Instead they say the government should strengthen the existing Integrity and Standards Compliance Department of the police force.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Retired Senior Police Officers Association of Malaysia and eight other associations of retired police officers have strenuously objected to the formation of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission , which has the power to take disciplinary action against police personnel for wrongdoings.
“We feel that the Royal Malaysia Police does not need an outside body to monitor disciplinary control as it will jeopardise the powers of the Inspector-General of Police in terms of issuing orders and controlling discipline. The other eight bodies are the Veteran VAT69 Commando Association, BN 7 Police Field Force Association, Former Special Actions Unit Association, Johor Retired Police Officers Association, Squad 72 Association, Melaka Retired Police Officers Association, Malaysian Police Pensioners Association and the Malaysian Former Police Officers Association.
“The police force also has the Integrity and Standards Compliance Department, which is responsible towards the conduct of police personnel…what needs to be done is to strengthen the existing department instead of forming the IPCMC,” he said, urging the new IGP, Hamid Bador, to make his stand on the formation of the commission.
