A media briefing was held to release the eleventh issue of the IPCC Newsletter. Mr Jat Sew-Tong (Chairman) and Mr Daniel Mui (Deputy Secretary-General) presented the highlights of the IPCC’s latest publicity initiatives. These included the setting up of an IPCC Channel on YouTube and a collaboration with Now TV to produce an interactive TV programme named The IPCC Perspective. Both are efforts to develop the IPCC’s social media presence to enhance public awareness. Moreover, Mr Daniel Mui detailed a complaint case in which a complainant had found cash at a bank’s automated teller machine (ATM) and filed a “Found Property” report at a police station. This case identified room for improvement in police procedures when dealing with similar cases, and highlighted the IPCC’s statutory function in advising on police procedures with a view to preven the recurrence of similar complaints.
