By Melissa Chi, The Malaysian Insider
KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 — Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said today he was not sure when the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) report into the death of Teoh Beng Hock would be made public.
“You have to check with KSN’s office because on the implementation of our decision, it is the secretariat of the Cabinet, you have to ask the chief secretary when, I wouldn’t know,” he told reporters after officiating the Commonwealth Magistrates’ and Judges’ Conference 2011 here at the Royale Chulan Hotel.
He was referring to possible publication issues.
Nazri said he had on July 6 submitted the report to the Cabinet and it had unanimously agreed to make the report public.
He said the government had no reason to keep the 124-page report under wraps, as the RCI was set up under public pressure.
Teoh, 30, the political aide to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009, after giving his statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
