SHAH ALAM: Kajang municipal councillor Tan Booh Wah has refused a request to give his statement to the police who are investigating the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock.
Selangor CPO Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said police had also summoned Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah and Kota Alam Shah assemblyman M. Manoharan to give their statements on the matter.
Teoh, a former journalist, was political secretary to Ean Yong.
“We have already contacted Tan but he has refused. If he refuses to come forward, we will have to summon him under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” he told reporters Monday after briefing Inspect-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan on the progress of the investigation.
Musa said the investigation into Teoh’s death was now 60% complete and promised to keep the media updated on the latest developments.
A janitor had found Teoh’s body at 1:30pm last Thursday at the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam, where the state Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission is located.
The MACC, investigating the alleged misuse of constituency funds by Selangor state representatives, had taken in Teoh for questioning on Wednesday. It was the last time he was seen alive.
Challenging the integrity or professionalism of MACC is equivalent to challenging the special rights of the Malay and the notion of Ketuanan Melayu. UMNO must jail all these Chinese people who challenge our rights!
Pembangkang harus menunjukkan tauladan yang baik dalam apa jua keadaan. Tidak ada klausa yang memberikan kekebalan kepada pembangkang, kecualilah kalau pembangkang yang berkuasa di mana ketika itu bolehlah diadakan peraturan yang memberikan kelebihan kepada pemimpin mereka.
Pembangkang jangan lupa yang mereka juga mentadbir dan perlu berurusan dengan rakyat pelbagai ragam dibanyak negeri. Bayangkan kalau dalam kawasan majlis perbandaran yang dikuasai pembangkang, orang awan terikut-ikut dengan rentak tidak mengiktiraf peranan pihak berkuasa? Apa kesudahannya? Apakah perasaan mereka?
Tidak dinafikan yang ramai mengundi pembangkang tempoh hari adalah kerana mereka percaya pembangkang mempunyai nilai baru yang mahu diketengahkan. Setahun telah berlalu, apakah ini yang dimaksudkan dengan nilai baru tersebut? Oleh itu sebelum anak murid kencing berlari, lebih baiklah pembangkang berfikir panjang terlebih dahulu buruk dan baiknya sesuatu tindakan itu.
