Time for IPCMC with independence and power

ON 10 May, there was finally some agreement among the key players that it is time for the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) to be established. 

This is reassuring news, following the worrying note of uncertainty in recent developments on the IPCMC. While the government insisted it was not backing down on its manifesto promise to establish the IPCMC, objections raised by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and associated bodies showed that it did not have the full support it needed to function optimally.
