Teoh Beng Hock's death...

will any one or more persons be held responsible?

He was forced to commit suicide by three rogue officers who interrogated him over many hours, though merely as a witness and not even a suspect, over a measly Rm2,400 expenditure which made MACC look ludicrous.

Most people would presume the officers were under orders from someone, otherwise why would they spend overtime over such an obviously trivial matter? Most people would also presume they were trying to get Beng Hock to implicate his boss, Ean Yong. Who would want to do that, if not those who were most eager to run down Selangor state government? If past incidents were anything to go by, are the three rogues going to be merely transferred to another government department as 'punishment'? I am sure fair-minded people would expect a deterrent punishment meted to them in order to deter others from acting cruelly beyond their call of duties. A sufficiently harsh punishment might even bring about confessions that they were under orders. Anything short of a jail sentence will not suffice. Officers who are corrupt need to be reminded that they will be held responsible for their actions. We have had enough of cases where huge sums were involved yet no culprits were successfully charged. Where it involved homicide, if not murder, then justice must, more than ever, be seen to be done.

  1. Do the rakyat even believe the conclusions of this report? Having a Royal Commission is one thing, the perception of the public is another.
