Police May Seek New Testimony to Gain Further Insights into Teoh Beng Hock Investigation

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) indicated that they may re-examine existing witnesses as part of a renewed investigation into the death of Teoh Beng Hock. This development follows a recent Kuala Lumpur High Court order mandating the completion of this investigation within a six-month timeframe. The police intend to consult with the Attorney General’s Chambers to assess the existing evidence and determine the path forward.
Re-engagement with Witnesses Planned

The Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, stated that the police force has established a Specialised Criminal Investigation Unit (USJT) specifically to undertake and finalise the investigation as directed by the court. While the six-month timeline is considered achievable, Razarudin emphasised the necessity of discussions with the Attorney General’s Chambers regarding the evidence currently available to the authorities.
Court Mandates Six-Month Investigation Deadline

The directive for PDRM to conclude its investigation into Teoh Beng Hock’s death within six months was issued by Judge Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh. This judicial order came after the court granted the judicial review application filed by Teoh's parents. Their application was made against the Inspector-General of Police, the director of the PDRM Criminal Investigation Department, PDRM itself, and the Malaysian government.
Circumstances of Teoh Beng Hock's Death

Teoh Beng Hock was discovered deceased on the morning of July 16, 2009, at the Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam. His body was found on a fifth-floor landing, several hours after he had provided a statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office, which is located on the 14th floor of the same building. At the time of his death, Teoh was serving as the political secretary to the then Seri Kembangan assemblyman, Ean Yong Hian Wah.
