The EAIC said its new logo symbolises its sharpness and vigilance in monitoring misconduct.
PETALING JAYA : The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) today said it is introducing new mechanisms to monitor the progress of its probes and enhancing its standard operating procedures (SOPs) for investigations as part of the organisation's rebranding.
In a statement, the EAIC said it had conducted studies on the effectiveness of enforcement agencies under its purview and participated in field operations and consultations with stakeholders to better understand the issues faced by the agencies in question.
It said the rebranding marked the continuation of reforms which started last year, including the establishment of a special task force to investigate high-profile and public interest cases.
Such cases include the illegal disposal of electronic waste (e-waste), abuse of power in the issuance of medical visas, and a study to identify preventive measures for deaths in custody.
The EAIC also introduced a new logo, featuring elements of a tiger's eye and claw, meant to symbolise sharpness and vigilance in monitoring misconduct.
'This rebranding aims to clearly communicate the commission's mission to move forward as a leader in improving integrity, transparency, and public trust among enforcement agencies,' it said.
The EAIC is a federal statutory body under the Prime Minister's Department, established in 2011 to monitor, investigate, and report on misconduct by personnel from enforcement agencies.
It also handles public complaints about misconduct in enforcement agencies such as the police, immigration department, and road transport department.
