PETALING JAYA: The MCA Youth Legal Bureau urges the police to immediately reopen the investigation into political aide Teoh Beng Hock's death.
The Court of Appeal on Friday overturned a Coroner's open verdict in an inquest into Teoh's death five years ago, ruling out the possibility of Teoh committing suicide.
"Such findings of the Court of Appeal only raise more questions in the minds of not just the family and friends of the late Teoh Beng Hock but members of the public who have been following the case closely," said MCA Youth Legal Bureau chairman Choo Wei Sern.
Choo said that some of the questions raised were what actually transpired at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Agency (MACC) the night Teoh died, what caused his death, and if Teoh was murdered.
"These are questions that the police must answer and the answers lay in a thorough investigation that must go to the rock bottom of the matter," said Choo.
"It is important that the police, as well as the authorities involved, leave no stone unturned in the investigation and they shall do so swiftly in order to restore public confidence in the police and the authorities involved.
"Not only that, the police must carry out its duties professionally in order to bring the culprits before the courts of justice, in order to achieve justice for the family, relatives and friends of the late Teoh Beng Hock," said Choo.
