The parents should be held responsible !

Neighbours’ anger over trigger-happy cops

By Neville Spykerma

SHAH ALAM, April 28 — Neighbours who knew Aminulrasyid Amzah today could not contain their emotions as they expressed outrage over his shooting by police.

The Form Three student was driving his sister’s Proton Iswara and is alleged to have attempted to ram a police road-block in Section 11 here, before the fatal shooting occurred early Monday morning.

“This is not Manchester or Los Angeles, this is bloody Malaysia,” said Nadzimuddin Pip, who added the police should have been better trained to differentiate between criminals and boys.

The retiree, along with businessman Wan Rahim Tajuddin, whose house in Section 11 is exactly at the spot where the Proton Iswara eventually crashed, said they had initially assumed police has scored a major success against a criminal.

“His body was lying face down in the car and surrounded by police. We didn’t realise it was Aminul until the next day,” said Wan Rahim, who broke down as he spoke.

He said Aminul was a close friend of his son, and expressed regret they did not have a chance to see the dead teenager’s face.

The men were relating the incident to MPs Lim Guan Eng, Lim Kit Siang and Dr Lo’Lo’ Mohd Ghazali at the scene of the incident in Section 12 this afternoon.

Kit Siang earlier led a delegation of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmakers to Aminulrasyid’s home where they spoke and expressed their condolences to his mother Norsiah Mohamad, 60.

Norsiah said contrary to press reports, her son was only 14 and not 15-years-old.

Kit Siang wants to know why boy was shot from the back

Politics and the death of a school-boy

APRIL 30 — Aminulrasyid Amzah is barely buried, and already the political knives are out, with both Umno and Pakatan Rakyat clamouring for the right to champion justice for him and his family. Naturally, the ostensibly non-partisan folk are coming out of the woodwork to sternly warn against “politicising” the death of this 14-year-old boy.

Let's debate :

If there were worst politicians in this country I would give the medal of honour to Pakatan leaders for their lack of social etiquette, unashamedly politicising the incident to their own advantage without giving due consideration to the feelings of the family members of the deceased.It's about time these uncouth and uncultivated politicians learn to differentiate what politics and what are acceptable social behaviour. How we should react in time of grief and bereavement, particularly other people's grief. They are turning people's grief to fish for votes :

Lets take a look at the first pic . Why is the Father and son Guan Eng there when he has other more important duties to perform as the Chief Mininster of Penang ? or is he the Cheap Minister of Penang ? Until today the saying goes , Penang is on auto pilot because the CM is always not in Penang , either in parliament , KL , Malacca , Perak or on issues like these when he still thinks he is Mr Opposition . Penangites should send him a strong message come next GE . He could have left this to others within his PR grouping and not be involved unless he is fishing for votes at the expense of the police .

There are many unanswered questions :

a) Why would the parents of the boy not aware that he is still not in bed and not at home at that material time ?
b) what is he doing in the middle of the night at 2am in the morning ?
c ) why is he not in bed when he has school the next day ?
d) why is he a form three student driving his sister’s Proton Iswara without a license ?
e) why didin't he stop at a police road-block in Section 11 ?
f ) why did he attempted to ram a police road-block ?
g) why did he attempt to run away when police fired warning shots ?
h) the police claim he was trying to reverse his car into the officers pursuing him, so they had no choice but to fire , why did he do that ?
i) Kit Siang wants to know why boy was shot from the back ! If you are driving a car and reversing to ram police from the back , do you expect the him to be shot from the front ?when you are standing from the back of the car ?
The parents of the boy should be held responsible for their son's untimely death due to lack of parental control !

Put yourself in the policeman situation .

You have a guy driving a car attempting to ram you by reversing . Its dark since it is 2am . Do you think the policeman would be able to distinguish the driver as a 14 yr old school boy ? or as a wanted criminal attempting to get away at all cost ? unless of course he advertises himself , hey don't shoot I am only 14 . There are 14 yr old who look like adults and adults who look like school boys ( midgets and dwarfs ) . Do you think the policeman would have shot him if he had not attempted to ram them ? So who is to be blamed ? If you are the policeman with a family , would you shoot if you think your life is in danger ? Its either him or me , so I'll shoot first asks questions later . A vehicle can be used as a weapon, a weapon doesn’t mean that it is only a gun, knife or parang. If you refuse to stop and try to plough the officers who are trying to stop you, it can be a weapon because it becomes a danger to the lives of enforcement officers,”

Justice must be seen to be not only to the boy but also to the policeman who fired the shot and who put their lives in danger in the line of duty .

So politicians stay out and let the police do their work !
