I am angry and sad today.

Teoh on the phone


Teoh later.WHY?

I am totally numbed by anger and disbelief at yet another case of suspicious death in the hands of the authorities. If normally it is the boys in blue that stands accused of having a hand in such suspicious deaths, today it is the MACC.

The MACC is the re branded/refurbished version of the old ACA. This re branding exercise was to have instilled confidence and belief in the people that corruption would finally be eradicated in the land of Boleh. Sadly recent events gives the impression that the powers in the MACC are only to be used against certain individuals/parties that do not belong to the BN government. The recent investigations into how the disbursements of state allocations in Selangor are conducted is one such example. The public impression is that the MACC only investigates officials from the opposition led states. How then does one explain the lack of such intitiatives in the states of Perak , Melaka and Sarawak?

How then can one explain the case of one former Menteri Besar who despite having publicly admitted to having an opulent and lavish house not being treated the same way it had been treating people who do not belong to the BN coalition? I also recall how a certain state assemblyman having spent RM500,000.00 of state allocations in a few weeks did not have the same treatment as well? What about the recent UMNO elections wherein despite the said party's disciplinary board finding certain individuals guilty of money politics were also not given the same treatment? What about our DPM promising the people of Manek Urai a brand new bridge if they voted for the BN in the recent by elections there? Surely that cant be seen as not being tantamount to corrupt practices? Despite there being reports made to the MACC, did they even bother to investigate?

Supposing the MACC did investigate...did the MACC call the people mentioned above to come to the MACC offices at about 5 pm in the evening for their statements to be taken down? Did the MACC then continue taking "statements" from these people until say 3.45 AM? For as the MACC says it has to complete taking down statements within 24 hours! Would the MACC also deny these people "who are very important witnesses" the right to have legal representation during questioning?

Why would someone in the prime of his youth, looking forward to his marriage in two days time would even want to consider jumping off a building? I don't know about you, but the moment I am told that I can leave, I would surely leave. I would also be making frantic calls to my loved ones that I am coming home to allay any unnecessary worry. The last thing I would want to do would be to request the MACC for accommodation for the night i.e on the eve of my wedding day!

Something in this story just doesn't add up. I also don't like the way the police is saying that there is no foul play at this moment. The cops say that at the moment that there are" no suspicious circumstances" into the death to believe otherwise!

I am just lost for words at this point. I shed tears for this country. What is happening to us?
