Some panel members involved were also seen giving their comments and views in this forum that included the former Chief Minister of Sabah, Datuk Yong Teck Lee; Bingkor Assemblyman, Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan; UMS lecturer, Dr. Ramzah Dambul; political activist, Zainnal Ajamain; lawyer, Haji Ansari Abdullah and Edward Bon.
