The majority of Malaysian bloggers feel the same with the passing of Teoh Beng Hock in such a tragic manner.
The immediate response from readers is similar, all are dismayed and disgusted by the attitude of the authorities, no amount of consolation can soothe us, worse still when the ministers continue bashing and warning us (the general public) by saying not to point the finger at MACC.
We are too grieved to bother because far too much manipulation has happened. It is not an issue of supporting opposition political parties, many citizens are apolitical. But the inability of the government to answer questions such as these is enough to make people turn a deaf ear.
There was one guy who responded and disagreed with what I wrote. I later checked his blog; he is in fact an Umno supporter. But this does not mean all Umno supporters agree to what has been happening. It's time to see problems from other perspectives not just from one side.
See what I wrote earlier,
"MACC is responsible until they can prove they are not, under the law based on the present materials available from the media, while in their premises invited by them. And he was under their custody. Not to indulge in law, I' m grasping at logic. How did he die? Jumped down? Why did he jump? A few of those who knew him said no sign of him likely to commit suicide. Interrogation till wee hours if he was not a suspect was it not beyond or within the power of MACC?"

"Kadayan Firstly if you are going to invoke tort, you must at least get it right lah. Plaza Masalam does not belong to MACC, and I am quite sure that public areas in the building such as corridors lift lobbies and fire escape routes are also not theirs to rent. Those areas are the responsibility of the building owner.
Secondly if he had been released from the interrogation and custody then he is no longer under their responsibility This is not splitting hairs, you want to go into the details then you must be correct and accurate with the details OK?"
So far these are some of the findings;
The police have confirmed that he fell through the window of the 14th floor (MACC office) and landed on the roof of the 5th floor podium?
They have confirmed that a piece of the window latch was found near the body and a matching broken latch was found in MACC office.?
There is a contradicting statement by Dato Syukri Abdull with regards to the time Teoh was questioned. The CCTV showed that he entered the building at 515pm.
What I'm trying to put across here is the same sentiment now beginning to be shared across the nation regardless of racial, religious and cultural differences. Walls are broken make no mistake, we've learnt a great lesson, stand up we must, otherwise we would be forever be vegetables in the eyes of the authorities.
