The culture of impunity that surrounds the work of the police and other law enforcement agencies has worsened, according to a human rights report by Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) for 2010.

Revealing this today, Suaram chairperson K Arumugam (left) predicted that the situation will likely worsen due to the authorities' failure to halt the downward slide in the human rights situation.
“The human rights situation next year will worsen as people in power do not want to change. They cling to power instead of fighting for liberty," said the human rights activist.
