Day +1115 : What a response!

I am fine today.

Our PM insisted that he is adhering to laws to set up an inquest to investigate the circumstances surrounding Beng Hock’s death. I find his response disgusting and sickening.
"We must adhere to the laws of the country. Please don't take (political) advantage of this case. Our intention is to find out the truth," he told reporters in Bangi.

"We are interested in the truth. Whether in the form of royal commission or an inquest, we'll find the truth and the truth will be made public and that's the most important thing.
I have a few points to make regarding this:

  1. Najib should point out which law of this country prevents a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to probe into Teoh’s death. If there is such law, why both current and former Bar Council chairperson, Ragunath Kesavan and S Ambiga, said that RCI should investigate the death rather than the inquest?
  2. Given the pass records, nobody trusts that an inquest presided by a magistrate will reveal any truth. Even there is no question of integrity or corruption, which is most likely not the case, the limited power vested in the magistrate will render him helpless to find out any truth.
  3. There is no ground to warn opposition not to take political advantage of this case. The simplest reason is that this case is political motivated and therefore, should by all means remain political. And we shall not only take advantage but also to vote out any corrupted government through awareness generated from this tragedy.
See you next post :-)
