It is still too early to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate allegations into the existence of a cartel within the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM), says Deputy Home Minister I Ismail Mohamed Said (photo, above).
He said everything was still under control, and so far the Home Ministry has not received any list of individuals allegedly involved in the activity.
"We don't even know the number (of individuals involved) yet... it's still too early for an RCI.
"If there are allegations and there is a basis, it can be brought to the Police Force Commission (SPP) first, and if it involves junior police officers it can be brought to the Integrity and Standard Compliance Department (JIPS)," Ismail said after attending the ministry’s Malaysia Prihatin programme at the Kampung Temin Mosque in Jerantut, Pahang, yesterday evening.
He was asked about calls from several parties, including non-governmental organisations, for an RCI to be set up to investigate the statement by Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador claiming that there was a cartel within the police force.
On Tuesday, Hamid was reported to have said that several individuals involved in a cartel trying to topple him had been identified.
Without revealing their names, Hamid said the issue was still under control and under his supervision, and he also expressed confidence that those involved could not ‘move’ at the moment.

Hello menteri tidur, indiscipline is a serious matter and of paramount important in all set ups. What too "early and under control" rubbish? Is this is how PDRM work? Small wonder Alongs, drugs, gambling, prostitutions, gangsterism and other underground activities and trades are flourishing because PDRM never serious. All taikos are laughing their way to the banks. No thanks to our ever clueless, sleeping ministers and a complacent PDRM. Note: The Sulu invaders case in Sabah years back, is a very good example, Do not treat them as friends and offer them shelters. Do not wait until life is lost. It will be too late!
