‘Setting up IPCMC not to punish any parties’

Recently I read an article in the Daily Express, Sabah about the setting up of IPCMC.

IPCMC is an independent body to replace the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) which has the role of receiving complaints and conducting investigations against police misconduct.

The important question to ask is if the officers in this new Agency – IPCMC - are the same as that of EAIC.

What changes are there going to be in IPCMC as compared to EAIC.

I was told that EAIC is an independent body and will deal with all complaints impartially without fear or favour. But, this is not the case as experienced by me.

Briefly, the Lions Club of Kota Kinabalu Host has used funds meant for the needy in buying air conditioners and did renovation for the club. They have also used club funds to entertain foreign guests on their visits to Kota Kinabalu. They have misused funds for more than 10 years.

The Club operated 3 bank accounts without the knowledge of most of the members for the sole purpose of siphoning out money for uses other than what they were meant for.

All the lawyers I had asked said without hesitation that this is criminal breach of trust.

Did the officers of EAIC act independently and with integrity? (EAIC stands for Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission.)

My complaint to EAIC was made on 21.5.2018 and after more than 6 months of investigation I received a letter on 5.12.2018 saying that the police had not erred in their investigation.

Either the officers at EAIC must be just plain naive or are influenced by the big names in the club.

How can the police and EAIC conclude that there was no Criminal Breach of Trust when I had clearly given them the names and account number of the bank accounts opened by a few privileged Past Presidents that were never disclosed to most members?

Here are extracts from the Internet on EAIC.

3 of the eight (8) main functions of the Commission as provided under subsection 4(1) and (2) of Act 700 are:

·         01 to receive complaints of misconduct from the public against an enforcement officer or against an enforcement agency in general and to investigate into and conduct hearing on such complaints;

·         ·  02 to formulate and put in place mechanisms for the detection, investigation and prevention of misconduct by an enforcement officer;

·         ·  03 to protect the interest of the public by preventing and dealing with misconduct of an enforcement officer;

However, if your complaint to the related agency is ignored or not followed up on, it isn’t a dead end. The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) is a government body that’s been set up to receive and investigate public complaints about any enforcement officers or agencies that misbehave. To make that clearer, it means that you can make a complaint against the police officer (enforcement officer) that asked you for a bribe or against the PDRM (agency) if you complained about the officer and they ignored you.

I had done just that and on 15.4.2019 requested for a face to face meeting with officers of EAIC so that I may be able to explain what these guys at EAIC don’t seem to understand but my request was turned down. AND we are told that they want as many complaints as possible and they will act with Integrity.

Because of the inaction of EAIC John Ho and Francis Liew have got big headed and have sued ROS using falsified information. They probably thought that if they can fool the police, EAIC and Minister of Home Affairs why not lie in the affidavit and hood wink the judge as well.

I have also made a police complaint on the lies in the affidavit and forwarded the message to EAIC.Let us see what comes of my complaint to EAIC and the Police.

The following is what I received in my inbox this morning and appears apt for this post.
