Civil society groups have proposed a list of "potential commissioners" for the royal commission of inquiry (RCI) into the events leading to the death of DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock.

The 120 NGOs, led by the KL-Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH), also backed the Malaysians for Beng Hock Movement.

They stressed that the government should appoint individuals who:

- are outstanding and professional figures with high integrity;

- have a proven track record of defending human rights; and

- have relevant experience in the area of human rights, law enforcement, judiciary and non-governmental activism.
