There's a Dr. Teoh (Hsien-Jin) (pic above) who is in articles in the Star and Free Malaysia Today. The Star article says he is an expert.
The articles are below for your reference.

He is defending the recent police shooting of the teenager.
He's a former journalist and now a clinical psychologist, also once in
the Territorial Army, how does that make him an expert in police
matters?
I have handled firearms, including high velocity small arms and have
worked briefly in law enforcement but i do not tout myself as an
expert in either, even though i may have more knowledge than the
average civilian with regards to firearms and law enforcement.
I have faced assault by bad guys. I have been shot at. I've searched a
building for a suspect. It's not an easy life in law enforcement, it
can be scary, but the use of firearms is a very serious matter and the
police can't simply shoot every time they feel frightened.
Dr. Teoh's spinning the news of the shooting of the teenager i frankly
find sickening.
First, he says a speeding car chased by motorbikes late at night is a
threat and the police were correct to shoot.
Perhaps a speeding car pursued late at night by motorcyclists is
merely a terrified motorist pursued by Mat Rempit. The police should
intervene to protect the motorist, not shoot them.
Second, he says the boy is at fault for being underage and driving
without a licence.
Are those offences which carry a death penalty?
I think the action the police took was unjustified and unjustifiable.

Dr. Teoh's spinning the news of the shooting..............
Stint !!!
"Some people have so much respect for their superiors they have none left for themselves. "
Peter McArthur
A string of professional qualifications and experience.
But no heart or human qualities to speak of!!
14 year-old Aminul obviously panicked as you would expect 14 year-olds to do if found in that situation. That does not mean he deserved to be shot dead!!
dpp
we are all of 1 race, the Human Race
I'm pretty sure this "Dr Teoh" is also another incompetent academic of this country.Where the fuckk is he graduated ? University of Gunung Tahan,Kedah ?
omar teoh in the making...
Now that the police shot a 17 year old MALAY mat rempit i wonder what that Teoh will say.
Maybe he will say that the 17 y.o. mat rempit was high on glue , it was dark , high speed chase , riding dangerously,without bike license , suspected riding a stolen bike and deserves to be shot from the back.
Is dr.Teoh hoping to get a datukship or it is his frank opinion? Time will tell.
Just like that whore Hee , she got her datukship for her services rendered.
KJ better defend his mat rempit/mat cemerlang boys by issuing bullet proof vest.Or his boys will dies like flies.
In my frank opinion , all mat rempits deserve to be shot in the face not from the back.
But , shooting them is against the law and KJ will be hoping mad if there is such a law to shoot his boys.
Aminul is just a boy .Of course he will panic.That is normal.
Even adults panic.
Dr. Tai Eng Teck panicked and the police shot him dead in his car.
What about Batu Burok incident?
All the victims are without weapons not even an ice cream stick.
Note to the dr.Teoh.
General duties Police personnel are NOT trained to shoot to kill.
if u want to talk about spinning, it's amazing how the family members who are equally responsible for the death of the boy has emerged unscatched in this unfortunate incident.
how sad is this.
