Bring back truly independent IPCMC Bill to hold police accountable, Suaram tells govt following ‘cartel’ exposé

KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 — Only a truly discrete Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) would hold the police accountable following the revelation of the prevalence of corruptible practices within the law enforcement agency, Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) said today.

Following allegations of the existence of a corrupt cartel within the police force as revealed by Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador, Suaram therefore said it was necessary for the government to do away with the proposed Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) Bill which it tabled in August last year.

Instead, the government should reinstate the now-scrapped IPCMC Bill proposed under the previous Pakatan Harapan administration.
“The IPCMC will provide an independent body that will help investigate cases of police misconduct at every level, from the lowest officers to the very senior members of the Royal Malaysian Police.
