Complaint To Police Media Centre If Unhappy With Police Investigations

KUALA LUMPUR, May 24 (Bernama) -- Police are advising parties who are dissatisfied with investigation reports against the force to submit their complaints to the Federal Police's (Bukit Aman) Police Public Relations Centre. Inspector-General of Police Secretariat (Public Relations) assistant head ACP Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said whether they were political parties or non-governmental organisations (NGO), they could submit their complaints to the media centre without having to meet the police's highest leadership. "To meet the police's top leadership, there is an appointment process which requires prior agreement between the two parties apart from complying with professional policing ethics. The parties cannot just meet up without an appointment," he told Bernama. He was commenting on the action by a group of People's Alliance Party (PKR) supporters led by the Member of Parliament for Teluk Intan, M. Manoharan, who insisted on handing over a memorandum to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ismail Omar, at noon at the Bukit Aman here on Thursday. The memorandum sought to dispute police's investigation on a fracas between People's Alliance Party (PKR) supporters and the Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) members in front of Putra Perdana Building, Putrajaya on May 2. Ramli said as the PKR group came without an appointment and wished to submit a memorandum, only the media centre could receive it but the PKR group insisted on handing it over to the IGP himself. "We also offered to Manoharan to meet Kuala Lumpur police chief Mohmad Salleh to submit the memorandum as the case in Putrajaya was under investigation by the police contingent concerned. But they refused," he said, adding that the PKR group finally handed over the memorandum to him. -- BERNAMA
