PETALING JAYA: The Shah Alam High Court will hear an application for a revision of the open verdict judgment in the Teoh Beng Hock inquest on Jan 31.
The Teoh family’s lawyer, Gobind Singh Deo, said that Justice Datuk Mohtaruddin Baki would hear the case at 9am.
“I haven’t had a chance to speak in person to the family,” he said.
Meanwhile, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said yesterday that it was still “not too late” to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry to probe into the cause of Teoh Beng Hock’s pre-fall neck injury.

Meanwhile, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said yesterday that it was still “not too late” to set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry to probe into the cause of Teoh Beng Hock’s pre-fall neck injury.
He said in his statement that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had pledged his commitment “to unravel the mystery” behind Teoh’s death in Tenang on Tuesday.
“If so, it is not too late for him to meet the demands of Teoh’s family and the overwhelming majority of Malaysians for an inquiry,” Lim said.
He also questioned Najib’s silence on the purpose of Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail’s application to revise the “Open Verdict” inquest finding, and whether he sought a revision to “Death by Homicide” or “Death by Suicide”.
Teoh, the political secretary to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009 on the fifth floor corridor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, Selangor after he had given a statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in the same building.
