Please help Lee Lan and the family. I felt a sad kick when I saw TBH's mother hugging his son's
potrait probably to hypnotise the witness or whoever have done the mysterious actions leading to the death of TBH. Who knows, the souls of the powerful 7th month Hungry Ghost Festival will help the Inquest to nab the culprits. Real mysterious death as till todate no one is arrested.
Teoh family lashes out at MACC on kickback claim
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 31 — The family of the late Teoh Beng Hock condemned the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for claiming in the coroner's court last week that the DAP political aide had received “kickbacks”.
“Why must Mohd Anuar (Ismail) defame Beng Hock?” Teoh Lee Lan, the younger sister to the 30-year-old political aide, lashed out against the MACC investigation officer who was the 17th witness in the ongoing inquest.
“The MACC has always maintained that Beng Hock was a witness in an investigation. Now Mohd Anuar has alleged that he was 'on the take',” she said, in an email statement to The Malaysian Insider last night.
Mohd Anuar, under questioning from the MACC lawyer, Datuk Abdul Razak Musa, told the coroner's court on Aug 26 that Teoh had personally received money from a private company totalling RM112.
The other lawyers, from the Teoh family lawyer Gobind Singh Deo to the lawyer from the Attorney-General's Chambers assisting the coroner, Tan Hock Chuan, objected strongly to Abdul Razak's line of questioning.
Teoh's boss, first-term Selangor DAP executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah who sat in when Mohd Anuar testified, has reassured Teoh's family that the claim is “totally baseless” and that he has all the documents to prove his innocence.
The RM112, Ean Yong told them, is a refund for an earlier payment for a banner.
The coroner, magistrate Azmil Muntapha Abas, ordered court officials to expunge the statements from the records.
But Lee Lan said: “The damage has been done.”
On behalf of her family, she demanded that the MACC show proof to back up its allegation immediately, or publicly apologise to the family for defaming her deceased brother.
“Proof is needed for truth and justice to prevail,” she said.
“To make a serious allegation against a person who cannot defend himself is malicious and is totally unacceptable,” she added.
The 28-year-old auditor from Alor Gajah repeated her plea for anyone with information on her brother's death to step forward and pass the details to Gobind.
