THE KARMA OF KILLING A PREGNANT WOMAN NAJIB &ROSMA HAUTED BY THE GHOST SO THERE GOES YOUR INFLATED 65%

I am outraged


I was having a meeting at Bangsar when I received a text message at about 5pm yesterday about the death of Teoh Beng Hock. He was found dead, apparently "on the roof of an adjoining building next to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s building."




To say that MACC has been independent all these while is like saying Pam Anderson has not done a silicon job. It has been known and seen to move with lightning speed in cases involving opposition leaders as well as UMNO leaders who are not in the right camp. At a whiff of anything resembling an iota of wrongdoing, they would raid, arrest and interrogate all and sundry. But if, and only if, the people involved are from the "other side" of the fence.


But when the luminaries involved are from the government side, they would just sit still, like an elephant on tranquilisers. Look at the palatial mansion issue. Not a word from MACC. Contrast that to the hari raya korban cows issue. They did not only investigated. They even passed judgment in full public view even before the AG had the chance to look at the Investigation Papers!


And what about the Linggam Tape findings made by the Royal Commission? No statement. No hurry. No nothing. NFA, said the Minister. Who was interviewed? Who was arrested for taking statements? Was there interrogations until 3.45 am? None of course.


Teoh was not a suspect. And yet he was interrogated mercilessly from 5pm to 3.45am. Why the needs to do so? Can't witnesses be treated with dignity, if not respect? Was he going to run away? Can't he be asked respectfully to come to the office during office hours and interviewed in a civil manner? After all, if he was a witness, his testimony would be helpful and of assistance to MACC.


There are more questions than answers in this whole debacle. Life is cheap in Malaysia. That is quite obvious.


My questions are:


why would a young man who was to be married in a day's time commit suicide?

why must he, who was not a suspect, be interrogated mercilessly from 5pm to 3.45am?

why was he allowed to remain in MACC's office after he was released?

are members of the public ordinarily allowed to be in MACC's office in the wee hours of the morning without supervision? Wouldn't this run contrary to the security of MACC, its officers and all data in MACC's office and custody?

are members of the public, especially those who have been interrogated, ordinarily allowed to sleep on a settee in MACC's office unsupervised in the wee hours of the morning or any hours for that matter?

are members of the public, especially those who have been interrogated, ordinarily allowed to wander around aimlessly in MACC's office unsupervised?

why was Teoh allowed to do all of the above?

why wasn't Teoh told to go home and not remain in MACC's office as it is a security area?

what happened to CCTV cameras in MACC's office (I presume there will be a hell of a lot of them)

how come nobody noticed where Teoh, a total stranger to MACC and its officers, was? Where was the security guard?

And look at the picture. Teoh's pants are torn. Why?

After taking Perak with a coup, Barisan Nasional will want Selangor because the longer Pakatan keeps it, the more politicians of the latter might show what they can do, and hopefully do well. The question Barisan therefore has to ask is, how? Possible answers: defections, resignations, legal and procedural intimidations, harassment and aggravations.

Timeline in Teo Beng Hock’s Death: Wed., July 15 to Thu., July 16, 2009.

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

12:30 – MACC team of 6 raids Seri Kembangan’s DAP service center of Ean Yong Hian Wah, while Ean Yong was at the Selangor State Legislative Assembly in Shah Alam.

DK? – MACC team (same team?) arrives in Shah Alam offices of the Selangor State secretariat (while Ean Yong was still at legislative building?)

15:45 – MACC team (same team?) exits Shah Alam secretariat offices after raid on Ean Yong office (only his office?).

15:55 – MACC team returns to Shah Alam secretariat office of Ean Yong. Takes away Teo away (only Teo?), with laptop (belonging to Teo?) and PC (belonging to?). M Manoharan went with Teo as counsel.

DK? – Teo, with Mano, and MACC team arrive in MACC office in Plaza Masalam.

19:00 – Last seen by (among DAP people?) Mano at MACC office.

Thursday, July 16, 2009

03:45 – MACC completes statement from Teo, who was then released (physically? or, on paper only?) by MACC.

06:00 – Teo seen by MACC officers asleep in a couch (or chair?) in room on 14thFloor tower bldg of Plaza Masalam (and couch/chair is beside a window?).

13:30 – Teo’s body found (by whom? janitor?) on the podium rooftop of Plaza Masalam (at spot perpendicularly below the window of 14Fl room?).

15:00 – Ean Yong, told by reporters of Teo’s death, arrives at Plaza Masalam; denied access to see Teo (had the police arrive?).

16:00 – Ronnie Liu arrives at Plaza. With Ean Yong makes his way into MACC (why, if the body is outside MACC?).

16:00 – Police summons pathologists to scene (this is new and unusual) and to inspect body.

17:00 – Shukri Abdul, director of investigations, MACC, announces Teo’s death in press conference (had MACC notified kin, friends, colleagues then?).

21:00 – Teo’s body removed (from where?) to hospital TARH.

[The factual accounts are multiple-sourced. Numerous written accounts, fromMalaysiakini for example, are ignored because they read suspicious, even fallacious. Example: “he was believed (by whom?) to have jumped (jumping is arrived at not by “belief” but by witness of an act of volition) from the 14th floor (the 14Fl? who saw it?) of the tower block (a “block” is an independent, stand alone piece of building; Plaza Masalam where MACC has offices is a complex, with an office tower on top a podium, typical of Malaysian construction that puts office above retail/commercial activities)].

Vertical and horizontal window façade shows that the Plaza Masalam’s tower building has separate and distinct heights. It is unlikely floor tenants would have change the original window panels, so the 14th Floor would be identical to floors above and below. A securities company has a trading office on the 16thFloor. A shipping company is on the 15th. All this is also to suggest that many people come and go in the morning and early afternoon of July 16; it was a working day.

In numerous cases handled by both the police and the anti-corruption agency, errors have arisen from incompetence. This may serve a cause if, for example, the purpose of an investigation is purely to harass and to intimidate, causing politicians to defect or give up. But, there is a larger problem that goes with the incompetence: actual determination of innocence or guilt. The government (and Barisan Nasional) relies chiefly on the police and the MACC to do both, the political and the criminal investigation roles. When both are mixed, as in Teo’s case, then incompetence meshes with the question of credibility. It is time for the DAP to establish its own, specialized investigation unit, which should include a doctor, a lawyer, and an investigator who knows some photography.

A number of presumptions go with Teo’s death:

  • Teo fell from a height; he was never, say, murdered on the podium roof.
  • He fell through a 14th floor window, and from nowhere else.
  • MACC is not responsible for Teo’s life, or death, after 3:45am, July 16.

Two key emphases in MACC’s statement and their inferences:

  • (a) Teo was taken in not as suspect, merely as evidence. Hence the MACC statement from him was routine and with that over he was a free man from 3:45am, the time of his release. Teo, after 3:45am, is of no concern to MACC – for example, they don’t even know from which floor he fell. It may not be the 14th.
  • (b) Teo – supposedly he had promised – was to return with documents for MACC the day of his death, July 16. MACC, therefore, has the incentive to want him to go and not detain him anymore. Or, for that matter, of MACC to do anything to him, further proof of which is that only one investigator was with Teo to record the statement (and with him until 3:45am?). MACC was so kind to Teo, they let him sleep in its offices.

In those accounts, the MACC had removed, or attempted to remove, both cause and physical proximity in the death of Teo. But those claims are not yet verified or refuted. Answers to three questions will help alot:

  • Where was Teo for about seven hours, between 6am and 1:30pm of July 16?
  • Did he or did he not fall?
  • If he fell, from where, exactly? If not, where did he die and not where he was found?
