Kit Siang wants Najib, and not the MACC, to take responsibility for Beng Hock’s death

Beng Hock was a DAP officer. That is why Kit Siang keeps harping on Beng Hock’s death. Kit Siang does not care about the 500 other deaths because there is no political value or mileage in talking about those deaths. Not once has Kit Siang mentioned the 500 other people who also died while under custody.

Lim Kit Siang and Najib Tun Razak are still engaged in a war of words regarding Teoh Beng Hock’s death, which DAP has classified as murder.

Kit Siang said, Najib may not have personally thrown Beng Hock out of the MACC building, but since Najib was the Prime Minister at that time then he must be held responsible for Beng Hock’s death.

The strange thing is Beng Hock was being detained by the MACC, not by Najib. But Kit Siang blames Najjb and not the MACC for Beng Hock’s death. However, nine years ago, Kit Siang accused the MACC of murdering Beng Hock. Today he blames Najib.

Actually, Beng Hock is not the only person to have died while under custody. Human rights movements said an estimated 500 people have died while under custody over the last 30 years. Does Kit Siang hold the three Prime Ministers over those 30 years also responsible for those 500 deaths?

Worse than Beng Hock’s death are the 18 people who were killed in Memali. Since, according to Kit Siang, the Prime Minister must be held responsible for people who die under his watch, is Kit Siang then saying Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is responsible for those 18 people who died in Memali?
