THE Malaysian Bar commends and supports the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Abdul Hamid Bador’s recent statement, as reported in the media, that he “(takes) responsibility in ensuring the police will get the best outcomes from all aspects while the public will feel protected and will get the best service from the setting up of the IPCMC (Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission)”.
Abdul Hamid’s expression of support for the establishment of the IPCMC is significant, positive and encouraging. It is our fervent hope that the IGP’s leadership in this respect will herald a new dawn of police accountability, and of public confidence in the PDRM.
