IPOH (Oct 27, 2013): Bukit Aman has issued a directive to suspend a policeman who accidentally shot a child in an incident in Kampung Belanja Kiri, Parit on Oct 14.

Suaram calls for suspension of cop
The human rights NGO wants the policeman suspended for shooting a 10-year old.
PETALING JAYA: Suara Rakyat Malaysia (Suaram) today urged the police to suspend the officer who accidentally shot 10-year-old Mohd Amar Mohd Azizi, while cleaning his gun.
Suaram coordinator, R. Thevarajan said that it was unacceptable that the police officer was back to duty while being investigated over the shooting the 10-year-old boy.
…
Suaram reiterated the call for an independent investigation on the incident claiming that the internal investigation mechanism of the police had failed as the officer was allowed to carry on with his daily duties as usual.
“The officer should be suspended from duty pending investigations on his conduct. The officer has committed clear negligence and non-compliance with the Standard Operating Procedures of the police force,” Thevarajan said in a press statement.
He also said the proposal to set-up an Independent Police Complaints and Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) should be taken seriously by the government in order to restore the professional standards of the police force in this countr

Cop in shooting accident did not follow rules
Standard procedures on handling firearms were not followed by the police officer who had shot a 10-year-old boy.
PETALING JAYA: The police officer who wounded a 10-year-old boy while cleaning his gun last Monday failed to return his P99 Walther pistol to the arms room after finishing duty.
Perak police chief Senior Asst Comm Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani told FMT this morning that the officer, who was going on leave, was supposed to hand over his firearm as part of the standard police procedure.
“The man, who is a deputy investigation officer, is being probed under the Firearms Act and is also facing an internal inquiry or disciplinary action,” Acryl added.
Acryl said only detectives and investigation officers were allowed to carry a gun home.
However, the former Sarawak police commissioner said normal police officers were duty-bound to hand over the gun as soon as their working shift ended.
“Detectives and investigation officers are allowed to take home the gun because they are on call 24 hours but they must report and renew the permission weekly. That is compulsory.
“Officers who applied for leave, too, must give back their weapons,” he said.

Specialists still undecided on approach to remove bullet from boy’s head
IPOH: Specialists at the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital here will need few more days to decide on the best approach to remove the bullet from Mohd Amar Mohd Azizi’s head.
Hospital director Dr Raja Lope Ahmad Raja Ariffin said on Friday the doctors were still discussing on the safest procedures with minimal risk on the boy.
It was reported that Mohd Amar, 10, was hit by a stray bullet when an off-duty police officer discharged his pistol when cleaning it at Kampung Belanja Kiri in Parit on Monday.
The bullet was lodged on the joint between the skull and neck bone, just 1cm away from his spinal cord and arteries.
The hospital’s neurosurgeon Dr Cheang Chee Keong was reported saying that he wished the surgery could be carried out latest by today (Oct 18), as he feared movements in the bullet might damage the spinal cord and arteries.
