To a supplementary question from Anwar Ibrahim (PKR-Permatang Pauh), he said the Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission set up on April 1, last year was sufficient to investigate complaints of misconduct of enforcement personnel in the country.
On March 25, 2008, then-prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi announced that the IPCMC draft bill was ready to be presented to the cabinet before being tabled in parliament. But it was deferred as parliament was dissolved that year to make way for the 12th general election.Anwar had asked whether the government would set up the IPCMC to enhance police integrity, especially in the face of allegations of misconduct by police personnel during the Bersih 3.0 rally.
Replying to Anwar’s original question on alleged police brutality on media personnel and the public during the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28, Mohamed Nazri said from video-recorded images and following investigations, two policemen were charged in the magistrate’s court on May 28 under Section 352 of the Penal Code for using criminal force on a Guanming Daily photographer at the Bersih 3.0 rally.
Replying to a supplementary question from Mohamed Aziz (BN-Sri Gading) who asked on the government’s action against those involved in the Bersih 3.0 fracas, Nazri said: “The Attorney-General’s Chambers has given an assurance that it would take action against them”.
“We are colour blind, whoever flouts the law... if we have solid evidence, we will bring the Permatang Pauh MP (Anwar) and Gombak MP Azmin Ali) to court,” he said.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister II Ahmad Husni Hanadzlah said as at last month, Syarikat Perumahan Negara Berhad (SPNB) had completed 17,790 people-friendly houses (RMR) nationwide.
“SPNB has built 474 RMR units in Sarawak and is in the process of building another 110 units,” he said in reply to Tiong King Sing (BN-Bintulu).
