IGP welcomes IPCC, says previous concerns and objections addressed

Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador says he is satisfied with the government's proposed Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) and believes it will be able to hold police officers accountable.

Tabled as a bill for its first reading in the recent Dewan Rakyat sitting, the IPCC has been criticised as a watered-down version of its predecessor - the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) Bill 2009.
