"Syafiq went to have a look and found the front bumper of his Toyota Celica car which was parked by the road side near the restaurant being hit by the Proton Iswara.

"My two friends and I got on the motorcycles and went after the car, from Section 8 to Section 9 until the Bulatan Kayangan and to Persiaran Dato' Menteri where I fell off by the road side," he added.

He also said that the Proton Iswara car was driven at high speed and beat about six traffic lights along the way.

Hilly slope

Questioned how could he had fallen off the motorcycle, Lokman Hakim said that after entering Persiaran Dato'Menteri, the Proton Iswara car slowed down because of the hilly slope and he fell while trying to overtake the car.

"I cannot identify the driver's face, but based on the body size and hands, he was a male, about 17 years old, and the passenger beside him was also a male, thin, small-built and about the driver's age," he added.

Lokman Hakim, who is the 32nd witness, said he injured both hands and knees and sought medical treatment at a medical centre at Section 20 here before lodging a report at the Shah Alam police station at 3.30am the same day.

He said Mohd Izham was also one of the patrol policemen who went after Aminulrasyid on the date of the incident.

Madi, who is the 26th prosecution witness, said he had given a HK MP5 submachine gun with four magazines containing 100 rounds of ammunition to Mohd Izham to carry out patrol duty last April 25, but only received 90 bullets when Mohd Izham returned them the following day.

"When returning the weapon, Mohd Izham said he had fired several shots, but was not sure how many. I counted the remaining bullets and found there were lesser by 10 from the 100 I gave earlier," he added.
