No plans to set up IPCMC: Nazri



0 comments

KUALA LUMPUR -- The government has no plans to set up an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz in parliament today.

To a supplementary question from Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim (PKR-Permatang Pauh), he said the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission set up on April 1, last year was sufficient to investigate complaints of misconduct of enforcement personnel in the country.

On March 25, 2008, then prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced that the IPCMC draft bill was ready to be presented to the cabinet before being tabled in parliament. But it was deferred as parliament was dissolved that year to make way for the 12th general election. - Bernama
