Getting a confession from a suspect is normally the beginning of a tragic chain of events.
| In Malaysia, one has been hearing the cases of death in custody for a very long time, especially in police lock-ups. Unfortunately, nowadays, the incidents of death in custody have risen to a crescendo.
Any authority which is empowered by our law to detain and incarcerate any person in a custody has to keep this in mind this - such a vast power comes along with it a very heavy responsibility. In fact, this responsibility trumps everything else. By subscribing to this embedded principle, any detainee ought to be treated humanely, irrespective of the severity of the purported crime or crimes allegedly linked to such a detainee.
Hence, these elements seem to be very happpy to opt for the easiest way for their evidence-gathering exercise. A confession from the suspect is normally chosen as their primary option. Since the police are entrusted to oversee and protect the safety and security of any detainee in their custody, it is high time to have a special commission to oversee the police too.
Having duly completed all the necessary engagements, the government was determined to proceed with the second reading in Parliament.
