KUALA LUMPUR: Amending Article 140 of the Federal Constitution could lead to outside manipulation of the police force, says former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan .
He said the IPCMC wants to take over the powers of the Police Commission under Article 140 of the Federal Constitution on issues regarding disciplinary action and investigations."I do not agree with this . It will open the door to outside manipulation of the police force," he said when contacted Thursday .
Musa said he had called for the formation of the IPIC , which was specifically to reform the police force when he was IGP."The EAIC , however, was formed instead and tasked to handle issues involving all enforcement agencies in the country," he said. "If you look at it as a whole, all it calls for is an independent body to investigate and it could work well for the police.
