SHAH ALAM, July 17 – Police may release its initial findings into political secretary Teoh Beng Hock’s death tomorrow which has sparked an outcry over the country’s anti-graft probe into opposition lawmakers and its interrogation techniques.
No arrests have been made but police have begun recording statements from witnesses and are awaiting the preliminary autopsy report carried out at the Klang Hospital.
It is learnt that Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar will release the preliminary findings tomorrow.
The 30-year-old Teoh, who worked for Selangor state exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead yesterday on an adjoining building to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam.
He had been questioned at their office on the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam till 3.45am before he was allowed to leave, according to the MACC, but was found dead on the balcony by a janitor at 1.30pm.
After the autopsy today, his family members performed a Taoist ritual to lead home the soul of those who died violently at the balcony of where his body was found.
Accompanying the priest was his elder brother Teoh Beng Kee, his younger sister Teoh Lee Lan and fiancee Soh Cher Wei.
The management of Plaza Masalam allowed only family members to enter the balcony on the 5th floor of the building, so the ritual could be performed .
The group emerged about 20 minutes later and Lee Lan, who was in tears, were seen calling out Teoh’s name so his sprit could followed them home.
He is expected to be laid to rest at his home town at Alor Gajah, Malacca on Monday.

My heart aching seeing mother, father, brother, sister & finacee who lost their love one thro this unreasonable interrogation.
Don't the MACC realise that this young man too have their love one waiting for them to come home!!!
Just image if your love one in the same faith as Teoh.
You have no love for the Malaysian, whether they are malay, chinese, indian, iban or kadarzan, you just care for yourself & Umno interest.
Whether I'm right or wrong. Who ever did this to the young man, God & you should know the truth.
Not only Teoh will not rest in peace, you will not sleep in peace for the rest of your life until you confess your sin.

when so many issues cannot be accounted for, it is difficult to believe any official statements or reports issued by one department on another. who would release anything damning?
it all boils down to peter scratching paul's back and paul scratching in return, just so the status quo may be maintained.
even if the real truth is revealed now, most would view it negatively considering the emotionally charged atmosphere right now, and the public's believe that it is near impossible for someone to go in alive and walking out dead.
perhaps a truly independent body whose members have impeccable and unsoiled credentials should be set up to include members from affected parties, and such reports should hopefully assuage the suspicions of the public.
at the end of the day, the authorities must ensure that anyone who is involved in teoh's death should be brought to face justice.

Forget the report...I know what it'll say anyway.
I can get pizza delivered faster than calling a policeman, I can get a tow truck faster at an accident site before the police arrive...why do I need some incompent fool to tell me how the man died.
isn't this the same joker who said that Kugan's family went into the mortuary by force, when we all saw the video of the warden letting the family in?
i don't need answers from HIM!

We generally know the official (MACC) version of his death. Other versions could exist based on the answers to the following:
1. Whether procedure was followed in interrogating a witness for 11 hours overnight (5pm - 4am).
2. Have video recordings of the interrogation been made to ascertain methods used.
3. Since an autopsy was done, for how long was Teoh dead prior to 1.30pm Thursday (this being the time his body was first sighted as per MACC's account).
4. Teoh was reported to have been unwilling to leave even after his interrogation ended at 4am. How many times in the past were witnesses unwilling to leave or was this the first ever case?
5. Were his mobile phone records perused indicating calls or messages to family/lawyer confirming his intention to leave or remain?
6. The angle his body was found and the lacerations on his face and limbs most likely resulted from a slip, a leap, a throw or a push?
7. The buttock portion of his trousers were ripped. Was the ripped portion found? If it ripped as he fell it should be somewhere on the building wall.
8. By examining the ripped portion or his torn trousers, it could be established what was the most likely angle Teoh was when his pants ripped.
9. Did the autopsy indicate whether injuries not due to a fall were found on his body?
10. Was it established whether he was found on the same side of the building where the interrogation room is? Or was interrogation done in some other part of the building and was the area on the ground floor on that side examined?
I don't have high expectations of PDRM however, I hope, in some way light could be thrown on what actually happened.

I agree with dave sometimes i think that we have to set aside a fee to get their service fast...anyway i really feel that this time we the rakyat of malaysia should come out together peacefully doesnt matter our background or political stance and show our feelings towards this shocking incidents. Its time for us to really pressure the fed.government & PM to show real reform in judicial, police & MACC conduct.
If people like Teoh who have position is not safe how does a common people like us will fare like if it happens to us? Please friends put pressure on them in a peaceful way at least say our thoughts by writing in newspapers or send letters to Najib to show our grave concern. Maybe this will help...

As an immediate measure perhaps all interoggation should be video taped continuously. This could be used as material for instigation purposes. Lawyers should be allowed to attend such interviews if a person is called only for fact finding and not suspect for the crime.

The spirit of Teoh Beng Hock must seek vengeance. You and the culprits RESPONSIBLE for your death are the ONLY persons who knew what exactly happened!. Everyone is just guessing.
Remember, GO AFTER THEM! Give the killers sleepless nights and nightmares. Don't show any mercy. REVENGE YOUR DEATH!!!
We are very very sad and 'to-lan" (very angry).

Public anger will not dissipate if the police say "no foul play" Don't insult the intelligence of the rakyat. Give us a good explanation why his trousers was torn. Were they holding him by his pants before he fell?

The dogs did the job for their masters.
Will the satisfied masters not protect their dogs?
Even the former DPM was badly beaten up (claimed to be self-imposed injuries) and proudly paraded for the world to see. What chance does a simple citizen of the pendatang kind have with polis and ex-polis? Just like AS, C-4ed. So what?

Have independent overseas pathologists and expert to investigate. Any investigation by any of the Malaysian authorities and agencies cannot be trusted. They are the enforcers and they are the criminals as well!!

b) No sufficient evidence, case close.
c) Sudden death
d) Taking a fresh air near the window and accidently slipped to his death
Guess which option does Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar will use tomorrow..?

Why is all those good n kind ppl all being taken away? Where is the justice? When is all the nation dare to get unite n speak out their voice? The sky under this country is getting darker n darker.. Like dynasty qing is seems like getting nearer.. The king rule the nation who claims he is doing for our own goods.. Harlow everyone.. Wake up! Think with your heart.. C the truth with your heart.. Sometimes the truth ain't just wat we c n listen.. Shit.. This is a shame being a part in this country.. The good one lost.. The bad one rule.. Wtf which the world is looking at our country.. Who really really can safe us from darkness..Pray hard everyone.. Especially for those who love this country n hope can live a good life here..

Since now everyone scared n worry especially be an assistant in pkr.. N leader.. Wake up.. Split team to solve the problem not fighting each other i believe it's hard to get evident from the office.. If this really being planned.. Be rational n stay claim there would be more n more gotta sacrifice.. Be wise not to act like gangster to fight for justice.

No need to do anything lah, we do not trust our police.
