SHAH ALAM : The police top
the list with the most number of public complaints among all enforcement
agencies, the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (SIAP) revealed today.
SIAP CEO Nor Afizah Hanum
Mokhtar said yesterday that since the commission's inception on April 1, 2011,
reports of police misconduct accounted for 120 of the 171 complaints filed by
the public.
"This is followed by
JPJ (Road Transport Department) with seven complaints, the Housing and Local
Government Ministry with seven, Customs with five, and Immigration with
five," Nor Afizah said, adding other agencies with complaints against them
included the National Registration Department (JPN) and civilian volunteer
corps Rela.
“Out of the 120 (police)
complaints, nine have been referred to the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption
Commission) and 15 have been referred to their own disciplinary board.”
SIAP chairman Datuk Heliliah
Mohd Yusof explained it was not under the commission’s jurisdiction to
prosecute offenders, but only to make recommendations to the respective
agencies.
“The process involved is
that we will receive these reports, then a select committee will look into it
before submitting it to the commission, which will then have another stage of
inquiry,” she said.
“After an investigation and
if we find a breach, we will then refer it to their respective department for
discipline,” she added.
If “recommendations are made
and no disciplinary action is taken”, Heliliah said her commission would “bring
the case up to the Attorney-General’s office”.
“The A-G must listen to us.
He cannot close the case,” she said.
“If he closes the case
without listening, it means the A-G is not doing his job” she added.
Heliliah said the
commission’s intention was to make offenders accountable for their action, “not
to prosecute”.
“The commission is to
provide an avenue for citizens to take action against enforcement officers who
do not uphold their duties,” she said, calling for “more to step up, including
those from the department itself”.
“When these people are bold
and brave enough to come forward, then only we will see results.”
Patut polis bagi contoh yang terbaik bukannya terlibat dengan perbuatan yang boleh mencemarkan nama mereka dan seluruh jabatan.
ReplyDeleteKerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga.
ReplyDeleteapa pun polis cuba memberikan perkhidmatan dalam mengawal keamaan dan keselamata awam.
ReplyDeleteTu sudah menjadi tanggungjawab polis.
DeleteKita harap pihak polis akan melakukan tanggungjawab mereka dan tidak akan menyalah gunakan kuasa yang ada.
ReplyDeleteKuasa yang ada jangan disalahgunakan untuk kepentingan sendiri.
Deletemana2 pihak yang anti polis, saya cadangkan mereka ambil alih la tugas2 polis.. tidak kira siang malam, cuti perayaan atau hari minggu, sentiasa bersedia turun kerja.. kalau ada perang antara Malaysia dan negara luar, mereka juga yang berada dibarisan hadapan, bukannya Anwar, Nik Aziz atau Lim Kit Siang..
