No need for RCI to probe Teoh’s death, says Soi Lek

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 — Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek today dismissed calls for a royal commission to probe Teoh Beng Hock’s death, whose scope has been limited to anti-graft investigation methods.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced the formation of a royal commission of inquiry (RCI) to review the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigation procedures.
“The Attorney-General already said he would file for a revision (of the verdict) to look into the cause of death,” Dr Chua told reporters today.
On Wednesday, the Coroner’s Court returned an open verdict in Teoh’s inquest, which means it could not ascertain how the 30-year-old DAP political aide had fallen to his death in 2009.
