The Malaysian Insider reported yesterday that the family of Teoh Beng Hock expressed outrage with the Attorney-General’s Chambers for trying to tender as evidence in the coroner’s court a note they said was penned by him before he was found dead under suspicious circumstances last year.
They said it was highly “suspicious” that AG Gani Patail’s office would choose to bring up the evidence, speculated in the media to be a suicide note, as the inquiry into Teoh’s death winds down, and ten months after it was allegedly found.
In a statement released from their Malacca home today, they expressed bewilderment as to why the AG had not immediately sought their help after the note was allegedly found among Teoh’s belongings two months after his death.
They also demanded the government hire a handwriting expert to verify the note.
“The AG does not see our pain ... if the inquest has to be restarted, how are we as a family to suffer through this again?
“Is the AG trying to stop us from living normal lives?” the Teoh family said.
For those who have forgotten, this was the AG who first tried to convict Anwar Ibrahim of sodomy over ten years ago. Now, how can anybody possibly believe him? Is he taking us for a fool to believe that out of the blue, a suicide note has mysteriously emerged?
Is it any surprise the public at large is so skeptical about our Malaysian institutions, whether they are the Police, MACC, judiciary and others?
