History

The modern police force in Malaya and Malaysia started in 25 March 1807 when a police force was established in Penang. Most of the officers were of British origin. Soon, several similar organizations were introduced to the Straits Settlements and other Malay states, particularly to the Federated Malay States. These organizations, however, were not integrated and were independent of each other. This changed after World War II; police forces all across Malaya were streamlined and placed under a single administration. That administration was known as the Civil Affair Police Force and was headed by H.B. Longworthy.

Police brutality

There were continued reports of excessive use of force by police officers during peaceful demonstrations. In March and May 2007 police armed with shields violently dispersed a series of peaceful protests in Kuala Lumpur against fuel prices, with batons and water cannon. Several people were reported seriously injured and dozens arrested. All were subsequently released.

There was still concern over the effectiveness of safeguards to ensure the safety and well-being of detainees in police custody. At least five people, including one woman, died in custody during 2007.

Wanted Lists & Rewards

Although Wanted Lists are already in existence, there is a public feeling that they could be used more extensively to both solve and deter crime. Apart from being placed more prominently both inside and outside police stations, they could be placed in all post offices, local and long-distance bus terminuses, taxi terminuses, airport waiting lounges, outside public lavatories, government and private hospitals and clinics, government and private schools, public park entrances, shopping malls, public phone kiosks, etc. These should be updated at least on a quarterly basis. Special Wanted Lists with greater detail than those on posters could be given to bus drivers and conductors, bus ticket sales counterstaff, retail travel agents, toll booth staff, domestic airline cabin crew, supermarket checkout staff, petrol station staff, hotel and restaurant staff, canteen drinks stall staff, shopping mall reception and security staff, public attraction staff, private security firm staff, etc who could act as additional eyes and ears for the police. Larger financial incentives should be advertised as being offered to those helping police with their investigations.

Complaints Commission

Non-governmental organizations continued to press the government to create an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC). In 2005 a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the police had recommended a wide range of reforms, including the establishment of an IPCMC by May 2006. Draft legislation to establish an IPCMC remained under consideration by the Attorney General at the end of the year. A range of other reform recommendations, including repeal or review of laws allowing for detention without trial or requiring police permits for public assemblies, were not implemented.

Proposed Decentralisation and Federal Police Bureau

Due to heavy public criticism of lack of police professionalism including in incidents of high profile murder cases and in the inability to deter crime, there have been some proposals for reform and restructuring of the Royal Malaysia Police. Some have suggested restructuring along U.S. lines with State police forces and a Federal Police Bureau similar to the FBI. In Johor for example there could be a Johor State Police set up and in Pahang there could be a Pahang State Police. The police force in the Federal Territory of Labuan could simply be "Labuan Police", whilst the police force in the capital could be "KL City Police". Since there would be the need for cross-state pursuit, this could be handled by the "Highway Police" who would cross state lines although there could also be provisions for State Police to cross state lines in hot pursuit. There should of course still remain a degree of integration and co-operation between each State police force. Another suggestion is the word "Royal" be dropped not only because members of Malaysian royal families are not keen to be associated with the incompetencies or lack of professionalism of some members of the police force but because the adjective detracts or is non-descriptive of the role, duties and responsibilities of the police in Malaysia. The police in any case are answerable to the public rather than to any of the royal families. The most important issue might be who polices the police and efforts to hold errant members of the police force to account. Each force could have a Police Complaints Bureau and an Accountability Committee with lay members which might include lawyers, ex-lawyers and ex-judges.
