Cops to consult AGC to complete Teoh Beng Hock investigation

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) may seek new testimony from existing witnesses that could provide additional insights into the investigation of Teoh Beng Hock’s death, following the court’s directive yesterday.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Razarudin Husain said the Attorney General’s Chambers will also be consulted to complete the investigation.

“We have established the USJT (Specialised Criminal Investigation Unit) to carry out and finalise the investigation as directed by the court. The six-month timeline to complete the investigation is achievable.

“While we will adhere to this order, discussions with the AGC regarding the available evidence are essential for us to proceed,” he said after the closing parade of the 2024 Basic Police Training Programme at the Police Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur today.

The event involved 1,747 inspectors, sergeants, and constable trainees from Kuala Lumpur, Dungun, Bukit Sentosa, and Segamat.

Yesterday, the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered PDRM to complete the investigation into the death of the former political aide within six months.

The order was issued by judge Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh (now Appeal Court judge) after allowing the application for a judicial review filed by Teoh’s parents against the IGP, director of the PDRM Criminal Investigation Department, PDRM, and the Malaysian government.

Teoh was found sprawled on the fifth-floor landing of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, Selangor, on the morning of July 16, 2009, after providing a statement at the MACC office located on the 14th floor of the same building.

He was the political secretary to the then Seri Kembangan assemblyperson Ean Yong Hian Wah, who is also the former Selangor state executive councillor for local government, new village development, and illegal factory legalisation.
