The late Beng Hock's family today expressed their disappointment and rejected the Cabinet's "Inquest + Royal Commission of Inquiry" decision as being “neither here nor there” to guarantee justice for Beng Hock.
They wanted to meet the PM soon to tell him that they had expected a Royal Commission of Inquiry to find out the truth behind Beng Hock's death in its entirety.
Beng Hock’s youngest sister Teoh Lee Lan, 29, who spoke for the family and cried the most, said:
“We were elated when we first got the news but then later felt disappointed when it became clear that the Royal Commission would only investigate MACC’s procedures while the inquest would be carried out to probe my brother’s death.“This is not what the family wanted as we had made our request known to several ministers, including Najib’s political secretary (Dr Oh Ei Sun), when they visited us last week.”
This is the Teoh Family's statement in its original form, in Chinese:
“对于首相昨天宣布的内阁决定，我们起初听到会成立皇家委员会，感到很欢迎，但是，现在我们知道了整个内容，我们很失望没调查明福的死因。这不是我们家属要的，我们要的是，全面的皇家委员会。为什么明福会死在MACC总部，我们全家不能接受内阁的决定，只是成立皇委会调查MACC的盘问程序。
我代表家人，要求首相及内阁改变决定，来设立一个全面的皇家委员会，特别是来查出明福的死因。"
Yesterday, immediately after Najib announced the Cabinet decision, this blogger was among the first in the country to state the reasons why Beng Hock has been short-changed and cheated. Read here.
