00:00Minister, the purpose of establishing the IPCC is for the integrity and accountability of the police.
00:10And when it is established, it receives criticism because the IPCC only plays the role of investigating and giving suggestions.
00:19So to restore public confidence in the police,
00:25is there a suggestion from the ministry so that all these complaints are addressed in a general manner?
00:34Namely, what are the cases that have been received, what are the cases, what are the suggestions from the IPCC,
00:42what actions have been taken?
00:45And we can release the names of the police that have been accused to protect the police.
00:51But I feel that with such transparency, we can assure the public's confidence in the police.
00:58Why did I say that? Let me give you an example.
01:01Sosmah. Recently, a family member of Sosmah's family,
01:06he complained that Sosmah's family had been injured.
01:10And before this, the government said it would call all the police to wear body cameras with his permission.
01:18But until today, it has not been implemented.
01:20So to be fair, to the police and the police, are we ready to use this mechanism?
01:30And I would like to ask the minister, did Sosmah's family file a complaint to the IPCC?
01:38If so, what are their findings?
01:41Go ahead, Minister.
01:43Thank you, about Sosmah.
01:47The IPCC is currently negotiating with Tan Sri's office to allow,
01:51if there is no obstruction, I will make a statement, or a ministerial statement in this court,
01:57this week as well.
01:59So the city of Melaka can take that space later.
02:02I will give a comprehensive explanation about the current situation,
02:07and what is the future plan that the government is trying to achieve.
