[RCI on Beng Hock's Death] My questions to RCI and Nazri

Posted: 21 Jul 2011 07:12 AM PDT

The commissioners' conclusion that Teoh Beng Hock had committed suicide was strengthened by psychiatric findings that the latter was "weak in character. I strongly disagree with that. People weak in character would not have given up his job as a journalist and joined politics, especially when his family did not really support his decision. Beng Hock knew what he wanted. He was a man with his own ideas and vision. He was not "weak".

3 MACC officers were found to have continuously used interrogation tactics that were “agresif, tidak wajar, maka langgar peraturan” (aggressive, inappropriate and therefore in violation of the regulations), as a result of such inhumane approach, Beng Hock was driven suicide. As raised by Mr. Lim Kit Siang: Is "forced suicide" suicide or homicide? Is TBH's death caused by more than "forced suicide"?

Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM) will release 200 copies (in BM & English) of the TBH RCI report tomorrow. RM45 per copy. My question is: why so limited copies? Why can't JPM just upload the report on the internet and let people download it for unlimited times and for free?

KUALA LUMPUR, July 21 — A royal commission has ruled that Teoh Beng Hock committed suicide as a result of pressure from aggressive and continuous questioning by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers.

The MACC officers had wanted to pressure Teoh to be a witness in their case against a DAP assemblyman for alleged abuse of public funds.

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Nazri Aziz disclosed the finding today which, he said, was unanimous.
