Look into my mother's eyes and apologise, Jenain told

Aisyah, the sister of 15-year-old Aminulrasyid Amzah who was shot dead by police, has called on Corporal Jenain Subi, the officer who fired the shots, to personally meet her mother and apologise.

"We want Jenain (left) to come to our house and apologise to our mother, that is all. We have forgiven him, we are not angry.

"But we want him to come, look at her, face-to-face, and tell her what had actually happened. How could he fire 21 bullets at my brother?

"We want to know what was going through his mind that he would do such thing," Aisyah said at a press conference in Shah Alam today.

This comes after Jenain publicly apologised to the family for Aminulrasyid's death after he was on Wednesday acquitted by the Shah Alam High Court for causing the boy's death.

Asked about the apology, a teary Norsiah Mohamad, Aminulrasyid's mother, had replied: "I only knew about this from the newspapers, not from his own mouth. He only said it to the reporters, he did not look into my eyes and say it."

Norsiah (below) said her family was shocked by the court's decision and urged the attorney-general to appeal against Jenain's acquittal.

"They let him (Jenain) off so easily, as if it was all my son's fault, that he was a criminal.

"He (my son) only drove without a license, was it necessary to spray 21 bullets at him? Five of the bullets hit the back windscreen... As a mother I cannot accept this, I am very disappointed (at the court's decision)," she said.

Aminulrasyid died from a gun shot wound to the head in 2010 after police open fired on his vehicle for failing to stop.

Justice found wanting

"The man who stabbed Kepong Umno Youth chief Norizan Ali was jailed six years even though Norizan survived, my son was shot at with 21 bullets but they say it is not the police's fault, I cannot accept this," Norsiah said.

Another sister, Azura (left in photo), said the family could have accepted the court's decision had the sentence been reduced but were shocked that he was acquitted altogether.

"We respect the courts but if this is the so-called justice, then it is very unfortunate for the rakyat, our family is very saddened...

"We do not want this to happen again, if someone can easily get off then this could happen again," she said.

In the acquittal, High Court judge Abdul Rahman Sebli had ruled that Jenain had no intention to kill Aminulrasyid and had merely shot at the vehicle to stop it.

Meanwhile, Shah Alam MP Khalid Abdul Samad (left), who helped organised the press conference at his office today, reminded Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak that the former had sent a letter to Aminulrasyid's family in May 2010, expressing condolences when the incident happened and assured them justice.

"Najib must ensure that he keeps his promise to Aminulrasyid's family that they will get justice," he said.

He warned that if the attorney-general does not appeal against the acquittal, it would be a "gross miscarriage of justice".

"The attorney-general cannot send a wrong signal that there is a license to kill, that it is okay for the police to fire their weapons even for small offenses," he said.

He added that it was irrelevant whether Jenain intended to kill Aminulrasyid or not, but the fact that he sprayed 21 bullets at the boy for simply driving without a license and failing to stop was wrong.
