The first death in Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) custody, Teoh Beng Hock, political secretary to DAP Selangor State Exco and Seri Kembangan Assemblyman, Ean Yong Hian Wah, is the defining test for the MACC as to its independence and professionalism as well as for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s commitment to accountability, transparency and the rule of law.
The heartless, cruel and insensitive statement by the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz on Teoh’s death has aggravated the outrage of ordinary Malaysians regardless of race and religion demanding full accountability and transparency as to how an idealistic political activist who is to register his civil marriage the next day could take his own life after oppressive overnight questioning allegedly from 6 pm to 4 am by the MACC as a witness and not as an accused!
Nazri said he was informed by the MACC that Teoh was released earlier yesterday morning, and he should have gone home instead and asked: “How would we know that he would jump out of the building” (PDF)?
He said Pakatan Rakyat should not blame MACC for Teoh’s death.
My three responses are:
- Firstly, how did Nazri know that Teoh “jumped out” of the 14th floor of the building?
- Secondly, it is not just Pakatan Rakyat but the overwhelming majority of Malaysians who blame MACC for Teoh’s death for the simple reason that Teoh was in the custody and premises of MACC when he plunged to his death from the 14th storey MACC office, and after being subjected to an unusual and oppressive overnight interrogation by MACC from 6 pm to 4 am when he was not a suspect but only a witness;
- Thirdly, if MACC is not to be blamed for Teoh’s death, is the blame to be directed to Nazri as the Minister responsible for MACC or to Prime Minister Najib himself?
As I told the Selangor MACC Director Ja’afar bin Mahad this morning, unless MACC can come out with a convincing and satisfactory explanation for Teoh’s death, MACC’s present story disclaiming responsibility does not sell and public perception throughout the country is that this is the first case of MACC custody death, which will do irreparable damage to what is already a very poor image of MACC after six months of operation.
I am very disappointed by the meeting at MACC Shah Alam headquarters this morning between Pakatan Rakyat leaders, namely Parliamentary Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Penang Chief Minister, Lim Guan Eng, Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and myself with Ja’afar.
Ja’afar said he was instructed not to say anything as Teoh’s death is under police investigations.
It is most regrettable that MACC Deputy Commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohammad was not present at the meeting in Shah Alam although I had fixed the appointment with him yesterday over phone. This is blatant irresponsibility coming from the No. 2 in MACC.
Parliament had set up the MACC to wipe out the corrupt and not to murder any Malaysian – and the onus is on MACC to prove that it has not deviated from the parliamentary and national objectives of the MACC to spearhead the war against corruption instead of its declaring war against the Pakatan Rakyat as the catspaw of UMNO/Barisan Nasional.
When the MACC Bill was introduced in Parliament last December, Abu Kassim said that under the new legislation, five bodies will closely watch over the MACC to ensure its transparency and integrity.
These five bodies are: Anti-Corruption Advisory Board; Special Committee on Corruption; Operations Review Panel; Corruption Prevention and Consultative Panel; and a Complaints Committee.
Abu Kassim publicly declared at the time that with these five scrutinizing bodies, the MACC would not be accused of being the “lapdog” of the government as its predecessor the Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) had been accused in the past.
But this has proved to be a empty rhetoric, as half a year after its establishment, MACC has proven to be even worse than ACA in being the “lapdog” of the Barisan Nasional government especially in the blatant manner it has declared war on the Pakatan Rakyat, particularly in Selangor!
The five MACC scrutinizing bodies, particularly the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board and Special Committee on Corruption should just disband if they are totally impotent to check the MACC deviations and abuses of power so early in its establishment.
Najib has just completed his First Hundred Days with a redound in his popularity rating, but he is heading for the doldrums if he condones any cover-up in the first death in MACC custody in the case of Teoh.
The first thing Najib should do on his return from his trip overseas for the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) meeting is to announce the setting up of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to conduct a full public inquiry to get to the bottom of Teoh’s extraordinary plunge to death from the 14th floor-MACC Building in Shah Alam yesterday.

This is funny … I forgot who said it, getting 65% is one thing, maintaining is another. This Teoh’s incident will be truly a test.
I think they will say that:
i. Teoh got cold feet for his marriage so he ended it;
ii. he had major sleep walking problems.
It will be another Kugan … no difference.

///Nazri said he was informed by the MACC that Teoh was released earlier yesterday morning, and he should have gone home instead and asked: “How would we know that he would jump out of the building”?///– Kit
Nazri should look at the picture of the late Teoh lying on the floor. See http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/108635. He should notice that Teoh’s trousers was torn at the buttock. It could not be torn during the fall. It could not be torn if he had jumped out of the window. Somebody was holding Teoh by his legs. The grip on the legs gave way and the person(s) was left holding the leg-end of the trousers, and it must have happened suddenly. Teoh was dropped to his death.
Nazri is irresponsible to claim that Teoh jumped out of the building. It was homicide, not suicide.
#7 by Kasim Amat on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:09 pm
DAP is trying to make use of the incident to attract sympathy of the Rakyat. I know very well this is one of their dirty tactics to win over the heart of the voters. This is purely an accident and should not be turned into a national issue that creates social unrest. This is a modern society and evidence is needed for any accusation. Accusation without evidence is defamation. Chinese should be satisfied with what they have today and should not go for the extreme like what DAP is doing.
#8 by Bigjoe on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:10 pm

Next, Nazi may claim that Teoh, while resting at MACC, had a dream of R. Kelly’s “I Believe I Can Fly”:
“But now I know the meaning of true love
I’m leaning on the everlasting arms
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
(Oh) I believe I can fly”
So, Teoh opened the window and flew
While flying, Teoh scratched his backside so hard that the back of his pants tore open
His wrists also got injured
Then, sudden death

“This is purely an accident and should not be turned into a national issue that creates social unrest.” (Kasim Amat)
Kasim Amat,
An accident? What the hell you are talking about here?
It seemed that the MACC was following the Police way of using brutal force during the interrogation process.
Most Malaysians know that the Police Force will use violence on a suspect or a key eyewitness during the interrogation process in order to force a detainee to disclose the information wanted by the Police. I was once under the police custody with the ISA. During the interrogation process, when the CID suspected that I was telling lie, he outrageously picked up a chair made of hard wood trying to slam the chair unto me. I was very angry with that life threat. I stared at the CID with a pair of my stern eyes and told him to drop the chair. I was prepared to die on the spot when I uttered such two words, “Drop it!” Thank God after having personal eye contact with the CID, he immediately cooled himself down and dropped the chair slowly, looking like an amazing force had helped to save my life from the devilish attack.
We should always pray hard when when are in trouble! Regrettably, BengHock died too early before he got a chance to tell us about his experience with the MACC interrogation!
#14 by danieltcc on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:36 pm
Would it be possible that from a scene played out many times in movies that a person undergoing ruthless interrogation being held upside down high up on a building, with the interrogators holding the person by his pants and they didn’t realise that this poor man was wearing cheap pants that tear easily and he thus fell or dropped from the window ledge. Afterall, most highrise buildings don’t allow their windows to open too widely. So looking at the photos, Teoh’s pants were torn at the back, the windows do not open too wide enough for him to accidentally jump out or could he have walked into the hole of the window. Furthermore, interrogation until wee hours in the morning. Why? To hide the interrogation methods? And it is the first time that a govt department or office do not have any CCTV? Too many questions but no answer.
#15 by ALLAN THAM on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:38 pm
This Nazri is simply a crown who provide entertainment to the parliament.
people always like to link every thing to race. That is immature.
Now think of the lady who give birth to this young boy and now turn to young man, and today suppose to be married today but it turn up to be his last day in this worldly life ? Any human who can breath will share the same and no this race and that race.
Now why should his life cut short just like that?
Was it not right to ask MACC for an answer as they are the last who see him a live?
What have they put into him, in words that him before his death? While some one may know but we will never expect an answer and it is to be dealt with GOD in the next live to come!
But, why should this turn to race when we all know MACC should not conduct their duties and acted like hooligans!
Any one wish to challenge what NAdes have said all this while in his articles in the Sun about MACC? ANY ONE PROOF HIM WRONG ?
Why can’t some one hold his conscience to ask why this young should dead in that way?
Are we expect to have any answer?
What ever it is, we have to come together to stopped this. We Malaysian did not reserve this kind culture of hooliganism as practiced by MACC. More so they have nothing to shown when come to thing like PKFZ and many other issues that really affecting the daily life of Malaysia.
We have to stop it PR and BN must come together and we need to fight as some thing is not right for MACC to act all this while.
#16 by cheong on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:40 pm
First of all, my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of Teo.
I totally agree with you that if the five bodies who are supposed to closely watch the MACC are mere spectators who did nothing, what’s the use of putting them there? It is very obvious now that macc has become lapdog of bn to suppress, harass and threaten their political opponents. Did any of these 5 came out to say they have been bias/double standard?
I am not sure exactly how the agency work but surely, like all other institutions, there must be some sort of fixed guideline and not simply resort to selective investigation/ prosecution and also carry out their investigation at whim & fancy like interrogating a witness till the wee hour of the morning and refusal of the company of legal rep.
I think the agency has been vested with too wide powers, this if not regulated, will lead to abuse and the danger is that it is highly possible tht they became a powerful tool of unscrupulous politicians.

“We are in politics not because we want money, position, status or prestige but because we believe in our ideology and want to serve the people.”
Still silence from MCA and Gerakan huh? Wow … they purport to champion for us Chinese and Malaysians!

What is wrong with you all? Kasim is correct, its a mere accident. They accidentally:

ii. interrogate him too much;
iii. threatened him a lot;
Most of all maybe they ACCIDENTALLY dropped him. True or not?

Needless to say, UMNO, MACC (or whatever you call it), the police, and forensic unit (lazy and incompetent department by international standards) will cover the case up, just like what they have done in many cases involving UMNO politicians and their cronies. The photo already shows some signs that he was subjected to torture during interrogation. Why should anyone be questioned up to 4 am other than to torture him? I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Teoh’s family and his wife-to-be. This is a terrible experience for them. May his soul rest is peace, and may his death in the hands of UMNO not go in vain. CURSES to UMNO politicians and may God’s SEVERE PUNISHMENT be on all of you for your cruelty and greed beyond humane standards. May this incident be made known to the whole world to show the evil and corruption of UMNO.
#22 by limkamput on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:53 pm
There are so many idiotic things happening the last few days.
First, the death of Teoh. Yes DAP leaders have every reason to be angry and upset. My question is: Why was he left alone there? Why no other DAP leaders or sub leaders have provided him support and company. Yes, he may have to face the interview alone with MACC, but there must be at least one DAP official accompanying him there. Is there a crime if someone just waits there while he was being interviewed?
Second, it is about that lawyer Singh and Penang Gerakan Youth making reports against Guan Eng. Look, how many scumbags are there in this country. How despicable can they get, what has this country come to? You bloody scumbags think you have moral high grounds to make reports. Let me tell you this: it is precisely we have scumbags like you fellows that this country is now in shamble and will probably remain so for a long time. You bloody assh*les turned a blind eye to all the mega corruptions and abuses in the country. Instead, you can only set your sight on Guan Eng’s RENTED bungalow. How despicable can you fellows get? I wish you read this and come to debate with me. I don’t think Guan Eng will ever use racist remarks on this stupid Singh. But for me, I would like your call you a useless spineless bayi, how about it? And to Penang Gerakan Youth, you fellows don’t ever hope you will be in power again. Sorry, no more spoil for you fellows, find a job.
Third, if PKR ever allows that former DAP scumbag and now MP of Wangsa Maju to stand again in the next general election, DAP should consider pulling out of PR. All these scumbags should be buried for good.
#23 by a2a on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:57 pm
MACC is a bunch of very racist human being.
Somebody must do something that to debate isn’t it this land malaya orang asli live and occupied this land hundreds earlier than any race in Malaysia.
Somebody better come this topic to clarified is orang asli are the earliest people occupied this land Malaya.
This debate can let all malaysians know that all are immigrants/emigrants in this land except the orang asli.
#24 by pastaman on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 4:57 pm
I am very angry.
Angry, because the thugs at MACC are purely thugs, and bullies, with no professionalism. They hounded and bullied suspects, and coerce confessions, they bullied weaker people, they threaten to harm suspects families, they use their position given to them by the government to make threats and use force and torture to scare suspects. They are no more than government sanctioned gangsters. They are also racist in their attitude, not always, but more so than usual. They prey on the weak. They do not follow procedure. They are next to useless. They are corrupt and should be investigated. They are in essence the devil incarnate himself.
The should be disbanded and the closed shop.

it is sad that:
(1) teoh has become a political sacrifice of the brutal bn regime. beside bribery and corruption, it seems that murder or death threat are the favorite political gimmicks of the bn government trying to protect their own interests. definitely nr has ‘outshined’ all his predecessors.
(2) we all should remember that this shitty macc is a product of aab’s legacy. he did not leave a good name in his political career but created a mechanism that, now, life threatening and murderous. now you all should now that why he was so eager to pass the bill before stepping down. now aab is talking about repealing the isa. i think he should now be accountable for this death first.
(3) the opposition pr should contributorily responsible also. did the opposition pr do good enough to block the passing of such legislatures that very obviously flaw?
(4) every life is previous. a life is lost now, which i do not believe he voluntarily jumped off the window. JUSTICE NEEDS TO BE REDEEMED.
(5) i read with anger that the msm reported same day a crowd at the KLIA welcoming the manchester united team. it is truly sad that the malaysians cares more about foreigners but show insufficient interest in the death of a fellow malaysian. where are we going, malaysia and malaysians?

Oh, now we have Human Right Party, never mind we have IPF, MIC and PPP. How many scumbag parties do we really need? I suggest from now on we should be very careful when donating money. May be someone need to tell us where Hindraf got all the money to do all the monkey stuff.
Can MCA and GERAKAN do the honourable thing? No, i don’t think so.
What about PAS? What is your stand on the latest? Was there PAS supporters at the MACC building?
Now, let me tell you this: nothing is going to change if scumbags are spurting up like mushrooms.

I don’t understand why Ronnie Liu needs the handphone. Unless the police are certain (how can they be?) that Teoh’s death was an accident, shouldn’t they be the ones to hold and examine the handphone? If neither the police nor the MACC have his phone, then his network provider should be asked where it is, or where and when it last was switched on. Why are there never any facts?

If one or two Malay Personnels (definately not a real Muslim brother) happen to come accross this page and try to make stupid jokes, pls redirect him to this page: http://www.harakahdaily.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=021790&Itemid=85
I believe everybody knows that this is a POLITICAL ISSUE – not a racial issue! Pakatan is doing so good with all races in our country and PAS is NOT a MALAY-BASED PARTY. It’s the ISLAMIC PARTY with all the HUDUD and Quranic verses.
DAP: pls don’t hate HUDUD so much anymore because without HUDUD, another Malaysian, now is a DAP member, was found killed or “DEAD”. Definitely those who killed this innocent man will be dealt fiercely by HUDUD.
Islam strictly doesn’t allow any life to be easily taken away by anybody – Muslim or non-muslim. Only GOD can take away your life!
Ask TGNA what will happen to the killer of this boy if HUDUD is implemented. It this ok?

From what we observed, MACC is even a bigger lapdog for the BN. Why is the MACC going after the Opposition? What about Khir and his big bungalow? What about the PKFZ? Those are the rakyat money?
In this case, why was a witness, not a perpetrator of a crime held and questioned until 3.45am in the morning. I say that again, why 3.45am in the morning. Is the crime so big? Can it be as big as the PKFZ where two former transport ministers went beyond their authority.
We must thank Abdullah Badawi for this legacy, MACC??
As for Nazri, if he has nothing intelligent to say, for god sake, shut up.

“Chinese should be satisfied with what they have today and should not go for the extreme like what DAP is doing.” (Kasim Amat)
Kasim Amat,
Are you trying to preach us the concept of “Ketuanan Melayu” (The Malay Supremacy) here? Does the concept of “Ketuanan Melayu” imply that all Chinese Malaysians must behave humbly and slavely in front of all “Tuan Melayu”? Otherwise, does the concept of “Ketuanan Melayu” imply that those disobedient Chinese Malaysians would most likely die an untimely mysterious death as a punishment for their disrespectful defiance against the so-called “Tuan” (the Master) because the Chinese Malaysians are said to behave unthankfully to “Tuan Melayu”?
What a typical despicable Malay racist you are, Kasim Amat!!!

Hey, Khir Toyo claimed that his questioning by MACC was recorded. Teoh’s too must have been recorded. Why not get hold of the recording and see the lines of questioning?
Was he treated like Khir Toyol?

Lastly NAZRI keep your mouth SHUT!

From what Mr. Tan Boon Hwa described, the MACC is more than a lap dog. Their mission is to create and manufacture evidence to persecute and shame the Opposition, for BN to stay in power. It is not there to work for the people and answerable only to Parliament.
We are definitely living in a police state. 1GestapoMalaysia.

Ignore Kasim Amat .. he is insignificant. The issue is .. How did Teoh Beng Huat die?
#64 by siamo on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 7:11 pm
What Tan Boon Hwa described reminds me of the army rule of Bangladesh in the last few years.
What the army did was to manufacture evidence. They would questioned ( for long hours) and force certain parties to sign made up statements against targeted parties so that the army can charge them in court and therefore eliminate political dissent against the army and to show that the military government was doing a lot to eliminate corruption.
For example, one party made a donation to the national foundation, never meant to be for a particular individual. He was forced to sign a statement that the money was paid to the politician. He refused and was put in detention without charge.
#65 by siamo on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 7:17 pm
If we follow the logic of creating evidence from the Tan Boon Hwa’s description, we must asked how credible is the evidence presented for the sodomy case of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim? Manufactured by the police?
#66 by yhsiew on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 7:22 pm
Kit,
Check if Teoh Beng Hock still had his wallet and watch with him when he died.
The police and MACC said that they did not keep Teoh Beng Hock’s hand-phone. If Teoh beng Hock still had the wallet and watch with him but without the hand-phone when he died, then the chances are high that Teoh was was murdered.
#67 by siamo on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 7:25 pm
Which constituency elected this Nazri. If I were in his constituency and voted for him, I do know where to hide my face.
Isn’t this guy who was Minister for Enterpreneurial Development (?), which issued a mountain of taxi licences and the ACA (not yet MACC) wanted to investigate him. His response is that he and the Government are the bosses and ACA cannot investigate him, as if he is above the law? What a silly no brainer comment. I thought if he has any political sense he should say, if ACA has enough evidence, they are welcome to come to see him.
Anyway, now he is de facto law minister? Oh my god? What is happening to Malaysia? Apa pun boleh ke?. MalaysiaBolehKetawa MBK! Wonder why is Najib still keeping him after all these gaffes? Some politicing that we are not aware of?

Memang ada kemusykilan tentang kematian saudara Teo. Kebanyakan rakyat Msia memang berharap kebenaran dan keadilan mengenai penyiasatan kematian beliau.
Setakat ini, hanya Tuhan yang apa sebenarnya berlaku. Dan mungkin mereka yang “terlibat” kalau ada.
Harapan rakyat Msia adalah satu, PM, pihak Polis dan MACC menegakan keadilan and ketelusan.
Takziah kepada keluarga Teoh dan bakal isteri beliau.

It was common to use family members as a threat. But believe me here is how religion belief can assist one who have strong religion belief. Please do not cow by this MACC or who ever the interrogator’s trained technique, while closed family member are closed to us but we owe all human the same. So the son and wife in this life is temporary, so that be attache to them too closely, if they threatened to harm them let it be if this was faiths other wise no body can heart your wife and children so no be cow by them. Off course this easy to say than done. but there is why religion belief come into play. Many of us did not belief in God that is why we are so easily be threaten by those who has the power.
MACC has grossly abused their power for the benefits of those in power. they are not only being used by those in power but it seem they are have voluntarily champion the course of those in power. that is the head of all these agency are being keep renewing upon expiry of their terms. it seem the same old guy are being keep reappointing again and again.
BN may not have specifically directed what they should do and they always claimed they worked independently which is true. but in order to keep their term of appointment going they will do all actions that is in the BN favour because other wise when come to the expiry of the term they will not be reappointed. So we have a system which can not be easy to changed this kind of attitude unless the whole system change and this is difficult.
#70 by ALLAN THAM on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 7:52 pm
What Tan Boon Hwa disclosure was nothing new for those who read RPK’s articles on how MACC worked. Believe or not is not important but all these while nobody has proof RPK was false.
As I said it again another person who has wrote substantially about MACC is Mr. Nades, again no body has proof him wrong or bring him to court for malicious reporting. His and Terrence also from the Sun has written many many articles about the conduct of MACC, and it seems their articles were just for entertaining over a cup of morning coffee. This was the sickness of today Malaysia.
Many and the Minister Nazri, the crown has come into defense of MACC, but why don’t NAZRI bring NADES to charge if what he has written about MACC IS false? Instead of defending MACC now?
Let it be fair too. Yes we the people on the street are quit to pint figure but has not all these while they have so much bad publicity about MACC? Look at the way their handle so many high profile cases? What there is always case keep going and on going and at the end of the send to NAT(NO ACTION TAKEN)? Can you blame we people on the street that have this perception?

Dear Uncle Kit,
Please setup a fund for Teoh’s children. His children need to be taken care.
Please do a collection of fund at 19 July Meeting at Stadium Kelana Jaya. After that, a special bank account for this fund is needed. This is to ease the contribution from everybody from different states of Malaysia.
All Malaysian, please contribute to this fund to grow up Teoh’s Children.
A paypal account is highly recommended as well. I am sure a lot of foreigners would love to contribute as well.
If Pakatan Rakyat cannot do this simple thing, how can we expect PR can fight for a better Malayisa.
#73 by yhsiew on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 8:36 pm
Teoh Beng Hock’s death can be analyzed as follows:
1. He committed suicide
Nazri said MACC released Teoh yesterday morning. So we expect Teoh got back his wallet, watch and hand-phone from MACC. If Teoh committed suicide, his hand-phone should be with him or at around the place where he jumped. But his family today asked the police and MACC for the hand-phone (and they claimed they did not keep it). This gives evidence that Teoh did not commit suicide.
2. He was robbed and murdered.
We know Teoh died without his hand-phone with him. If his wallet and watch were also not with him, one could conclude that he was robbed and murdered. It is hard to believe that robbers walked up to the 14th floor to carry out the robbing as they (robbers) would not be able to flee quickly from the high-rise.
3. He was ‘politically’ murdered.
Teoh died without his hand-phone with him. If his wallet and watch were with him, there is evidence that it is a political murder.
The current scenario seems to point to a political murder!
#74 by ALLAN THAM on Friday, 17 July 2009 - 8:39 pm
My advise to those young man and woman who choose politic as their career especially whose who wish to joint the opposition parties, being prepare psychologically. One must trained and focus on issues they belief in and most importantly must have a crystal clear the purpose of life and surrendered to the belief of the religion that one chose to believe in.
One must cultivate his faith in life and have no fear but the god that he choose to believe in. That will provide a cushion when one face with the adversity the the inhuman interrogation by the well trained interrogators.
One must also make known his choice to his closed one so much so keep them known that this is the path that you choose and ask for their understanding and prepare for the worst to come in line to this political environment that one involved in. This will make one strong and have no uncertainty when one face with the most fear of being departed from this life. The best is to have the belief that life has no end but it go on and one until one achieve the eternity life.
So one must prepare and also seek the guidance of the god one chose to belief in so that should you face the worst threat in life you will not have fear but peace instead as this is the path that one undertake to walk through with no regret.
It is very important to let your love one to understand the path that one take to joint politic in this kind of environment so that they will understand at all time and you will not face fear when face with the threat like those fond to use against your family members.
One have to be prepared at all cost and scarf ice for what you belief in.

In the developed countries, scientists have utilize the knowledge of genetics to modify crops and animals. These genetically-modified organisms were initially thought to be beneficial to mankind. But now it has become commonplace that these genetically-modified organisms are potentially dangerous to the environment and to those who consume them. So now there are derogatory terms to describe such genetically-modified organisms such as Frankenfoods and Frankenfish.
In Bolehland our politicians have also genetically created a monster. The moribund anti-corruption agency was transformed into a ferocious and violent Commission that everyone at first thought would be good. But hardly a few days of its birth, it has become a Frankenstein monster.
Just like the Frankenfish and Frankenfoods the MACC has now become a FrankenCom. This is a gift from sleepyhead, Abdullah Badawi to the people of Bolehland.

NR and UMNO, I want to let you know that for every innocent life that is lost and destroyed by your selfish political motives, you are fully accountable in God’s eyes, and fully accountable to the families and loved ones that are affected. I do not know what is your religious conviction, but we believe that for all these cruel and merciless and unjust acts of yours and UMNO, you and your cronies will receive bad Karma here and in the afterlife. We believe in leadership by example, and so far your actions and lifestyle do not convince a large multitude of Malaysians that you are sincere and capable. We do not believe in your 1Malaysia concept because it is full of insincerity and gimmicks and it is only an empty and meaningless slogan. Please step down and let the better party govern Malaysia for the sake of our country and children’s future. I am truly ashamed to be a Malaysian now because of how you run the country. There is no political will to eradicate massive and rampant corruption among UMNO politicians. Instead the innocent are targeted by you to destroy all political dissent. In the meantime, the country’s economy is sliding, the poor remain poor, the education system is in shambles due to political expediency, there’s no real development and buildings are collapsing, the judiciary is corrupted, the police force is weak and corrupted, innocent people are incarcerated in prisons, religious and racial disharmony is at an alarming level, and all-in-all there’s no peace and happiness in the country. If you cannot lead the country, please step down and follow the better leader. Shame on you and the entire UMNO-led government for putting Malaysia into this condition.

Public transport fares will go up by 30% next month. The announcement was made almost immediately after the Manek Urai by-election in Kelantan. This is the ‘reward’ BN gave to Kelantanees who supported them in the by-election. When will 50% of the voters in Kelantan learn? Do they not know BN stands for Baring Naik party? The 30% hike in public transport fares are good enough to cover the cost of 10 bridges BN promised them!

“I don’t understand why Ronnie Liu needs the handphone.” (OrangRojak)
OrangRojak,
Teoh Beng Hock’s personal belongings such as handphone, wallets, house keys are very important clues which tell us whether Teoh died during the Police’s custody or he died after having been released from the Police’s custody.
If we are able to find any one of those removable belongings of Teoh, then only we can come to the conclusion that Teoh died after having been released by the police. Otherwise, Teoh’s personal belongings would still be locked up in the police’s locker!
I believe the MACC staff who took care of the detainee’s personal belongings should have some clues about the truth about Teoh’s death. According to the Malaysia’s detention procedure, the interrogators usually are not given the power to keep any of the detainee’s personal belongings!

==============================================
If Teoh was really released from MACC custody, how come he never phoned home to tell his parents or siblings that he had been released?
When a person had spent so many hours at MACC, it would only be natural that he phoned home to report that he was safe, the moment he was released from custody.

Nazri should not try to protect the MACC blindly without gathering adequate evidences first.
There is at least one good reason which will give justification to Barisan Nasional for agreeing upon the establishment of a Royal Commission for commencing a public inquiry into Teoh Beng Hock’s mysterious death case. The reason is simple: Just assume that the MACC has been penetrated by Al-Queda for the purpose of creating some chaotic and panicky situations in several countries at the meantime so that Al-Queda can easily take profit by closing off the open positions which Al-Queda holds by forward selling of certain financial instruments such as Stock Market Index Option Futures, Ringgit Currency Futures, Commodity Futures and etc. Closing off of the open forward selling contracts can be done by buying back the relevant financial instrument when the price of the relevant financial instrument drastically drops after a big chaotic and panicky situation happens out-of-a-sudden which badly affects the political stability and thus causes big plunges in the money market and capital market.
Nazri of Barisan Nasional should see thing from different aspects and should not be always blinded by his stupid loyalty to Umno! There is a need for Nazri to recommend setting up of a Royal Commission for making inquiry into Teoh’s mysterious death case during the custody of MACC.

A nice extract from KP Goh’s blog:
Why was a witness being held for questioning for ten hours and only released at 3.45am? What kind of case is it and what is the urgency of the case in question that the witness had to be deprived of sleep and forcibly kept awake till 3.45am? Was the nation deemed to be in grave danger had the witness in question been sent home at a respectable time and asked to report again for questioning the next morning? The nation could endure long years of waiting over so many other much longer pending cases involving so much more public money and have much greater weight in public interest but this particular case could not wait for the next morning when the witness in question would have been fresher and better rested? What kind of interrogation was he subjected to on the fateful night without end? Why was it that a witness had to be isolated from his lawyer and forced to be in the sole company of officers with no other neutral person/s present? Because he was in the sole company of officers who were interrogating him, how would his side of the story be ever told? And how would, why should the officers in question be trusted when they tell the nation what actually transpired during that fateful night the witness lost his life? There were no other witness/es present so how would these officers in question clear their own involvement or clear their own names in this sad story?

Is there anybody working for his network provider who can erm … you know … with Teoh’s handphone data? Last cell registration would do. If not make it available, then make a secure copy of the data somewhere, so that it doesn’t go missing.

Although this is a sad moment for all of us, but we can have this lesson to mirror or message out what are the leaders quality in the near future and prevention in repeat the same incident.

PR must act forcefully and demand for a change in MACC manner of conducting their selective investigations.
#115 by OrangRojak on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 11:34 am
Just a thought: wouldn’t it be easier to just compel all those in receipt of public funds to publish their detailed accounts? It has to be called the public sector for a reason… Perhaps the public could examine the accounts and decide for themselves what is corruption and what is not.
One thing I’m not clear on: is there a clear test for corruption? At what point does a back-scratching arrangement become formally corrupt?
#116 by ALLAN THAM on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 11:40 am
the richest selangor dentist is quick to defense MACC and say nice about them. that was understandable as he was thousand time more than suitable to be the MACC’s target then this poor champ. so nice words will sure please MACC to lost sight on this dentist.
am sure LHDN also can not do anything about this richest dentist.

“Is there anybody working for his network provider who can erm … you know … with Teoh’s handphone data?” (OrangRojak)
OrangRojak,
I think your suggestion will be the first step which the Police Investigation Officer will take in the investigation process.
However, I guess the investigation officer will never be able to find any useful information if Teoh Beng Hock’s handphone had been turned off and kept by the MACC staff in charge of the MACC locker. If the MACC did cause the death of Teoh but its top officers chose to deny that Teoh’s mysterious death had gotten anything to do with the MACC, then most likely all records showing the time of release of Teoh Been Hock would also be adulterated.
If we are able to find the whereabout of Teoh’s wallet, car key or house key in the death scene, then it will be equally good to prove that the MACC had already set Teoh free at the time of Teoh’s death.
#118 by Onlooker Politics on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 11:49 am
If Teoh Beng Hock had been released by the MACC before his death, then there should be a car key or house key in his pocket if not some pocket money. Does the Police Investigation Officer find any one of those personal belongings of Teoh in his pocket?
#119 by AhPek on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 12:02 pm
But then again, Onlooker Politics, this could be easily arranged for these things to be in his pocket since nobody is allowed to get anywhere near Teoh’s body for quite awhile,not even his brother!
#120 by OrangRojak on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 12:13 pm
And one more on the subject of access to data in the public sector. How long does the MACC take away IT equipment for? Making all government office data public might short-circuit this aspect of the MACC’s work. An alternative would be to force all public sector staff to use a fully-hosted system for their work – so that no data at all is held on their own PCs.
That wouldn’t prevent the co-called enforcement agencies from concentrating their efforts on individuals, but might weaken their excuse for doing it.
Onlooker – would Teoh’s belongings have been taken away from him if he was not arrested?
One last thing occurs to me: what are the family’s wishes as regards Teoh? I understand families don’t always want to investigate the reasons behind a death. Could we be being insensitive by discussing it?
#121 by Callum on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 12:37 pm
This is certainly a testing ground for Najib. If the investigation concluded that the police is only charge on 1 or 2 small flies and case closed, then Najib will lose his integrity ENTIRELY. We do not want to see it landed an open ended case such as Lingam tape, PKFZ, Berwaja, Bank Bumiputra and many many more. Malaysia politics will become the laughing stock to the world !!
I strongly believe most of the people from the public are demanding for the true picture of who is the man who behind the scene. The process of interrogation on Teo is absolutely abnormal, brutals and inhumantarian act.
#122 by ekompute on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 12:40 pm
Nazri is as brainless as ever. Assuming that Teoh did jump out of the 14th floor, rather than the possibility of being pushed down to make it look like suicide, the logical question to ask is why did he do so? Did MACC made him temporarily deranged through their inhumane interrogation? This has to be investigated very very thoroughly as all fingers must point at MACC as the most likely cause of what happened. Bear in mind that Teoh was getting married the next day. As far Nazri, I always wonder how a man with his character can be offered any position of responsibility in government. His continued presence in government is a poor reflection of Najib’s ability to pick the right people to govern the country. (Personally, I have absolutely no respect for Abdullah Badawi at all. He proved himself to be a junk, 100% pure junk, so I won’t comment on him for letting Nazri be his one-time defacto Law Minister.) What has Islam to say to all these, I wonder.

ekompute, Dr Mahathrir ever commented, Nazri is the JUNK MINISTER. From this incident, it is well describes he behaviours. A TRUE JUNK MINSTER !!
Over to Teo’s case, I believe there are bunch of big crooks behind the scene who manupulated the case. It is certainly politicized, someone is giving such instructions to do this, if not, MACC will not carry out such brutal act.
My intuition tells me, Khir Toyo is one of the suspect who manupulating the scene.
#125 by frankyapp on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 1:46 pm
The MACC should be held responsible for the tragic death of Teoh Beng Hock. Teoh was its witness .He was grilled for about 10 hours until the wee hours of dawn,then let him free. MACC should have sent him home but chose not,why ? Next moment,he fell from the 14th,fl.of the MACC building.Could these two incidents not related ? I think not. For Nazri to say “Teoh just jump off the building “is inhumane. Nazri also gave me the impression that he was there and witnessed Teoh just simply jump by himself from the 14th of the MACC building.I hope he will go to any nearest police station now and make his statement,perhaps as first witness .I remember ISA was used to protect the safety of a newspaper reporter but how come the authority this time didn’t use ISA to protect Teoh as he’s an important witness of the MACC ?. MY,the minister of Education said the government must remain consistent and not flig/flog of its policy while commenting on the PPSMI. So how come,it’s not consistent in Teah’s case. Hence MY,you flig/flog again in a matter of less than a week.
#126 by ekompute on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 1:49 pm
Who were the eye-witnesses who saw Teoh jumping out of the building? All MACC people? Any people who speaks the truth or can be trusted to speak the truth? LKS asked: “… how did Nazri know that Teoh “jumped out” of the 14th floor of the building?” Well, I don’t think anyone bothers what Nazri says. He is known for talking for the sake of talking… and without brains, as we all know. And when does MACC responsibility for Teoh ends? After he leaves their interrogating office or after he leaves their premises?
#127 by Onlooker Politics on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 3:30 pm
“Onlooker – would Teoh’s belongings have been taken away from him if he was not arrested?” (OrangRojak)
OrangRojak,
By the inference from the information being disclosed by the other detainee who was detained at the meantime as Teoh Beng Hock, it seemed that the MACC interrogation on Teoh was never a friendly discussion. As a normal detention procedure in Malaysia, all the removable personal belongings of a detainee would be recorded and the record had to be signed by the detainee before the removable personal belongings were taken away by an MACC staff for safekeeping at a locker. Before the removable personal belongings had been given back to the detainee, the detainee was required to sign the “taken back” confirmation on the record. If the MACC officers did not follow this procedure, then the detention might be conducted in an illegal manner. If the detention had been conducted in an illegal manner, then the MACC staff involved could be prosecuted for operating a private lockup and committing the crime of illegal torture on the detainee. The officers who had carried out a detention on someone without following the designated proper procedure of the MACC should not be given the legal immunity.

On behalf of the family of the late Mr. Teoh Beng Hock I would like to curse the ancestors dead or alive and all their descendants born and unborn staring from thge Bastard MACC chief and to all his team.
On behalf the family of the late Mr. Kugan I would like to curse the Bastard IGP and all his police officers esp those at the USJ police station.
Beware all you Bastards, the curse has already started on Koh Hong Sun. Mr. LKS I hope you print my message as it is written. I feel very strongly about it.
#130 by OrangRojak on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 5:08 pm
Why don’t you take time to attend Teoh Beng Hock’s funeral?
I avoid funerals as much as I can Onlooker. I wasn’t trying to be controversial with the ‘insensitive’ question. I know of one Malaysian family who didn’t want a loved one’s sudden death investigated by strangers. I was asking out of politeness. If I came to your house, I would ask before eating all your chocolate. I would probably start eating, then ask – like in this case, but I would still ask.
In the interests of getting straight facts, could someone post an URL for Google Maps or similar showing the place Teoh’s body was found, and (if possible) the location of the MACC offices? I had a look at Google Maps, but I couldn’t be sure I was looking at the right building, and there seemed to be a lot of clouds on the images of the area.
Malaysia Star has the pathologist report?

#131 by OrangRojak on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 5:18 pm
Hmm just posted a comment with an URL in, and it isn’t showing, neither is it shown as ‘in moderation’, but when I tried reposting (in case I made a mistake) I read “you’ve already said that!”
When Tan says Teoh was in the ‘pantry’ at 6am, what does he mean by ‘pantry’? It can’t be what I understand to be a pantry, as that conjures up a very odd image.
#132 by OrangRojak on Saturday, 18 July 2009 - 5:30 pm
Interesting… The Star and Malaysian Insider both have stories about the initial pathologist findings. Interesting to see who the state government were planning to engage as their pathologist – I was only recently reading about her.
You see Onlooker? The state spokesperson was ‘respecting the family’s wishes’ – that’s what I was really asking about (my longer answer has disappeared).
I wonder if the pathologists were able to confirm that the injuries sustained were consistent with a fall from the 14th floor, and were they sustained where the body was found?

OrangRojak,
You have to learn to understand that it is normally not the Chinese Philosophy which will insist that the survivors of a victim who died in injustice must seek justice. The Chinese Philosophy encourages the weak and helpless people to endure in the pains and sufferings when they are in adversity. Vengeance should not belong to a person but it should belong to God. The onus of an individual person is to take good care of his/her family.
As the soon-to-be-born baby is going to be the NEW HOPE for Teoh’s family, it is all too normal for Teoh’s family members to want to stay away for further trouble in order to save their life for the sake of the anticipated baby.

OrangRojak,
From the newspaper report, I could see that Teoh’s family members were burning some incense at the death scene. So I presume that Teoh’s family believe in the Chinese Traditional Belief, which suggests that the corpse of a deceased should be handled respitefully and should not be given further wounds with the post-mortem operations, lest an unhappy spirit of the deceased will cause bad fortune falling on the survivors.
Because of this traditional belief, many Chinese people will give much more priority to the soul tranquility of the deceased than to the urgency of finding the truth!
