Inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar has reiterated that he will not apologise to Aminulrasyid Amzah's family after the High Court found him liable for public misfeasance in the case.

"I will not apologise because my statement was based on the facts of the case at that time," he said in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

On Thursday, the Shah Alam High Court had found Khalid, who was Selangor chief police officer at that time, liable for public misfeasance in the case of slain teenager Aminulrasyid.

This is because Khalid had said in a statement the day after Aminulrasyid was shot dead in a car chase with the police that a parang was found in the car.

The court found that this was an attempt by the IGP to justify the actions of the police officer who had fired at the 14-year-old.

Khalid said that he never said Aminulrasyid had used the parang, only that it had been found in the car he was driving.

"There is no issue of me having to apologise because I purportedly made that statement to protect my men.

"I am not acting arrogant. I based it on the facts on the case.

"I never said that he used the parang. I only said that the parang was found in the car," he insisted.

If the court did not discuss the issue of the parang during the trial, he added, it was not his fault.

Khalid stressed that the parang did exist, as there are records that show the weapon was sent to the laboratory to be examined.

In its decision, the court had said that they had found no evidence of the parang based on the evidence and testimonies during the trial.

The court had also mentioned that despite being called to testify in the civil case, Khalid never did.

Meanwhile, the IGP warned today that if anyone tried to "twist the story", he will be taking actions against them.

IGP may appeal Amirulrasyid decision

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi also weighed in on the issue, saying that he thinks the IGP will appeal to a higher court.

"I think because the case has been taken to the court, let the court decide after an appeal to a higher court has been lodged," he said in an earlier press conference.

The Shah Alam High Court on Thursday had ordered the defendants, including Khalid, in the civil case to pay RM414,800 in damages to Aminulrasyid's family.

The civil suit was filed by the family to claim damages for Aminulrasyid's death, allegedly due to gunshot wounds to the head caused by police negligence.

In November 2013, the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision to acquit and discharge Corporal Jenain Subi on a charge of causing Aminulrasyid's death when he pursued the latter in a car chase along Jalan Tarian 11/2, Section 11, Shah Alam, between 1.10am and 2am on April 26, 2010.

Besides Khalid, the other defendants named were Jenain, the Shah Alam district police chief and the Malaysian government.

On a separate issue, Khalid responded to Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who had questioned if his bungalow purchase case would be investigated fairly and professionally.

"We have always been professional. There is not one instance where we have not been professional," Khalid said.

Lim had said he was happy to assist the police in their investigations into claims that he had purchased his bungalow below market price.

But he had also questioned: “Will Ms Phang and myself be given the right to be investigated fairly, impartially and professionally?"
