The de facto Law Minister, Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has given a very lame excuse why the Attorney-General is not pursuing legal action against Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers on Teoh Beng Hock’s death following the James Foong Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) Report – telling Parliament yesterday that no police report has been lodged over the matter.
Why didn’t the Attorney-General Tan Sri Gani Patail direct that a police report be lodged on Teoh Beng Hock’s death based on the findings and new leads in the James Foong Royal Commission of Inquiry Report? The finding of the James Foong RCI into the death of Teoh Beng Hock (TBH) that “TBH was driven to commit suicide by the aggressive, relentless, oppressive and unscrupulous interrogation by certain officers of the MACC”(Para 119) is not acceptable as it is mere speculation and not backed up by evidence.
There are however sufficient reasons from the RCI report why a high-level special investigation squad should be formed to break the conspiracy of “blue wall of silence” (RCI Report) of MACC officers to pinpoint and to bring to book Beng Hock’s killers as well for prosecution for crimes committed in the process, viz:
The above six reasons primarily from the James Foong RCI report are strong enough for the Attorney-General to direct that a police report against MACC officers should be lodged and vigourous prosecution pursued and that there should be no cover-up in ensuring that Teoh Beng Hock and his family secure justice in the case.
However, if the Attorney-General refuses to lodge any police report against MACC officers based on the RCI report, then a police report would be lodged so that the Attorney-General would have no excuse for inaction in acting against MACC officers responsible for Teoh Beng Hock’s death.
