The AG and IGP should resign – Stephen Ng
AUG 18 – It doesn’t take a foreign pathologist, Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand to tell us that, in the event of a crime scene investigation, any notes found should be immediately sent for forensic examination.
A young boy following the CSI series on TV would have answered the giveaway quiz question without any difficulty!
Here is one case which had attracted so much attention nationwide. Across all walks of life, people are interested to know if Teoh Beng Hock had been murdered. If a murder can be carried out in the name of suicide, we are anxious with the state of our nation.
The fact that Teoh was about to get married, and that he was merely a witness in the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) interrogation into a case involving about RM2,000 used to buy Malaysian flags, is sufficient to discredit the suicide theory altogether. A person who fell to his death in a suicide case would not have back pockets that are torn or broken belts.
Only very few people with absolutely little sense of judgement (a.k.a. silly old goats) would believe that a man in his early thirties, who was going to be a father soon, would commit suicide by jumping down from the MACC office on the eve of his wedding.
Right from the beginning, when I heard that Teoh’s watch and other personal possessions were still with the MACC, it was already very clear that when Teoh died, he was still officially being detained by the MACC.
This has raised doubts about the MACC’s credibility.
Now, while it may be subjudice for me to comment about the case further, I wish to say that the Attorney General and the Inspector-General of Police should immediately resign for bringing both the AG’s office and the police force, respectively, into public scorn.
Why was the so-called “suicide note” never sent for forensic examination, when it should have been a protocol in all criminal scene investigations? Is this case telling us that, in the entire police department, no one pays attention to the proper procedures?
And if the Attorney General’s office had known about the suicide note in the beginning, the AG should immediately throw the file back to the investigation officer and demanded for forensic examination. Why the delay?
Why, amidst all the bad publicity this case is generating for the MACC, the police, the AG’s office and the Government, is this note being surfaced at the eleventh hour?
The thought of it being written by Teoh Beng Hock is enough to make one vomit. How could justice be further thwarted, when the rakyat clearly want to know whether this young man was murdered in the first place! How are you going to convince us that Teoh was not murdered, he merely committed suicide?
