So What with Royal Commission?

Today, we learn yet another doctrinal disaster.

The Parliament unveils the much awaited Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

But, what the Royal Commission had recommended was not that was presented. Instead, the Independent Complaint Commission has now being modified, altered, substituted, amended, added and omitted, and has become no more IPCMC but SCC, ie Special Complaints Commission.

It is something entirely different from what was recommended by the Royal Commission and something creative and innovative that pleases the police and makes the minister popular for himself, and his colleagues. They now celebrate because the parliament consists of YESMEN and they can pass any law, make any law, as they wish. That's the parliament we had, we had chosen, we chose to elect them there with the 92% majority, such that we stand at their perils. We deserve what we sow, we reap what we sowed.

So, what's the point of having a Royal Commission?

Why make noise about whether it is Royal Commission or merely Commission of Inquiry?

Tun Dzaiddin said he was "VERY DISAPPOINTED" that the proposed SCC was not what the 2005 Royal Commission had recommended. It was entirely different.

Cakap tak serupa bikin.

Setting up Royal Commission is but for fun? It stills goes back to the minister to creatively redraft something that satisfy their own needs and then make it as law? And then punish the victim? Let's celebrate the arrival of Tengku Goh Doctrine.


Didn't the PM said he was Duty-Bound to act?

Wasn't he duty bound to act according to the Royal Commission?

Then why the need for royal commission if their recommendations will never be followed.

The cabinet pick and choose, or is it the minister-in-charge pick and choose the part and then jig-sawed the other parts from elsewhere to framed-up the new silent commission?

Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye:

"The IPCMC was meant to be independent body to deal with police misconduct. I did not expect it to be watered down."

Tunku Abdul Aziz:

"...If the new bill is watered down, obviously we are not going to achieve this purpose."

Tengku Goh doctrine? watch your words, maverick coz you never know when you are suddenly linked to terrorism and the ISA be upon you.
by the way, who is this tengku goh. must be some important fella coz the police had work hard to prove that the findings by another police branch was fabricated. what a way to get him out of restricted residence. well, he deserves to be free if the earlier police findings are false anyway.

mental jog

let's continue to push for IPCMC!

the SCC is entirely different from IPCMC lah!

Gukita said...

I thought a shackled press wouldnt report Tun Dzaiddin's statement; very damagingis it not?.. How wrong can I be.. :-)

Maverick SM said...

Agree. But I think the Press don't have a choice as there are alternative medias who would if they didn't. So, what was written in the main media is but the minimum. His full statement should be far more.

Maverick SM said...

ycg,

You must be Nazri's fan...LOL!

Lucia,

IPCMC is dead! Let it be cremated. Let's get on with life.

Gukita said...

Mave,
Since when do Press publish any news because alternative media would have it in theirs? Minimal reporting is more dangerous; people would assume the worst; your post just prove the point; "His full statement SHOULD be far more"..

Gukita said...

If enough people show concern through enough channel, IPCMC could still be a reality. Forgive me for still having even slightest of hope in rotten wood.

The last Panel almost out of sight
so appointment of last cannot be alright!
Government appointment lost further credibility to write!

All judiciary system cannot go beyond Human Rights
and involved many people their daily life.
why no consideration from Human Rights of the Bar
or people practicing Human Rights
http://malikimtiaz.blogspot.com/2007/11/hakam-press-statement-royal-commission.html
should Professionalism be out of the sight?

Appointing guys in questions to a SCC instead of a RCI?
Then should PM and MP alike?
CM, MIC, MCA, MCC with same light?
Click the coins to have the bill paid!
When Smell is delivered instead of steak in a plate!

Housing Board instead of Strata Title Board
played STA on housing bought!
Wisdom or what?

LAUGHING WITH TEARS IN THE HEARTS!

Gukita,

I am not a doomsayer; but I firmly believed the HOPE is lost in its entirety until a next crisis which is far insidious happens, for the next course of consideration to take place. We need to be more corrupt, maybe, it should be universal within all the communities and involving everyone, to justify the administration's dogmas.

Maverick SM said...

Sharing,

I had no tears; I adopt and adapt, and continue to live the last few years of my life in tranquility.

Hope is an illusion and the next general election would be the criteria of change.

This is like boiling a pot of soup kambing with a small piece of tulang kambing and lots of MSG and then offering it to the customers who expect the delicious thick broth from the mamak's sup kambing menu.

Tears had stopped as it is running out of stock!
But fears have started with ISA in many spots!
Tranquility in life with stiff looks?
With mocks to remind the heart not to stop!
Devil and God in one soul cannot be talked?

Political needs the mentalities to plot.
GE cannot change the thought
without equality and fairness in the same pot to cook.

A tree in the gusty wind
A whiz or a breeze?
Is tree shaky
in the darkness of the night?
To be seen or tell?
