SHAH ALAM, 21 July 2009: Kajang Municipal Councillor Tan Boon Wah arrived at the Selangor police headquarters last night to give his statement to police to assist investigations into the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock, 30, at Plaza Masalam on 16 July.
Tan arrived at 9pm with his wife and lawyer.
Teoh, who was the aide to Ean Yong Hian Wah, the Selangor state executive councillor for New Village Development and Illegal Factory Taskforce, was found dead last Thursday on the roof of the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam after being questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Earlier, Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar had advised Tan to present himself at the police station since he had made a police report against the MACC last Saturday.
Tan had earlier refused to give his statement to the police.
Khalid had said if Tan failed to give a statement on the report he had made, a notice would have to be issued under Section 11 of the Penal Code to order him to give a statement at the station, or face the prospect of being charged for making a false report.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said today that police would call 40 people to assist in the investigation on Teoh's death. — Bernama
