SET UP OMBUDSMAN: The National Council of Justices of The Peace prefers the Government to set up the proposed ombudsman instead of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC). Secretary-general Datuk M. Ramalingam said it was because the ombudsman would address and investigate complaints against enforcement agencies, ministers and other parties instead of the proposed IPCMC, which was only targeted at the Royal Malaysian Police. Ramalingam added that other government agencies such as the Anti-Corruption Agency as well as the Immigration and Road Transport Departments should also be monitored by the ombudsman.
