IPCMC U-turn is disappointing, but not surprising | The Malaysian Insight

THE postponement of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission bill came as no surprise as the police have of late started showing resistance to this watchdog body.

Obviously, it will be difficult in the beginning for the police but they will gradually evolve into the nation’s bastion for the rule of law. We only have to look back at the experience the nation suffered during the 1Malaysia Development Bhd fiasco to realise the urgent need to implement the IPCMC. Rogue officers misused their enforcement powers with the intention of protecting their political masters. We must never again be subject to the wanton manner power was abused.

The fusion between the police and the executive at the moment, is too strong. The police are to a large extent pressured to comply with the political masters’ paradigm of thoughts.
