KUALA LUMPUR - The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has recommended the establishment of a specific standard operating procedure (SOP) on the use and storage of body camera recordings by Immigration Department officers and personnel conducting enforcement operations. The EAIC said the recommendation to the Immigration director-general was aimed at ensuring transparency in the execution of duties and preventing any future allegations from the public. "The implementation of this SOP is important to ensure the integrity and accountability of the enforcement agency, as well as to strengthen public confidence in the agency,' the EAIC said in a statement today. According to the statement, the EAIC received a complaint regarding allegations of rough treatment by Kuala Lumpur Immigration officers against an individual during an enforcement operation on June 25 last year. Following this, an investigation was conducted under subsection 27(4) of the EAIC Act 2009. The EAIC said the investigation found that the body camera recording could not be retrieved as the data was stored for only 30 days, while the closed-circuit television (CCTV) recording at the location could not be obtained as the CCTV equipment had been disconnected immediately after the raid. According to the statement, all Kuala Lumpur Immigration officers and personnel involved in the operation had given statements denying any rough treatment or assault against the individual concerned. "Based on the statements, the complainant was unable to recognise or identify any officer or personnel alleged to have acted roughly. "The police investigation paper opened in connection with this incident was classified as No Further Action by the Deputy Public Prosecutor,' the statement said. - BERNAMA

Health Ministry CKAPS officers face disciplinary action for inefficiency
PUTRAJAYA: The Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) has recommended disciplinary action against two Private Medical Practice Control Section (CKAPS) officers under the Health Ministry for weaknesses in feedback management and delays in completing an investigation paper. The commission said it had received complaints about CKAPS officers in Putrajaya and Melaka who were alleged to have failed to respond to an application for the release of seized items. It then carried out an investigation under subsection 27(4) of the EAIC Act 2009, the commission said in a statement on Friday (July 25). "The investigation found that the officer in Putrajaya failed to provide any feedback regarding the application for the release of seized items submitted by the complainant. "It also found delays by the investigating officer from Melaka in completing the investigation paper in accordance with the standard operating procedure (SOP) for cases involving healthcare facilities and services,' it said. EAIC said the delays had disrupted the investigation process and resulted in the case taking an unreasonably long time to conclude. As such, the commission decided to refer the findings to the ministry's CKAPS authority, recommending that disciplinary action be taken against the officers involved. The recommendation falls under Regulation 38 of the Public Officers (Conduct and Discipline) Regulations 1993, for inefficiency or lack of effort as provided for under Regulation 4(2)(e) of the same regulations. – Bernama
