The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has resolved 31 cases involving Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) personnel and taken action against them since the commission was gazetted in September 2009.
“Certain parties consider the number as small but they must understand that although the EAIC was established in 2009 it only started full operations in 2012,” Deputy Home Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar (right) said after an interview on Bernama TV’s Hello Malaysia, last night.
Wan Junaidi also emphasised that the commission was an independent entity entrusted with investigating breach of integrity in enforcement agencies and did not in any way hamper the police from discharging their duty.
He further remarked that a shortage of staff and lack of branches in every state posed a disadvantage for the commission which needed to be addressed immediately if EAIC is expected to be more effective.
“One of our advantages however, is that we do not have to wait for a report before acting. For example, if we hear of a death in a police lock-up we can just go there directly and start an inquiry,” he said.
