It has been awhile since my last post but that's because I have been on holiday and also busy with work that keeps me alive. A lot have happened since then.... deaths in custody, Teoh Beng Hock's (TBH) death, allegations of corruption of Pakatan leaders etc. and TBH's death making the headlines more than any other news for the past week. So many questions asked and a lot unanswered. As a result, an inquest is being held to answer those questions in relation to TBH's death.
The inquest started today (29/7/09) at the Shah Alam Magistrates Court. Gobind Singh Deo is acting for TBH's family, Malik Imtiaz, Ashok Kandiah and I are acting for the Selangor State Government, Hisham Teh Poh Teik, Rajpal Singh and Salim Bashir are acting for the Bar Council and Tan Hock Chuan is acting for the prosecution. The coroner is Tuan Azmil Muntapha.
We received documents from the prosecution today and managed to get an adjournment to peruse the documents. We were given all post mortem reports, Chemists reports, photographs, plans and all reports and documents pursuant to the investigation of TBH's death.
We were also informed that there are 90 more chemists reports to be served and 12 more to be completed.
The coroner allowed the adjournment to 5th August 2009 to enable parties to study the documents forwarded. The prosecution informed the court that 80 witnesses were present in court today to give evidence.
I shall try to post updates of the inquest as and when the matter proceeds in court. Meanwhile if you would like another view on TBH's death, read rights2write.wordpress.com.
