Teoh Beng Hock Inquest


Shah Alam Magistrate Court No.5

"Justice for Beng Hock" is what every right-thinking Malaysian's desire, on this case of tragic death of this witness called to the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) office in Shah Alam.
I was personally encouraged that justice would be done and the truth would be pursued when the Government appointed a private sector criminal lawyer Tan Hock Chuan to assist the Coroner in this inquest. I think my brethren would do his very best not to disappoint us.
At the end of the 10th day session, and after 16 witnesses, particularly the 2 medical forensic experts' "consistent" findings, the conclusion was pointing towards a "Suicide death". This is one
"unpopular verdict", if at all, and there would be theories put forward as to why should a young man in his early 30s, about to get married the next day, would have chosen this way to end his life? Or the populace at large would be forced to accept this case as another mysterious unsolved crime in the country.....
Then came this letter, which was handed over to G Singh, the lawyer who is on a watching brief for Beng Hock, at the end of the 18th August hearing. The Court has the agreement from all the lawyers who had a copy of the letter, not to reveal the content of the letter until the Police is given time to investigate .... and the next session of inquest due next Monday, 24th August.
However, this is Bolehland... and the letter has been posted in the cyberspace.. and it will be voted "The Most-Read Bahasa Malaysia Letter Over The Weekend" in the country of 23 million people plus a few millions concerned citizens overseas. It is 5-page long (typed and unsigned) and purportedly printed on the MACC letterhead, originated in PutraJaya office and authored by a group of MACC officers. A top ranking officer of MACC and a politician were named and could have direct bearing on the inquest proceedings to come...
The shit has hit the fan? The truth is about to be revealed.....??
