As long as the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) is not established, even implementing the remaining 124 recommendations of the Royal Commission to Enhance the Operation and Management of the Royal Malaysian Police will be seen as an unmitigated failure to reform the Malaysian police into a clean, efficient and trustworthy force.

The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) plays an integral part in the lives and well-being of 26 million ordinary Malaysians. This is reflected in PDRM's vision statement of 'PDRM as the lead enforcement agency in upholding the rule of law, maintenance of peace, public order and national security'.

There have been high public expectations that PDRM can put behind the abuses and actions of a few black sheep that have severely tarnished PDRM's image and finally come to grips with its primary duty of combating crime to make the streets of Malaysia safe.
