He added that the powers of the IPCC were clear and that matters of crime and corruption were always referred to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), respectively.
"A total of 1,635 cases is relatively low, but this shows a growing trust and acceptance from the people on the function and existence of the IPCC," he said.
