Khalid asks again for royal commission on Teoh’s death

By Neville Spykerman
SHAH ALAM, Oct 21 - Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim today reiterated the call for a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate Teoh Beng Hock’s death rather than just looking at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) interrogation methods.

He said the RCI proposed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to investigate the MACC’s methods of interrogating the dead political aide should be extended to cover how he really died.


Renowned Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip Rojanasunand testified today at an inquest that there was an 80 per cent likelihood of Teoh’s death being a homicide rather than suicide as suggested by one of the Malaysian pathologists who carried out the autopsy.

The federal government had rejected earlier calls for an RCI to investigate Teoh’s death and, instead, an ongoing inquest is being held at the Shah Alam magistrate court to determine if there was foul play.

MORE TO COME
