This morning, I joined my party leaders to pay our last respect to Teo Beng Hock at his family home in Alor Gajah.

I noticed both Umno's Najib and MCA's Ong Tee Keat have sent their wreaths to the Teo's family, expressing their condolences.
However, it's saddening that the Umno-owned Malay papers have started to paint racial innuendos in their Op-Ed pieces as follows:
1 ) Mingguan Malaysia: Antara misteri dan politiking
2 ) Berita Minggu: Kematian Teoh timbulkan pelbagai spekulasi politik
You may read an English summary of these two devilish Umno-controlled papers's venom in Malaysian Insider.
Through the Chinese press in Malacca, I called for calm to all mourners expected to turn up for Teo Beng Hock's funeral tomorrow morning
We need to respect the wishes of the deceased's parents who wanted a smooth last ride for their son, despite insisting that they wanted truth -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth -- from a Royal Commission of Inquiry.
They won't take any report from the MACC or the Police for an answer.
I hope the Umno-owned Malay papers who incite more hatred towards Najib. MACC and its chief Ahmad Said Hamdan had done much to sabotage Najib's credibility as the agency is parked under the Prime Minister's Department.
I have also discussed with my comrades in Malacca, YB Sim Tong Him and Saudari Kerk Kim Hock, to ensure all banners for tomorrow's funeral are properly filtered so the Malay papers' racial undertones will not be allowed to incite any untoward incidents.
Teo's death is a political murder. We shall avenge all wrongs politically and democratically.
As we bid farewell to Beng Hock, we want a smooth last ride for him.
