LETTER | 'A truly professional police force committed towards integrity and discipline would not object to police oversight body.'
| We are taken aback and utterly disappointed by the recent statement by the outgoing Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun inSince the recommendation of the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysia Police published in mid-2005, the Malaysian Bar and civil society has demanded the IPCMC as an independent and external oversight body to investigate complaints about police personnel and to make the police accountable for their conduct.
We are of the view that the objections made by the outgoing IGP towards the setting up of the IPCMC does not instill confidence in the rakyat that the police force is serious in wanting genuine reforms to be made to the police to ensure that the police would not only be seen to be a credible professional police force but is also one in reality.
We say that only a police force filled with unprofessional and undisciplined personnel would want to object to the setting up of the IPCMC. The recommendations of the Royal Commission should be implemented in place of the EAIC, which has no clout whatsoever other than to make recommendations to the attorney-general.
