KUALA LUMPUR – His Excellency the Governor of Sarawak, Tun Pehin Sri Dr Haji Wan Junaidi bin Tuanku Jaafar, today welcomed a delegation from the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) at his official residence in the capital. The courtesy call, which took place at 3.00 pm, was led by IPCC Chairman Datuk Zolkopli bin Dahalan.
The delegation included Deputy Chairperson Martina @Kartina binti Zamhari, alongside Commission Members Dato’ Shukri bin Abdullah, Dato’ Othman bin Yusoff, Dato’ Kennedy Jawan, Dato’ Haji Alias bin Salim, and Tuan Haji Ruslan bin Atan.
Their visit was aimed at strengthening institutional ties and providing updates on the commission’s progress since its establishment in 2023.
During the meeting, Datuk Zolkopli outlined the commission’s role as an independent oversight body tasked with enhancing the integrity, accountability, and professional conduct of the Royal Malaysian Police.
He emphasised that the IPCC’s mandate is designed to reinforce public confidence in law enforcement institutions by ensuring transparency and adherence to legal provisions.
The governor expressed his appreciation for the commission’s efforts, noting the importance of maintaining strong governance and integrity within the country’s policing system.
He conveyed gratitude to the delegation for their continued commitment to improving standards and accountability, highlighting that such initiatives are vital for the well-being of the nation.
Tun Pehin Sri also voiced his hope that the IPCC would continue to operate with professionalism and transparency, ensuring that its work benefits the people and contributes to national stability.
His remarks underscored the broader significance of independent monitoring bodies in safeguarding democratic values and strengthening institutional trust.
The IPCC, which has been operational for nearly three years, was established to provide impartial oversight of police conduct.
Its creation followed calls for greater accountability within law enforcement, and it has since worked to address complaints, review procedures, and recommend reforms.
The commission’s presence in Kuala Lumpur today reflects its ongoing efforts to engage with leaders and stakeholders across Malaysia.
This meeting adds to the governor’s series of engagements in the capital, reinforcing Sarawak’s active role in national governance.
The exchange between the governor and the IPCC delegation highlights the importance of collaboration between state leadership and federal institutions in advancing integrity and public trust.
