Home Minister backtracks on revisiting Royal Commission report on police

By Asrul Hadi Abdullah Sani

PUTRAJAYA, June 23 — Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein said the Home Ministry will come up with a new strategy to boost public confidence in the police force, instead of revisiting the 125 recommendations made by the Royal Commission's report on the police.

Two days ago, the Home Minister announced that he aims to enhance the image and operations of the force by revisiting the 125 recommendations made by the Royal Commission to enhance the operation and management of the Royal Malaysian Police in 2005.

The Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) was one of the key recommendations made by Royal Commission but was rejected by the police.

Hishammuddin was defensive when asked about IPMC and said it was unfair to target only the police.

“Why are we only looking at the police? That is totally unfair because it is sensational? Because it is something worth to write about?

“But there are a lot of things that you can write as far as KDN is concern and this is what I want to put the record straight within a very short period of time as I lead this ministry,” he said.

Hishammuddin was at Putrajaya International Convention Centre to hold a dialogue with Malaysian heads of mission at the 7th Heads of Missions conference.

The Home Ministry will also be setting up a new international division and research development division.

“The main thing is to ensure that whatever we do, we have to ensure the outcome to be internationally benchmarked. Just having output on paper will be meaningless, we need outcomes where the public can feel it," he explained.
