Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), M. Kulasegaran, has called for improvements to the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) following the Durian Tunggal shooting, in which three criminals were killed after one of them attacked a policeman with a machete at an oil palm plantation.
00:00This is the theme of the family of the three victims.
00:09I share their sorrows.
00:14But what has been happening is one thing that cannot be accepted.
00:19That's because when the IPCC was released for three or four years ago,
00:27we said that the IPCC is a very watered-down version of what we wanted.
00:37What we have had is that they can only investigate misconduct, not criminal investigation.
00:45So, I see that we need to be accepted by the acta.
00:50There cannot be one person to be the judge, jury and prosecutor.
01:03Today, we have the judge and jury doing the same work.
01:07People have hesitation to lodge reports against police themselves.
01:12There must be more openness and the whole of the militia is grieving what has happened and the slowness in action.
01:21I hope the necessary amendments are done to this IPCC as soon as possible.
01:28I'm a member of parliament for Jibo Barat and those two of these, three were killed and two of them come not very far from my hometown in Sitiawan.
01:45The families of others have contacted me.
01:47I feel very strong.
01:49Itulah sebab saya sendiri datang dan mengatakan bahawa, seperti yang dikatakan bahawa jawatan kuasa ini perlu transparent,
02:02perlu be open supaya semua perkara yang disiasat ini dapat membawa manfaat yang tertentu.
02:11The most important is the public confidence on government institutions.
02:15And I think today, we are in a situation where many Malaysians are questioning it.
02:23We are uncomfortable with the authorities.
02:25We hope the necessary action is done to ratify this as soon as possible.
02:29Dr. Shri, as a member of parliament, what's your hope, involvement, federal government, involved dalam kes ni, apa yang harapan?
02:37Bagaimana peranan mereka?
02:38No, if you remember, when we were in opposition, we always wanted an act of parliament, which not only look at misconduct, but also criminal investigation.
02:49There must be, so many cases I've done around the country.
02:52It's not only, I've spoken and I've done both in court and outside court.
02:56We always feel that, how can you go to the wrongdoer, or perceive wrongdoer, to complain?
03:03I feel uncomfortable.
03:05If I feel uncomfortable, what about the ordinary public?
03:08And I think that has to be settled.
03:11And I hope that will be ratified soon, or immediately.
03:15Parliament is sitting on the 19th of January.
03:19I hope by then something will happen.
03:22Will you brought up this issue in the parliament?
03:24Sorry?
03:24Will you brought up this issue in the parliament?
03:25No, no, no, no, there are many MPs discussing this matter.
03:30Obviously, I'll report back to them and see what can be done.
03:33But I think this has already happened.
03:36We need immediate action, ratifying action immediately.
03:39So that then only people have confidence in their public institutions.
03:42We need to hurry up to the security announcement.
03:43Because I don't believe that I've had enough funds to enter the
