So someone who dares to speak up appears! KUDOS to...

Tan Boon Wah!

Tan, who is also a Kajang municipal councillor, was at the scene of the crime to be at the MACC Headquarters where a young man died a MYSTERIOUS, TRAGIC DEATH (please read yesterday's Blog post by Raja Petra Kamarudin who has had tasted similar Police medicine...) in the course of political duty!

Teoh looked "tired" says man who saw him last

SHAH ALAM (July 17, 2009) : A flag supplier who was one of the last persons to see Teoh Beng Hock alive at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office yesterday morning said the political aide to Selangor exco Ean Yong Hian Wah was hunched over and looked tired.

Tan Boon Wah, who is also a Kajang municipal councillor, was being interrogated by the MACC over the supply of flags for the Merdeka programme, about the same time Teoh was there.

At a press conference today, Tan told reporters he last saw Teoh at 6am in the pantry when he went for a toilet break during the interrogation, which took place from 10pm on Wednesay until 1.35pm yesterday. Also at the press conference was Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim and several Pakatan Rakyat state assemblymen.

Tan described his interrogation ordeal at the hands of MACC officers, whom he alleged forced him to stand for four hours while they questioned him.

"Four MACC officers came to my house at Bandar Mahkota Cheras at 8pm on July 15 and took me to their office in Plaza Masalam," Tan said.

"When we got there, they asked me to wait in a room which had a cabinet and a broken chair on which I was told to sit. At about 10pm, two officers came in and told me to stand up.

"(One of the officers) then told me to stand in attention and look straight ahead before questioning me about my family," said Tan, who added that he was forced to keep standing for four hours.

Tan said the officer told him that he was now in their territory, and that (the officer) had the power to beat him up.

"The officer pointed a finger right between my eyes and asked, 'Don't you love your wife and kids? Do you want us to bring in your wife too? Then there will be no one to look after your kids, or maybe we can bring them in too'," Tan said.

Tan said he was also taunted about his job as a local councillor and accused of using public funds for his own gains.

"They also threatened to strip me several times, but I would not allow it," he said.

An MACC officer also warned Tan not to disclose what happened during the interrogation because it would "cause you a lot of problems" and "cause me a lot of problems".

The councillor said the queries were focussed on the supply of 1,500 small flags at a cost of RM2,400 to Ean Yong for use during Merdeka programme organised by the latter’s office last year. Tan said the officers had insinuated that he never supplied the flags although the money was paid to him.

Tan said he was allowed to take a drink at 2am. He said the officers were nicer in the morning and brought him breakfast.

He added that he saw Teoh at the pantry on his way to the toilet at 6am.

The councillor said he was finally released at 1.35pm and told to return with the relevant receipts and documents on July 20.

Attempts by theSun to get the MACC to comment on the allegations were unsuccessful.

From The Malaysian Insider, another update, another expose of the MACC's backside:(


Another victim of MACC’s ‘racism’?

PETALING JAYA, July 18 — Is the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) racist?

DAP member Dariff Din is buttressing that claim, saying today he was a victim of racial remarks by the body’s interrogators looking into alleged misappropriation of state allocations by DAP state lawmakers.

Dariff, who is assistant to Kampung Tunku assemblyman Lau Weng San, is the second person to make the claim after Kajang municipal councillor Tan Boon Wah who made the same allegation yesterday.

“They asked me if I was Chinese or Malay and I told them that I was Malaysian but they kept insisting on my race,” Dariff told reporters at the DAP Paramount service centre when relating details of his interrogation on July 15 by MACC officials.

He said they were mainly interested in his ethnicity rather than the case itself, adding the officer was curious because he looked Chinese but had a Malay name. He told them his father was Malay and mother was Chinese.

“Everything went smoothly after they learned that I was a Malay Muslim,” Dariff said, adding he was questioned about his background for another hour before they asked him how Lau’s office spent the state allocations.

The investigator went through all the files they seized from Lau’s office, Dariff said, adding he was surprised the officer even asked if anybody had attended the programme even though there were photos to prove the event was not a hoax.

“They told me that now there are computers, so the photos can be made,” he added

After the interrogation was complete, Dariff asked for the written statement but the officer refused and claimed it was against procedure and it was a secret.

“How can it be secret when I made the statement?” Dariff asked, adding he was questioned from 4.30pm until 9pm that day.

Dariff also asked the interrogator why he was being investigated when there are bigger cases like the PKFZ.

“It is not our jurisdiction, it up to the head office. We are only Selangor,” he quoted the officer as saying.

Dariff added that he was allowed to roam freely in the office and claimed he saw Teoh Beng Hock being escorted to the back of the MACC office at 6pm. Teoh was found dead a day later outside the building.

Lau has now instructed his assistant not to attend any interrogation in the MACC office until the investigation is complete and there is royal commission inquiry into Teoh’s death as their personal safety is at risk.

He said he believes the MACC has no proof but is fishing for evidence against opposition assemblymen and is using scare tactics to get them.

Apart from Lau’s office, the MACC officers also raided the service centres of Teoh’s superior, Selangor state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah. They only introduced themselves as MACC officers and demanded Dariff go to the MACC office for questioning.
