COMMENT | It is unacceptable for the police force itself to investigate its own personnel.

| 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...

Beyond urgent inquiry into deaths in custody, such a commission is charged with being proactive in investigating other complaints against the police and enforcement agencies. And even where there may be no formal complaints, the commission is expected to investigate any suspicion of corruption in the police force and enforcement agencies.

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.
