IGP not above the law, says Malaysian Bar


KUALA LUMPUR: The Inspector-General of Police should not be excluded from scrutiny along with other members of the police force by the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC), says the Malaysian Bar.

Its vice-president Roger Chan said Section 31 (4) of the IPCMC Bill 2019, which excluded the IGP from such scrutiny, contravened principles under Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
