G25 says no honest or professional police officer should fear the IPCMC Bill but certain deficiencies need to be rectified to improve its effectiveness.
G25 said this appointment process must be clearly provided to ensure the membership of the IPCMC reflects the diversity of Malaysian society; and that the appointment process is fair, transparent and based on merit. G25 said under the Bill, the prime minister is empowered to amend, from time to time, the schedule that provides for the composition of the disciplinary board.
The special select committee has been holding several sessions throughout the country to gather feedback, including from police officers. “Only if the witness protection framework is clearly spelled out will the public have confidence in lodging reports to the IPCMC.” G25 said the IPCMC should be given the power to handle complaints against the IGP and no special treatment or protection should be given to the IGP under the IPCMC Bill.
“Otherwise, in the interim period pending the establishment of the Ombudsman, who is to deal with complaints and misconduct against the enforcement agencies that are now under the charge of the EAIC?”
