KUALA LUMPUR: The bill to set up the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to replace the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) will be tabled to the Parliament as soon as possible.
Home Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said currently the ministry is at the final stage of scrutinising every detail of the IPCMC draft before taking it to the cabinet first.
We have had discussions with respective stakeholders including police and people who have been concerned about this, we have to take into account all these.
In our study we have made changes so the IPCMC is going to be a commission, there will be specific laws with regard to the IPCMC where we define the scope of works and so on, he said at a press conference after chairing Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia Supreme Council meeting at Menara Yayasan Selangor yesterday.
Recently, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad announced that the Cabinet had agreed to convert EAIC into IPCMC and the Public Complaints Bureau into Ombudsman Malaysia to ensure more effective management of public complaints against enforcement authorities, and government departments and agencies in Malaysia. -Bernama
