acting only....dont worry...he he he.!!!!
The royal panel investigating Teoh Beng Hock’s death has asked for the CCTV recordings of the DAP aide’s entire stay at the then Selangor Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Shah Alam two years ago.
Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) chairman Tan Sri James Foong also ordered the MACC to provide a list of its officers who were present in its office in Plaza Masalam when Teoh was there before his fatal plunge from the building on July 16, 2009.
Investigating officer (IO) ASP Ahmad Nazri Zainal said today that Anuar Ismail, the MACC investigator in its probe against Teoh’s boss Ean Yong Hian Wah, had said there were three or four unidentified anti-graft officers involved in Teoh’s overnight interrogation.
Ahmad Nazri said, however, that Anuar claimed he could not remember who those officers were.
“As I said, (I only know that) two officers interrogated Teoh,” said Ahmad Nazri.
“The first is Ashraf Yunus from MACC in Shah Alam and (the second is) Arman Alias from Putrajaya,” he added.
Teoh, 30, had been the political secretary to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong and a witness in MACC investigations into his employer for suspected abuse of state funds.
The young man was found dead on the fifth floor corridor of Plaza Masalam after an overnight interrogation by MACC officers in their office on the 14th floor of the same building.
Foong ordered MACC to obtain a list of its officers who were in Plaza Masalam from 6 pm on July 15 2009 to 2 pm the next day.
Ahmad Nazri said Teoh had entered Plaza Masalam at about 6 pm on July 15 2009 and that the latter’s body was found between 1 to 2 pm on July 16 2009.
The Federal Court judge also told Ahmad Nazri to get a copy of CCTV recordings of the building from 8 am on July 15 2009 to 2 pm the next day.
Ahmad Nazri said an MACC officer had given him a list of 67 anti-graft officers who were in their office during the time Teoh was there.
“I believe this list was done based on punch cards,” said Ahmad Nazri.
“But some punch cards were not punched out. So I can’t create an accurate list,” he added.
The IO also admitted that he did not compare all the punch cards, which he had confiscated from MACC officers there, to the name list.
“I compared it to several punch cards and they tallied,” said Ahmad Nazri.
He also admitted that he merely relied on the list supplied by the MACC and did not probe further to ascertain the identities of the officers present when Teoh was in the graft-buster’s office.
Ahmad Nazri has confessed to bungling twice in investigations up to now.
The RCI had ordered him yesterday to return to the site where Teoh’s body had been discovered to search for a missing watch almost two years after the political secretary’s death.
The instruction came after Ahmad Nazri admitted that he had not thoroughly searched a drainage hole near Teoh’s body for the watch which could have indicated the time of death.
Ahmad Nazri also said earlier today that he had made a mistake in identifying MACC officers in his testimony during the 17-month long coroner’s inquest, which had returned an “open verdict” ruling out both suicide and homicide.
Foong said it was pointless for the commission to examine the punch cards or access cards of MACC officers to determine their presence in their office as not all of them had punched out.
“No point suggesting something that is not practical,” said Foong in response to Bar Council lawyer Christopher Leong’s suggestion for the commission to do so.
The inquiry resumes tomorrow. It has three months up to April 25 to compile its report to the King.
