Malaysia's deputy police chief has defended the strip-search policy that caused public outcry when a woman was secretly filmed naked in police custody.
Musa Hassan, the deputy inspector general of police, said such strip-search procedures were also used by authorities in countries such as the United States and Australia to ensure that suspects were not concealing banned objects such as weapons and drugs.

Council Members Want Albany Po
Several members of the Albany Common Council are now calling for a state investigation of their own police department.
They say all that too often officers have violated the rights of citizens, and all too infrequently are those officers adequately disciplined.
So the Council President and five of the fifteen members are asking the State Commission of Investigation to examine recent cases, including that of officer Bill Bonani - who is the subject of a number of complaints.
"Officer Bonani, who has repeated offenses against him, continues to remain on the force and we the taxpayers get to keep paying for this officer," said Council member Carolyn McLaughlin (D).
Responding to the plans, Albany Police Chief Jim Tuffey said, "If there is an officer who is a bad apple, I will take care of him; but this maligns all of the good officers and I firmly believe in these police officers,"
Tuffey says that he has disciplined more cops in the two years that he's been in charge than ever before, and that crime has been down for that period too.
However, Council members say that there are simply too many complaints from Albany citizens.
