MADPET (Malaysians Against Death Penalty and Torture) is appalled by the decision of the Pakatan Harapan-led government to abolish the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) vide the proposed Independent Police Complaints of Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) 2019 Bill.

Section 51 of the new Bill states, “The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission Act 2009 [Act 700] (the “repealed Act”) is repealed and the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (the “dissolved Commission”) is dissolved.” (At bit.ly/new_act.)
