The High Court here dismissed an application for a judicial review to stop a witness in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest from testifying.
The application was filed by Datuk Abdul Razak Muda, who is holding a watching brief for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), to stop T. Sivanesan from testifying in the inquest.
Sivanesan alleged he had been tortured by Selangor MACC officers in Plaza Masalam in September last year.
On Wednesday, coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas allowed Sivanesan to testify despite objections by Abdul Razak as he (Azmil) had earlier ruled on Tuesday that Sivanesan’s report was relevant to the case as his alleged torture took place at Plaza Masalam and the officers involved could be the same men who interrogated Teoh.
On Thursday PJ High Court judge Justice Yeoh Wee Siam ruled that there was nothing illegal, incorrect or improper with the coroner’s ruling and asked all parties to proceed with the inquest.
The inquest, being held at the Shah Alam Magistrates Court, however has been adjourned to 9am Friday.
Sivanesan’s testimony on Wednesday could have been expunged if the High Court had ruled that his evidence was not relevant.
Teoh, who was the political secretary to Selangor executive councilor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was summoned to the MACC office located on the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam here on July 15 to be questioned over the alleged irregular disbursement of state funds.
He was found dead at the building’s fifth floor service corridor the following day.

Off course it is relevant. It goes to show that torture and violence were used to extract information from witness / suspects. This MACC have more brawn than brains. They are not fir to be anti corruption officers. They do not have tact and the intelligence to arrest corruption. Hooligans in suits
Actually Razak should eat cow dung and go for further night classes on law. It is common knowledge that opponents in court always get witnesses and evidence to prove the character of the other party. Razak is so heartless that he considers caning the victims testicles is irrelevant? We want him to show us his testicles and ....
Thanks to Justice Yeoh Wee Siam. He restores some confidence in the judiciary.
The main purpose of the coroner is to get to the bottom of the case. Common sense will tell you that if there is no torture at the MACC, why would TBH "committed suicide"?
If it involves the same place and probably the same persons, why should Sivanesan's testimony not be accepted? In fact, the wrist wounds found on TBH corresponds to the truth in Sivanesan's testimony that one is subjected to abuse and torture while he is being hand-cuffed!
If the MACC claims that it's image is being smeared, then by all means rebut or defend the allegations in the coroner's court. The coroner already has placed some restrictions on Sivanesan's police report on how it is to be argued in court. Is that not enough for MACC? By asking the higher courts to forbid the testimony of torture, then might as well as don't have the coroner hearings in the first place because nobody can ever die in the MACC if they are just chit-chatting there!
MACC must have something terrible to hide if they ask the courts to forbid the torture testimony! I have a sneaking feeling the Court of Appeal might subsequently agree with the MACC to cover up the case. If that is the case, TBH's family should go back to Najib to demand for a RCI.
Now, Abdul Razak Muda(coverer of murder), trying to prevent justice being done to Sdr Teoh beng Hock by trying to get the High Court to stop the witness who was tortured by MACC mobsters in Sept. 2008. MACC(Murder And Cover-up Commission) mobsters have deprived an uborn child of a father, robbed a wife of her husband & income earner and stole a loyal, hardworking & upcoming son from a Malaysian couple. Well, you still trying to cover-up the murder of Sdr TBH just likened to the murder of the pregnant Mongolian model committed by those in the corridors of power.
God knows who the real murderers are, there is no escape. Those who committed the murders must pay for the crime committed. God have mercy on you.
