Home Ministry panel remains mum on revealing IGSO

  • 9 years ago
The Home Ministry's special panel on the fatal shooting of teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah is still keeping mum as to whether the Inspector-General's Standing Orders (IGSO) will be made public.

"We will decide when the entire study is completed. At the moment, it is not practical," was panel chairperson and Deputy Home Minister Abu Seman Yusop's answer when quizzed on the matter at a press conference in Putrajaya today.

Among others, the IGSO provides for the use of firearms by the police force, which has been raised as a matter of grave concern following the Aminulrasyid's death on April 28.

Drafted in 2003, the IGSO is classified as an "official secret".
