Something I didn’t want to let pass unnoticed. TMI:
What need could there be for such after hours interrogation?
Especially since we are dealing with the MACC and corruption cases here, what case could possibly be so urgent that it cannot wait until the next day?
Are the MACC so unprofessional that they cannot schedule their work for normal daytime hours like anything else?
I can understand if the police need special provision for *certain* cases (let’s say the PM’s wife is kidnapped. although. you’d need quite a few men to pull that off), where time is really urgent.
Other than that though, what is the point? It’s only benefit seems to be to intimidate detainees (which authorities have proven time and again they are perfectly ‘competent’ at doing regardless of the time of day).
I too was questioned after hours, and I seriously do not see the need for it.
On the other hand, what are the potential cons? Oh, I don’t know, maybe people falling out of buildings? >:(
Would Teoh have ‘fallen’ out of a window if his interrogation had taken place in the day?
I cannot help but feel that this is just more and more cases of justice being denied – of bad precedents, and total lack of reform, even after someone has died as a result of this policy.
Another recent development in exactly the same vein:
How much longer will we put up with this rot in our government? >:( - By Nathaniel Tan
The Federal Court shut the door today on further challenges to the right of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to question witnesses beyond office hours.I seriously don’t understand >:( Let’s do a simple cost benefit analysis.
The apex court dismissed unanimously Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Wah’s appeal against a Court of Appeal decision which went against an earlier High Court ruling he won to limit the time anti-graft officers could question witnesses.

Another recent development in exactly the same vein:
The coroner in the Teoh Beng Hock’s inquest has rejected his family’s application to initiate contempt proceedings against Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nazri Abdul Aziz.This arrogant, pathetic excuse of a minister is still bringing so much heartache and pain to family members who have already suffered so much.
Teoh’s younger sister Lee Lan, 29, who was in court, was visibly upset by the decision.
“If he is only an ordinary person, he will have no influence, but he is a minister of the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) and he is able to get the AG’s Chambers to represent him. How can we believe there is justice in our judiciary?”
Lee Lan also expressed her disappointment at the prime minister for not responding to the family’s demand that a letter on Pornthip’s safety be issued so that the Thai pathologist could come to testify.
“I don’t understand, is this too much too ask?”
She also criticised the premier for his silence on Nazri’s statement against Pornthip.
“Does it mean that the PM agrees with Nazri?” she choked, with tears welling up in her eyes.
