The Malaysian police force seems to be more concerned with the loss of political power by the ruling party (read Umno) than the people not getting efficient police service, in its deliberation on the proposed Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC).

In a special bulletin posted on its official website, the police launched an all out attack against the IPCMC. Among the reasons of objection given, most of which are wild assertions unfounded on facts and logic, the police hammer on the point that perhaps strikes closest to the heart of Umno - the police claim that Umno will lose political power if IPMC is implemented.

Under the subheading 'Rationale for rejecting IPCMC', the police give nine reasons for its objection, and the third one is stated as erosion of political power by the ruling party.
