Teoh’s ‘wife’ in hospital to deliver baby

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 — “Baby Teoh” may be born today.

Soh Cher Wei (picture), the 28-year-old teacher who was engaged to be married to Teoh Beng Hock, was taken to Hospital Batu Pahat in Johor at 9am for an operation to deliver their baby by Caesarian section, a source close to the family told The Malaysian Insider.

“May not have delivered yet but should be in operating theatre,” the source added, but was unsure about the reason behind the C-section delivery.

The late Selangor political aide’s sister, Teoh Lee Lan, was unable to shed further light on the mother’s condition when contacted.

“I’m not really sure about this right now. Clarify with you later” she replied through a text message.

Soh was inducted into the Teoh family according to traditional Chinese rites last October, and was two months pregnant when her fiancé was found dead.

The couple was scheduled to register their marriage last July 17, which was dashed following Teoh’s untimely death.

The 30-year-old political secretary to Selangor executive councillor, Ean Yong Hian Wah, had been questioned overnight by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigating claims his boss had misused state funds.

His body was found sprawled on a 5th-floor corridor outside the MACC office in Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam the next day. The mysterious circumstances surrounding his death are still being investigated by the coroner’s court.
