The number of deaths in police custody, police shootings and deaths in detention camps has reached intolerable levels.

Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun has been quoted as saying that the police force does not want to hand over the power to take disciplinary action against its personnel to the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission .

He conveniently fails to cite the second paragraph of this clause: “… provided that Parliament may by law provide for the exercise of such disciplinary control over all or any of the members of the police force in such manner and by such authority as may be provided in that law, and in that event, if the authority is other than the commission, the disciplinary control exercisable by such authority shall not be exercised by the commission; and no provision of such law shall be invalid on the...

Secondly, this IPCMC has standard operating procedures. The moment they know of a death at the hands of the police or an enforcement agency, they swing into action immediately to investigate and collect evidence. They do not wait around for a bunch of NGOs to shame them into action, or exhume the victim after months of inactivity, as in the Teoh Beng Hock case.

In April 1999, the government revealed that there had been 635 deaths by police shootings in the previous 10 years. The two-month sentence served on the former inspector-general of police for nearly killing the former deputy prime minister during the latter’s incarceration hardly served as a deterrent to these torturers in the Malaysian police force.It is a basic democratic principle that individuals who are elected or appointed to exercise power over others should be accountable for their actions.

Their findings were then submitted to the then home minister, who happened to be the prime minister himself.

IPCMC – Police are not above the lawCOMMENT | It is unacceptable for the police force itself to investigate its own personnel. They thought they were the LAW 😂 There are always bad eggs in the forces even world wide ? As protectors to all this underground activities (mafias) ? We need those bodies (third party) to monitor and control this abuses of powers !!! As “grey zones” can be abuse by laws and immunity rights! (100s billions) Policemen and policewomen are not above the law. Very true. That is why the Penal Code must be used on them.

Police force united against IPCMCKUALA LUMPUR: On the eve of handing over his duty to the new Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun voiced his objection to handing over the power to take disciplinary action against its personnel to the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC). Good. That's the whole point. IPCMC should make you uncomfortable, of being watched & scrutinized all the time. So that you shall be made responsible for your actions. So that no one gets away scot free. IPCMC now, chedetofficial , my_malaysia , muhyiddin_my Mengapa takut macam nampak hantu? Perhaps the Govt should consider exchanging these officers with Civil Defence Corps?
