Aminulrasyid Amzah

Aminulrasyid Amzah (1995–26 April 2010) was a 15 year old Malaysian student from Shah Alam, Selangor who was shot dead by Royal Malaysian Police officers while allegedly fleeing from a crashed car he was driving. The shooting made national headlines, and subsequent public outcry led to the Home Ministry establishing a special panel led by Deputy Home Minister Abu Seman Yusop to investigate.[1] Aminulrasyid's death became a political issue, with both the federal governing coalition Barisan Nasional and the Selangor governing coalition Pakatan Rakyat offering assistance to his family. Opposition leader Karpal Singh was later appointed counsel for Aminulrasyid's family. A number of Pakatan Rakyat politicians also asked the Inspector-General of Police to resign as a result of the shooting.[2][3][4][5]
