He took the floor after attending a forum entitled "Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Review Commission (IPCMC): Leading the Police Service Excellence" at college attended by senior police officers from across the country.

Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad, the Tunisian Prime Minister, announced on September 22 that the IPCMC would replace the IEEC and act as an independent body to investigate complaints against the police in a more comprehensive manner.
