8 Mar 2011 – Mohd Ashraf Bin Yunus was today called as a witness at the RCI-TBH.
He was tasked to assist one Arman to question Teoh Beng Hock. Arman is apparently from MACC Putrajaya, while Ashraf, on the other hand, is an officer from MACC Selangor. Ashraf used to work in a factory as a production operator with a SPM qualification. He joined MACC about 5 years ago.
Doing examination by counsel, Ashraf admitted that statements are usually recorded by the officer interviewing the relevant person. However in this case, while Arman did in fact take notes of the interview with Teoh Beng Hock, another MACC officer by the name of Nadzri was the officer who recorded Teoh Beng Hock’s statement.
