Bukit Aman CID chief Hadi Ho Abdullah has defended Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s ‘shoot first’ remark, claiming that the minister was urging police personnel to act in self-defence should there be any “clear evidence”.
The “clear evidence” which Hadi Ho (left) was referring to are instances where the suspected criminals had fired shots against the security forces.
“If you look that what the minister said, you must take it in its full context. He said if there is clear, clear evidence.
“In this instance, if the police go for a raid and the criminal fires shots, flashes out his firearm and shoots against us, that is clear,” said Hadi Ho in a press conference today.
He said that he had never received nor heard about the ‘shoot first, questions later’ instruction since he joined the security forces almost 40 years ago.
“(Please) ask any of the officers, we have never received such an instruction, we had never heard of it before,” he added.
