Be open on Aminulrasyid shooting probe, police told
SIBU, May 2 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak wants the investigations into the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah to be carried out in an open and transparent manner.
“We cannot be defensive,” Najib said, “the public wants answers.”
“I am sure that the police will fully co-operate and provide some satisfaction to the victim’s family who wants to know what actually happened,” he told reporters after attending a luncheon and presenting Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medals to 32 armed forces veterans from Sarawak at Rascom Camp at the Ninth Infantry Brigade in Jalan Ulu Oya near here today.
Aminulrashid was fatally hit in the 2am incident on Monday when police opened fire after he allegedly reversed the car he was driving into police officers while trying to escape a road block in Section 11, Shah Alam.
Asked if Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan should step down over the incident, he said he did not think it was right to call for the IGP’s resignation because of a single incident he was not directly responsible for.
He said the public should look into the issue fairly and not make hasty conclusions or resort to blaming the authorities without knowing what actually happened. — Bernama
