PARLIAMENT | Lawmakers across the divide have pressed Putrajaya to clarify whether high-profile deaths involving public institutions and systemic accountability gaps could be probed by a proposed tribunal to deal specifically with human rights issues and violations.

In particular, Teresa Kok (Harapan-Seputeh) questioned whether the tribunal would be able to investigate the tragic 2009 death of Teoh Beng Hock, who was found dead after overnight questioning at the Selangor MACC headquarters.
