Ean Yong: Teoh was arrested
By Neville Spykerman, The Malaysian Insider
Despite the authorities being very careful to repeat that Teoh Beng Hock was questioned as a witness and not a suspect, his boss Ean Yong Hian Wah insists he was arrested.
The Sri Kembangan assemblyman says the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) clearly arrested Teoh a day before he was found dead.
The Selangor executive councillor said he attempted to see Teoh at 11.30pm on July 15 while he was being questioned by the MACC but an officer refused to allow it.
“The officer told me they had the right to question him for 24 hours,” said Ean Yong after being questioned by the police at his office at the state secretariat.
With Ean Yong today was his lawyer Keppy Wong.
“Teoh’s movement was restricted, this amounts to an arrest,” said Wong.
