KLUANG, July 18 — The establishment of a royal commission to investigate the death of Teoh Beng Hock, political aide to a Selangor executive councillor, should not be done hastily as the investigation into the case was still at the preliminary stage.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said discussions on the proposed commission would be carried out in detail before its implementation.
"The discussion will be in detail. We don't know yet the decision, so we have to act rationally," he told reporters after attending a police-community programme at Felda Ulu Belitong here today.
Hishammuddin, who is also the Member of Parliament for Sembrong, said the investigation would also be carried out in a transparent manner.
Teoh's body was found on the balcony of the fifth floor of the Plaza Masalam building in Shah Alam on Thursday after he was believed to have fallen from one of the upper floors of the building which houses the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Teoh was one of the witnesses in the MACC investigation into the alleged misappropriation of Selangor state government allocations. — Bernama
