malaysiakini and the DARK FORCES in MALAYSIA...

When the government launched the public inquiry on the Police after the "nude squat" incident 4 years ago, most Malaysians heaved a collective sigh of relief that finally the major problems would be resolved with the IPCMC.
Sadly the government backed off from implementing the important measures of the IPCMC but improved the terms and conditions of the police force.
Today's article in malaysiakini show that major probems still plague the PDRM. In the first example, Two nabbed for 'going to attend' vigil at the DAP headquarters to attend a candle-light vigil to mark the dark days of democracy in Perak.
In the second malaysiakini article Gobind: Where are Kugan's killers? the lawmaker asks what happened to the last case of a detainee being killed while in police detention.
These and other similar incidents show that some of the police officers are behaving more like the criminals they are supposed to be catching.
It looks like we NEED to change the government before we can bring changes to the PDRM.
Furthermore the IGP is now on extended contract service after his retirement. He has already had a major heart surgery and one wonders why the government does not promote the next qualified person to lead the force. Contract appointments should be limited to advisory roles and not more than one year duration.
