COMMENT | Indira and Ong are reminders of why we need IPCMC

“The road to justice is paved with the defiance of those who refuse to accept the status quo.” – Frank Serpico

COMMENT | Recent public statements by M Indira Gandhi and Ong Ing Keong are further evidence (as if anyone needed more) that this country is desperately in need of an IPCMC.

Both statements are not only damaging to the state security apparatus but more importantly to the political class which has enabled, coddled and sanctioned the well-documented excesses of the state security apparatus.

For over a decade, the Royal Malaysia Police have done everything in their power by their inaction to keep Indira’s child away from her and have legitimised the action of a child kidnapper through their own action or inaction.

Think about this for a moment. The state security apparatus has ignored judgments from the judicial branch and has let a child kidnapper escape the course of justice.

And why do you think this is?
