Prioritise justice for Beng Hock in 6-month reform vow, DAP told

PETALING JAYA: DAP should prioritise seeking justice for the late Teoh Beng Hock in its pledge to accelerate reforms in the government over the next six months, says the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement.
The group’s chairman, Koong Hui Yein, said DAP had pledged to do so for more than a decade, organising annual memorials for the former political aide, but had failed to produce tangible results.
“Failing to include Teoh’s case in its reform agenda would betray the years of support from tens of thousands of people,” said Koong in a statement.
Teoh, an aide to then Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009 on the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, Selangor.
He had been questioned for several hours by officers from the Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, which was on the 14th floor of the building at that time.
An inquest into his death initially returned an open verdict. However, in 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled that his death was caused by “one or more unknown persons”, including MACC officers.
In November last year, the High Court ordered police to complete their long-delayed investigation into the death of Teoh more than 15 years ago.
However, this was eventually classified as requiring no further action (NFA) in May, prompting calls for DAP ministers to resign from the Cabinet.
Koong said allowing the police to classify the case as NFA was an example of how DAP and Pakatan Harapan had failed to honour past promises to correct injustice.
She claimed the decision was no different from the Barisan Nasional government’s announcement in 2016 that Teoh’s death had no criminal element.
On Dec 2, DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook said the party would work closely with the prime minister to accelerate reforms over the next six months, following DAP and PH’s drubbing in the Sabah polls.
Singapore’s Straits Times had quoted sources as saying DAP had also discussed leaving the administration if reforms were not expedited.

Let us not forget Teoh Beng Hock
Alas, someone in the DAP might have forgotten
The evil that was perpetuated on a young manBy a Nazi-like organization that has been rotten
Yet easily forgiven by a political flash in the pan
All for grubby politics, none for integrity nor justice
For a man slain on the very eve of his wedding day
Oh we weep, what treachery to become so solicitous
To abandon principles, an evil crime now is gainsay
When is the MACC going to hand over to the police the person responsible for the untimely death of Teoh Beng Hock?

DAP leader Lim Kit Siang shook hands with Rohaizad Yaakob, a top Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) official to show the opposition’s solidarity with the MACC Yet just a year earlier Kit Siang in his article, titled "Malaysians will not rest until justice is done for the killing of Teoh Beng Hock" said DAP and Pakatan Rakyat would continue to highlight the injustice of Teoh Beng Hock’s unresolved murder what utter bullshit |
But I haven't!
When is the MACC going to hand over to the police the person responsible for the untimely death of Teoh Beng Hock?

Forgetting Teoh Beng Hock
Hey, my late name was Teoh Beng Hock
Is that even in your memory
Or just a wee footnote in history
My story soon to become mere talk-cock
Those who sinned against me
Cursing my family with veritable untold woes
Making Er Jia a fatherless baby
And those men with no pity
Have become icons by you, your new heroes
Thou faithless headless chooks
Cursing my family with veritable untold woes
Making Er Jia a fatherless baby
And those men with no pity
Have become icons by you, your new heroes
Thou faithless headless chooks
Have further insulted my already grieving family
Giving the enemy support but not rebukes
Ever greater pain my family now brooks
All because of your sad self-interest treachery
Giving the enemy support but not rebukes
Ever greater pain my family now brooks
All because of your sad self-interest treachery
Bhai once said don't be immoral
In desperately seeking victory without morality
Nor should one be ever unethical
But safeguard and value our principle
To never sacrifice and replace with hypocrisy
In desperately seeking victory without morality
Nor should one be ever unethical
But safeguard and value our principle
To never sacrifice and replace with hypocrisy
YOU UNMITIGATED HYPOCRITICAL BASTARDS!
