The new draft of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) Bill should be released for public consultation before being tabled in Parliament, a stakeholders group said today.
Bar Council IPCMC taskforce co-chairperson M Ramachelvam said there were various suggestions made based on the original 2005 IPCMC draft bill, which could then be compared to the current one being prepared by the Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC).
“We understand the IPCMC Bill is being finalised by the government.
"Our call upon the government is that before the bill is tabled in Parliament, let the relevant consultation be held, with the Bar Council, civil society and other stakeholders," said Ramachelvam after a stakeholders roundtable meeting at the Bar Council building in Kuala Lumpur this morning.
