TBH RCI: Virus wipes out investigation notes? WTF

I have reproduced most of the MK article below (FMT article also quite thorough), but let me summarise a bit.
Arman Alies was the MACC officer who interviewed Teoh Beng Hock the day/night he died. A rough chronology:
15 July 2009: Arman interviews Teoh.
Before 18 July 2009: Police interview Arman about Teoh’s death.
18 or 19 July 2009: Arman finally writes down notes from interview in investigation diary (“first version”)
Approx September 2010: Virus “wipes out” Arman’s laptop, necessitating reformat. Soft copy of original report is thus “lost”.
August 2010: Arman writes second version of investigation notes from Teoh’s July 2009 interview from memory.
14 March 2011: At Royal Commission of Inquiry, discrepancies between the first and second versions are highlighted.
My comment is short: this is ridiculous. A virus wipes out a report? (Need Jackie Chan’s / Lee Chong Wei’s Kaspersky? :| ) Investigation notes are reproduced more than a year later FROM MEMORY?
Can one really blame the public for losing faith in the process? Or Teoh’s family and the Selangor state government from refusing to legitimise this farce?
Sigh.
PS – Turns out, MACC is represented by lawyer Shafee Abdullah. Write-ups by Howsy & RPK.

Thank goodness some brave Malaysians are willing to step up for justice.
