“There is a lot more for us to do and we have yet to decide on our suggestions on the standard operating procedures for discharging firearms.
“We are not sure how long it is going to take for us to list out the conclusive report on our findings and suggestions.” Abu Seman said the panel had already submitted the preliminary report on the issue to the cabinet on Wednesday but declined to reveal its contents.
“So far we are pleased with the investigation off icer’s weekly reports to us but there are still some inconsistencies that we need to sort out.
“We have already highlighted this to the police and asked them to further investigate as we do not want the public to think there is any form of a cover-up,” he said after meeting with the panel members at the ministry here yesterday.
Abu Seman said the police were currently doing a gunpowder test to dispute contradicting reports made by Aminulrasyid’s friend Azamuddin Omar, 15, who escaped the shooting.
Azamuddin, at a recent news conference, had said police had fired several shots at their car and kept shooting until the car hit a wall.
He had also said the police had then kicked him in the head when he crawled out of the car to surrender himself.

PUTRAJAYA: The special committee looking into the fatal shooting of 14-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah said it was still too early for them to submit their suggestions on the use of firearms under the Inspector-General’s Standing Orders (IGSO).
Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop, who heads the panel, said yesterday there were still many issues that the panel must deliberate.
He said despite Corporal Jenain Subi being charged in the court with Aminulrasyid’s death, the panel still had to continually monitor and ensure the force was taking adequate measures against its officers involved in the shooting.
