Malaysiakini : “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 the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

BluePanther4725 : From BN to PN and now PH/UG, no action is taken to help Indira reunite with her daughter. This shows the failure of the governments and the Police in upholding the Law. Will Malaysiakini ban this comment too?

Koel : The Ong case is frightening situation, suggesting hopeless corruption and intimidation at the heartof an agency that should be protecting citizens. There is no way an ordinary Malaysia can receive protection or justice if crooks are running the security apparatus.

IPCMC now, Saifudin Nasution. You have reneged on solemn promises made to the people and allowed for this rapid deterioration of this agency. You should be held accountable for this latest debacle.

Bersih, CSO Platform for Reform, international human rights bodies and all right minded people need to begin and sustain a campaign to clean up the police force in this country. It is already too late and this is urgent.

darmakochi : Commander you have said it very well. Hoping for some positive change in the present government we have landed with a worse political situation. Starting with the PM nobody in the government want to act when immediate action is required.

Simply buat taktahu and just hope for the best. The present mood is such, if a general election is held now, I doubt PH will return to power. Many NMs like me are very disillusioned with the present state of our political situation.
