| Justice Denied; No Closure for Teoh Beng Hock’s Family Posted: 05 Apr 2012 12:19 AM PDT Media statement by DAP Assistant National Publicity Secretary-cum-MP for Serdang, Teo Nie Ching, on April 5, 2012: Yesterday was Qingming (or Tomb Sweeping Day), a Chinese festival that is marked by people tending to the graves of departed ones.
This is the 3rd year that Teoh Beng Hock's family is visiting his grave in Semenyih. We note with profound sadness that it has been almost 2 years and 9 months since Beng Hock was found dead on the rooftop of the 5th floor of the same building that houses the MACC headquarters on July 16, 2009, and today we are no closer to finding out the truth.
After the Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas returned an open verdict into the death of Teoh Beng Hock, a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) was set up to probe the death of Teoh Beng Hock and the circumstances surrounding and contributing to his death. A 124-page report was then presented to the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong on June 22, 2011.
The RCI report clearly pointed out that Arman Alies (the investigation officer known as "the bully"), Mohd Ashraf Mohd Yunus (the assistant investigating officer known as "the abuser") and Hishammuddin Hashim ("the arrogant leader" who is also former deputy director of MACC Selangor) were guilty of excessive use of violence on Beng Hock, therefore the police have more than enough reason to commence investigations against the trio for possible offences under Sections 304 and 304A of the Penal Code, namely for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and for causing the death of Teoh Beng Hock by negligence, respectively.
Apart from that, there were 10 MACC officers who gave false testimonies during the RCI proceedings. They should be investigated under Sections 191 and 192 of the Penal Code for giving false evidence and fabricating evidence to protect certain parties from being held responsible for Beng Hock's death.
