Datuk Seri Rais Yatim today offered for Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) to broadcast police recordings of unruly crowd behaviour captured during the July 9 Bersih rally.
The information minister urged the police to hasten the showing of any such material to combat allegations of police brutality during their attempts to disperse the crowds attending the rally for electoral reforms.
Earlier today, Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said six teams will be set up to probe alleged incidents of brutality and violence by the authorities during the Bersih rally.
He also appealed to the public to submit video footage captured during the march as evidence that police used excessive force in dispersing protesters.
Police previously another formed three teams to investigate the death of protester Baharuddin Ahmad, whom authorities said died of a heart attack, and claims that police fired tear gas and water cannon into Tung Shin Hospital that day.
Today, Rais also said the public should not criticise the police for not being genial in the execution of their duties
“If they’re like that, the public will not be afraid of them... We don’t want the police to be always smiling or being too polite until the people question their ability to protect the country,” the minister was quoted in a Bernama Online report today.

The support cameraman had to turn it back on after realising it was off.
So a major crucial portion of the footage showing PDRM brutality on Bersih participants was not recorded.
Go look up in court inquest records for precedentsif you need verification.
Happy now, Rais?

This is another great lie to confiscate them and deemed it as illegal or prohibits so that they could destroy any evidence to prove of the police brutality!!!
