///The implication of Ahmad Said’s statement is crystal clear – he is blaming Teoh’s death on suicide for being unable to withstand the pressure of investigation by the MACC// – YB Kit

So what would the MACC Chief Commissioner have us believe? Maybe this:-

Interrogation/investigation ended at 3.30 am July 16th (Teoh’s statement was being recorded between 1.30am and 3.30am – MACC deputy superintendent Mohd Anuar Ismail’s testimony in the Inquest). To commit suicide, the person must be in acute mental depression, which is normally in the midst or immediately after the marathon non-stop high-pressure interrogation. But lo, TBH here hanged around in MACC’s nest Plaza Masalam for more than 3 more hours. (TBH was seen by Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Wah, in the MACC pantry at 6am probably for the last drink or meal!) After 3 hours he must still be under depression, so he looked for food to alleviate?) This was one heck of a depression that lasted at least 5-6 hours after pressure interrogation ended (since his death was around 8 or 9 am)! Must be one kind of interrogation!

He would not want to commit suicide in any other place. He chose Plaza Masalam as the place because he was technically under MACC’s custody and being imbued with anti government propaganda, he wanted to implicate the MACC that he was being pushed off the ledge by others. So he walked to window on 13th Floor. Surprise surprise no MACC officer around; no one saw him.
The window frame on 14th Floor was dusted by police for fingerprints but the results were negative because the window was dirty and dusty. The main crux of the police findings here is that there was dust at the window frames and it has not been disturbed. Before he jumped out, TBH must have made doubly sure that he left no markings or finger prints on the dusty window frames, no shoe prints on the dusty window ledge that would have left behind forensic tell tale signs that he “jumped” or rather dived out out at his own accord in suicide! (This was just so to implicate someone in MACC throwing him out). So complete was this thought of implicating the MACC that even if he thought of saying farewell to his two-month pregnant fiancée and family – even when he had a ball point pen in his pocket – he refused to do so!

Then he did a fantastic thing not easy for anyone to repeat. He hauled himself from his own belt to throw himself out of the window, which explains why forensic found a “strained patterned tear on TBH’s belt!

Problem is there were DNA traces from “Unknown Male 1” and another male source found on the tear region of TBH’s belt and the back of his blazer. Ah that’s because government pathologists were negligent. The DNA came from contamination by previous autopsies performed on the table not otherwise cleansed.

The whole episode is much regretted by the MACC. The lesson to be drawn is that it will make interrogation less strenuous especially on witnesses. This will be revision in the manual book on interrogation. Otherwise by year-end it might have the unenviable record of beating ICAC record of 12 suicides of those weak-minded that would jump out of high-rise buildings due to pressure of interrogation!

Typo correction – “So he walked to window on 14th (not 13th Floor)….”

///Kit,You have been repeatedly calling for these 42 goons to act but they are plain dumb – no talk, no action. I think they stay there to take their allowances for doing nothing./// – DAP Man

I understand there are 3 Pakatan Rakyat MPs including DAP National Deputy Chairman and MP for Kepong Dr Tan Seng Giaw amongst the 42 MACC advisers. Is that true? If so, can you get them to rally the rest to do something, failing which to resign?

Ask Hong Kong’s ICAC deputy commissioner and head of operations Daniel Li, who had such high praises for our MACC Act that he had given advice to confirm whether ICAC knows anything about the 10 cases of people investigated by ICAC who threw themselves off from high-rise buildings since the establishment of ICAC…
