KUALA LUMPUR – Current oversight mechanisms are insufficient in cases that implicate law enforcement officers, said the Centre to Combat Corruption and Cronyism (C4 Centre).
Citing the case of Alvin Goh, who was recently apprehended after his escape during a transfer between the police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), C4 Centre said scam syndicates are tied to longstanding corruption.
“Upon further research, C4 Centre has unearthed new evidence that strongly suggests there is a nexus between Alvin Goh and members of law enforcement agencies,” the statement said.
They call into question the efficacy of the current Integrity and Standard Compliance Department and Police Force Commission in stamping out corruption in law enforcement.
C4 Centre also expressed disappointment with the apparently watered down Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) Bill presented in the last Parliament session.
“... (The bill will) not be able to address such complex cross border financial crimes involving cyber networks, enforcement officials, banks and influential personalities.”
C4 Centre said it wants to meet with Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador to present all relevant documents required for further action. – The Vibes, October 28, 2020
