The police have "no problems" with Putrajaya's decision to morph the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) into the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

Deputy inspector-general of police Noor Rashid Ibrahim said the move will enhance the integrity and capabilities of the police.

He said the police welcomed the move and are interested to know how it would be implemented to ensure justice for all.

"Whatever the government, through the cabinet, decides, has taken the interest of all parties into consideration.

"We (police) have no problems with the implementation, but we will ensure that our members are looked after, while giving better service to the community," he said according to Bernama.

He added that he hoped Putrajaya would also consider the police's request for more funds, especially for training.

"This will increase PDRM’s efficiency to provide the best service to all parties," he said.

The IPCMC was among the key recommendation by the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police in 2005.

The commission, led by former chief justice Mohd Dzaiddin Abdullah, had drafted a bill to set up the IPCMC, but the Abdullah Ahmad Badawi-administration scuttled the plan.

Primarily, the government at the time was faced with protest from the police, citing, for instance, how the IPCMC bill did not allow for appeal.

Eventually, the Abdullah administration set up the EAIC, which covered all enforcement agencies.

Critics argued that the EAIC had been ineffective in rooting out police abuses and that it was a watered-down version of the IPCMC.
