Summary
- Environmental activist Wong Tack criticises Pakatan Harapan over its alleged lack of commitment towards finding justice for Teoh Beng Hock.
- The former DAP MP for Bentong claims Harapan was only riding on Beng Hock's issue to gain votes.
- He says the same also happened to the protest against Lynas rare-earth materials processing plant in Pahang.
Former DAP leader Wong Tack has slammed Pakatan Harapan for turning their back on the family of political aide Teoh Beng Hock, who was found dead at the Selangor MACC office in Shah Alam 17 years ago.
Wong (above) claimed that Harapan only championed the death case because they could use it to gain votes.
The environmental activist pointed out that the same happened to the protest against Lynas's rare-earth processing plant in Gebeng, Pahang.
"All they care about is gaining votes to secure their positions.
"The moment an issue they once championed loses political traction, they won’t bother to waste an ounce of effort or a single minute of their time on it.
"And if they face backlash from the people for failing to fulfil their promises, they resort to unscrupulous tactics to protect themselves.
"Their political machinery will be unleashed to spin the issue. Skewed narratives will be constructed to manipulate public perception," Wong said in a statement.
Teoh Beng Hock’s sister Teoh Lee Lan
The former Bentong MP was responding to a teary plea by Beng Hock's sister Teoh Lee Lan, who questioned Harapan's commitment towards securing justice for her brother's case.
Lee Lan had told a Malaysiakini podcast that her family remains trapped in a long, painful wait for answers and closure.
This followed the police's decision last month to close their reinvestigation into Beng Hock's mysterious death and classify it as no further action.
"Where did your promise of answers go? Why is it now NFA?’
"To be honest, what I really want to ask is this: to all those in Harapan who once stood by our side, why have you changed?" Lee Lan reportedly said during the Chinese-language podcast.
Showing true colours
To this, Wong believed that it was not that Harapan had changed its attitude.
Instead, he claimed, the ruling coalition only showed its true colours after getting into power.
"They haven’t changed, Lee Lan. This is their true nature," Wong said.

Teoh Beng Hock was found dead at the Selangor MACC office in Shah Alam 17 years ago
In 2009, Beng Hock, an aide to then-Selangor state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead after overnight questioning at Selangor MACC, which was then headquartered at Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam.
A 2011 Royal Commission of Inquiry ruled that he was driven to suicide due to aggressive interrogation.
However, in 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled his death was caused or accelerated by unlawful acts, including those of MACC officers.

At least in the sad case of Teoh Beng Hock I fully agree with Wong Tack. The first in DAP to treacherously abandon Teoh BH had benn Lim KS. Read below for his sickening ultimate betrayal of TBH:

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!
