The special panel set up to monitor the investigation on the fatal shooting of teenager Aminulrasyid Amzah is now finalising its report on the move to improve the Inspector-General of Police Standing Orders (IGSO) on the use of firearms.

Deputy Home Minister Abu Seman Yusop said the panel was now scrutinising the document before handing it over to the home minister.

"Right now there are things that need to be amended and we also have to listen to the opinion from the ground," he said after launching the Rakan Cop with Kuala Lumpur taxi drivers association in Kuala Lumpur today.

Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan had previously said that police were willing to reveal the IGSO if they were required to do so.

Aminulrashid, 15, was fatally shot in Section 11 in Shah Alam on April 25.

Abu Seman said among the aspects covered in the report were the type of firearms which could be used and the training required.

The IGSO, formulated in 2003, dealt only on the use of firearms but the special panel felt that it should cover other aspects such as verbal directives, the techniques in providing cover, the use of spray equipment, handcuffs, taser guns and batons, he said.

Meanwhile, Abu Seman called on taxi drivers to join the Rakan Cop (Friends of the Cops) to help police monitor criminal activities.

He said that there were 27,000 taxis registered in the Klang Valley but only 2,500 were Rakan Cop members.
