SHAH ALAM: A man died after having fallen off Plaza Masalam here where the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has its office on the 14th floor.

The man is believed to be Teoh Beng Hock, political secretary to Selangor executive council member Ean Yong Hian Wah, who was taken in for questioning by the MACC Wednesday evening.

Teoh Beng Hock was the political secretary to Selangor executive council member Ean Yong Hian Wah.

The body was discovered by a janitor at 1:30pm on Thursday on the fifth floor of the building. Police have yet to give a positive identity, but DAP officials say it is Teoh.

According to police sources, Teoh was released at 4am on Thursday after having been held overnight. He was supposed to have returned later Thursday with several documents requested by the MACC.

Selangor Chief Police Officer Deputy Comm Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar, who confirmed that a body had been found, said police would be interviewing the man who was last seen with Teoh.

"There is not going to be any cover-up in investigations and I assure the public and his family we will conduct a thorough investigation into his death.

"We have requested for private and government pathologists to be present and assist us in our investigations," he said.

Several Selangor executive council members were at the scene Thursday afternoon.

DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang said he and other Pakatan Rakyat leaders would be meeting the MACC at 10am on Friday.

On Wednesday, MACC officers raided Ean Yong’s office at the state secretariat building. They seized a desktop computer belonging to the state government, as well as a personal laptop belonging to Teoh.

Teoh, a 30-year-old former journalist with Chinese daily Sin Chew Jit Poh, was taken to the MACC office to assist in its investigations over the alleged abuse of constituency development funds.


SHAH ALAM, July 13 – Pakatan Rakyat (PR) today claimed that seven of its assemblymen are under investigation by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the allocation of funds to schools, mosques and community associations.

The assemblymen are Teresa Kok (Kinrara), Ean Yong Hian Wah (Sri Kembangan), Dr Cheah Wing Yin (Damansara Utama), Elizabeth Wong (Bukit Lanjan), Hannah Yeoh (Subang Jaya), Lau Weng San (Kampung Tunku) and Edward Lee (Bukit Gasing).

Teresa Kok told reporters at the state legislature that the MACC confiscated the seven assemblymen’s files on the state’s allocation fund from the district office two weeks ago.

The seven assemblymen are now asking why the MACC were only targeting them and are wondering if there was any racial discrimination or because they are from PR.


“In my case, I donated RM10,000 to a surau in Puchong but now the imam and the mosque’s working committee have been interrogated by MACC officers for several hours two days ago. They will come and interrogate them again tonight

“We are only fulfilling our responsibilities but why are we being reprimanded by the MACC and why only the seven of us. Is it because we are Chinese?” Teresa told reporters in the state assembly’s hall.

Wong, who was also at the press conference, added that the action by the MACC was purely a scare tactic.

She said she lodge a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Advisory Board of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

Wong also claimed that when Barisan Nasional assemblymen lost in the 12th general election, the assemblymen spent RM500,00 in two months but the MACC had yet to take any action.

Kok was angry that MACC “misusing their powers to threaten and scare Malaysians.”

“They are really scared. Just because they receive allocation for the state government from Pakatan assemblyman, they have to be interrogated for several hours? What is MACC’s motive? I give money to the mosque, so must they conduct interrogation on this?” Teresa added.
