“No prima facie case had in fact been established against the appellant and his defence should not have been called,”

I have always thought that while it is a tragedy that Arwah Aminulrasyid had died from Polis gunfire, the Polis officers had no way of knowing who they were chasing that fateful night and as far as they were concerned after giving due warnings and the car in front would not stop, the Polis must presume that they are chasing armed and dangerous criminal.
Today, I believed justice has been served for Corperal Jenain and the PDRM.

I agree. Eventhough the accidental death of someone so young was a tragedy.. the police should not be blamed for doing their job.
If we need to blame somebody, we should blame the parents for not teaching the kid well. It is not ok to break the law, no matter how small. At one point in time, you or your loved ones may have to pay dearly for it.
