The originally proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission is the only way to restore the people’s confidence in our police force.
OVER the years, recurrent reports of abuses, including violence against detainees and deaths in custody, have marred the reputation of our police force. The alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl in a police station lockup recently has the sullied image further.
The girl lodged a report last Saturday, a week after she was raped by a youth while she was locked up in the Miri central police station in Sarawak. Details of the report are indeed shocking.
