PETALING JAYA: The setting up of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) is within the law and will not undermine the powers of the Police Commission, say legal experts.

Human rights lawyer Andrew Khoo said the IPCMC would not undermine the powers of the Police Commission nor jeopardise the powers of the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) in meting out disciplinary action.
