said the Bill was “a huge step backwards for police accountability in Malaysia” and called for a proper independent commission to investigate police misbehaviour.
In the UK, the head of the police oversight body must not have any prior employment with the police force, mirroring the requirement of Hong Kong’s Independent Police Complaints Council that prohibits the appointment of individuals who were previously members of the police force. The Bill also establishes a mandatory obligation for the police to promptly refer incidents involving sex crimes, grievous hurt, or death of any person in custody to the commission. While commendable, to strengthen this clause, it could be reinforced by making it legally binding for the police to submit the complaint as soon as possible.
This approach is followed by oversight bodies like the Australian Law Enforcement Conduct Commission and the Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission.
