Simple question....simple answer.......No.
(edit)
Having just re-read your questions.....you must have a PPL before you do the CPL IR
The PPL course and CPL is not the same. It looks the same, but it's not.
Can't help you with the LATC though

Are you in Malaysia?
If so, according to:
http://www.mfa.edu.my/courses.html#CPL/IR
under the heading of CPL/IR Synopsis:
"A successful completion of this course along with DCA's and the United Kingdom Department of Civil Aviation's (UKCAA) theory examinations results in a Private Pilot Licence, a Commercial Pilot Licence and an Instrument Rating."
I did my CPL/IR as a cadet with an Asian airline, not at MFA, and I did not need a PPL either.
In other words, if you do an integrated CPL/IR course, successful completion will earn you a CPL/IR which includes the priveleges of a PPL.
You don't need a PPL in such cases to enrol in the CPL/IR course.
Suggest you contact LATC yourself about being a private candidate.

Maybe this is the case; you can enroll for an INTEGRATED CPL course without holding a PPL (what I did, btw).
But, if you mean CPL/IR as the older modular course, then the answer is "no, you can't".
So, at least in a JAA/CAA environment, what you should really care about is whether the school you're dealing with is offering an "integrated" course or not.
The syllabus is specific for each approved course, so the one for the modular CPL is likely not to deal with the PPL skills.
While the syllabus for an integrated course is supposed to cover every aspect from scratch.
When you get to talk with a school, make sure they're certified for the course you're picking, and maybe ask them to show you their syllabi
