COMMENT The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) rose to infamy recently with the slew of death-in-custody cases in Malaysia, once again rallying public outcry for the setting up of the Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

Minister in the Prime Minister's Ddepartment who is in charge of integrity and corruption, Paul Low, was quick to tout the EAIC as if it is the IPCMC we never had, reportedly saying that "we don't need another independent police oversight body" because the EAIC is actually the IPCMC.
