malaysiakini on the PM's PROBLEM

I wonder why the "Cops livid being targeted by IPCMC" as suggested by this malaysiakini article PM to face even bloodier battle with SCC Bill.
To put things in the correct perspective, the Royal Commission was held after it was discovered that the police had forced a "Chinese woman" to perform nude squats and the film was shown on You-Tube. After a Minister's hasty trip to China to apologise, it was discovered the victim was a Malaysian
Apart from the commission that recommended better discipline via the IPCMC that was rejected by the police, those responsible did not face any major corrective action.
Instead the government "chickened out" from disciplining the police who appear to have the upper hand as pay and perks were increased substantially as recommended by the Inquiry but the more important and fundamental control elements were omitted.
This is a major failure of the government.

Perhaps too many top leaders are working in cahoots with the police and there is the perception that it is not the police for Malaysians but police for BN leaders.
After all there is the ongoing murder trial of the murdered Mongolian woman who was allegedly blown up by members of an elite team.

The big mistake the PM made was not to implement the IPCMC when all the service conditions were improved like better pay, allowance and housing.
Based on this alone, this government has lost its moral authority to govern.
