The Truth Unrevealed of Teoh Beng Hock's Death

Courtesy from The Might of the Pen.

I have received an email and the following questions have been asked to ascertain the truth of Teo Beng Hocks' death:-

1. Why did MACC not inform Teoh's family immediately when the body was found at 1.30pm on the 16th July?

Teoh has his wallet with him and he could be identified easily. Why did MACC not informed his family immediately which is the normal practice.

2. When did Teoh news break out?

Teoh death was not known until 6pm. What happened between 1.30pm and 6pm at the MACC?

3. When was Teoh release? Or was he ever released?

MACC claimed that Teoh was released at 3.45am on the 16th July. However the fact that MACC still kept his handphone shows that he was never released and was in custody until he was found dead.

4. Did Teoh ever left the MACC Building?

No, he didn't. The CCV recording at the entrance only shows him entering the MACC but there was no recording that he left MACC.

5. Was Teoh a witness or suspect?

MACC claimed Teoh was a witness after he is dead. However they refused to allow a lawyer to accompany Teoh during the interrogation and claimed they have the right to question him for 24 hours without allowing anyone to see him - this clearly shows that Teoh was arrested as a suspect.

6. When was Teoh last seen in MACC building?

He was last seen at 6am in the pantry.

7. When is the time of death of Teoh Beng Hock?

According to the autopsy report, Teoh Beng Hock was dead at around 8 - 9am

8. Why is the MACC door kept closed at 1.35pm?

Malaysiakini reporter Rahmah Ghazali, found out that the MACC door was closed at between 1.25pm and 1.40pm. It was reopen at 1.50pm. Why is it so? MACC should be operating on a 24 hour basis and therefore the door shouldn't be closed. "Coincidently", Teoh's body was found at 1.30pm. What is MACC doing behind closed door?

9. Why is Teoh's body not removed until 9.15pm?

Nobody is allowed to have a glimpse at the body and Teoh's body was not removed until 9.15pm. Why does it take so long to remove the body? Are they trying to hide something?

10. Why is MACC lying about Teoh's handphone?

MACC claimed that all belongings have been returned to Teoh when he was "released" at 3.45am. However the police confirmed that they got Teoh's Handphone from MACC. Why is MACC lying? It is obvious that Teoh's handphone contains important information.

11. Why is the police classifying Teoh's death as a sudden death but not murder?

The questions that the police pose to Teoh families shows that the police already presume that Teoh committed suicide and tries to mislead the family. The police is clearly protecting "someone".

Nude woman escapes being raped

Sandakan. Tuesday July 14, 2009. No place is safe nowadays when rapists have set their mind to carry out their evil intention of satisfying sexual desires by employing their own crafty and ingenious modus operandi. The incident happened to the sisters in Sandakan in the East Coast of Sabah.

A woman was stripped naked behind some bushes by a man posing as an enforcement officer but escaped being raped when the man fled after hearing sounds of people nearby.

The man had abducted the 28-year-old woman and her sister from their car outside a supermarket on Sunday night.

The sisters had parked outside the supermarket when the man, identifying himself as an enforcement officer, suddenly got into the car and directed the woman to drive to a secluded area in Jalan Cecily here.

He then fondled and molested her and assaulted her when she tried to put up a struggle .

He dragged her out of the car towards some bushes and stripped her while the terrified sister was warned not to make any sound.

Just then, the man heard people walking near the car and he fled.

The woman has lodged a police report on the incident.

Sandakan police chief Asst Comm Rosli Mohd Isa confirmed the case.

Criminal Statistics ... Sabah among the safest?

Sabah among safest states …except for flag burning ...writes Kinabalukini

"Sabah Commissioner of Police Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said a total of 1,970 cases were reported during the period compared to 2,393 cases during the corresponding period last year, a decrease of 423 cases or 17.68 per cent."  

This is far from the truth! People have already lost their confidence in the police force due to its nonchalant attitude towards responding to public complaints or reports on crime investigations.  

Of course the statistical reports compiled from the various Balai Polis are only for the consumption of the CP who will then make an announcement to the public to paint a rosy picture that his Police personnels are carrying out their duties diligently and efficiently based on the statistics made available to him.  

I had the opportunity to speak to a certain Police personnel at the Balai Polis Penampang, CID Section, that crime rate in Penampang District is ever increasing and is actually going beyond control due to the following reasons:  

a) Understaffing: The Penampang District area is too large for the existing CID Personnels to meet the various crime investigations and the demand for criminal policing;  

b) Existing Laws: The existing criminal laws need to be revised in order to keep the habitual criminal offenders off the street;  

c) Public Confidence: The inefficiency of solving crimes and the attitudes of some police personnels in responding to crime reports from the public, have eroded the public confidence due to (a) and (b) above. 

I have my personal experience. 

It is now the perception of the public towards the Police that they cannot response quick enough to investigate crimes reported to them. This is either lack of police personnels to carry out the investigation immediately, or 'could-not-careless' (or non-receptive) attitude, the former might be the more appropriate reason.  

The public are no longer eager to call the police if there is a criminal incidence taking place due to poor response from them (Police) in the past. Hence, this stigma must be wiped out if the CP wants the public confidence reinstated.

Fraudsters Emptying your Bank Accounts.

Fraudsters are emptying the bank accounts of people by tricking them

into divulging their personal financial information.

KUALA LUMPUR: You receive a call, purportedly from a bank, asking if you had just conducted a credit card transaction for goods or services.

When you answer in the negative, the caller then tells you in a concerned tone to call an agent of a commercial bank and you are given the number.

Upon calling, the agent gives you the telephone number of the "bank" and tells you to call the bank itself.

You call and someone picks up, identifying himself as an officer of the "bank". You then tell him that you did not conduct the transaction and you do not have such card. 

But he informs you that the records, however, show that the transaction had been carried out and that the card belongs to you! 

He suggests you call Bank Negara's "Unit Kad Kredit Palsu" (Credit Card Fraud Unit) and gives you the number. You then reach an automated voice message service which says you have contacted "Bank Negara".

A Bank Negara "officer" then comes on and identifies himself. He asks for your banking and credit card information so that he can lodge a complaint on your behalf. 

You then give your details over the phone and finally assured that "Bank Negara" will "look into your problem", you heave a sigh of relief.

But what you don't realise is that as soon as you have put down the phone, the fraudsters are already emptying your account, thanks to the information you had just furnished them. 

This is the latest scam that Malaysians are falling prey to.

Last year, Bank Negara received 165 complaints on unauthorised withdrawals. As of mid-April this year, there have been 265 complaints.

The losses range from a minimum of RM4,000 to a maximum of RM10,000. 

The Association of Banks in Malaysia received 42 complaints from April 1 to Friday on the scam which uses Bank Negara's name alone. 

"One of the victims who walked in a few days ago lost RM7,000," said Bank Negara corporate communications director Abu Hassan Alshari Yahaya.

There is no such "Unit Kad Kredit Palsu" in Bank Negara, he added. 

Abu Hassan said the fraudsters used a different approach before. They would SMS potential victims informing them that they had won prizes and to collect these prizes, they had to open an Internet banking account. 

If you fall for this scam, the fraudster then provides a step-by-step guide on how to register and activate an Internet banking account using an automated teller machine (ATM) terminal.

At the ATM terminal, you will be given an Internet banking personal identification number (PIN) which will be given to the fraudster.

Based on the fraudster's instructions, you also key in his or her mobile number into the ATM.

When a person conducts Internet banking, he would receive a Transaction Authorisation Code (TAC) from the bank via SMS. 

Since you have keyed in the fraudster's mobile number, this code will also be sent to him. 

"People are vulnerable when they are told they have won prizes and these fraudsters take advantage of that vulnerability. There are no shortcuts to prizes. The public need to be aware at all times."

Abu Hassan advised people to never respond to any SMS, phone calls or email asking for personal information such as PIN and passwords for banking accounts.

"Banks will never request for such personal information through email, SMS or phone calls." 

In June last year, the New Sunday Times reported that the SMS scam was so serious that the police were receiving at least one report a day.

The police said the number of scams was increasing with some victims losing up to RM1.2 million.

Ah Long The Menace

Kota Kinabalu: Sunday, April 19, 2009. The DAP claims residents here are upset over City Hall for not doing anything to stop Ah Long (illegal moneylenders) promotion activities in the city.

Sabah DAP local government and housing bureau chief, Edward Ewol Mujie, said city dwellers were growing angry towards City Hall for not putting an end to the promotional activities, pointing out they were free to distribute name cards, paste stickers on walls, hang banners and advertise in newspapers, among others.

"Some people had brought the cards and stickers to the DAP office requesting us to do something about it. They said the cards always appear on their car window and windscreen, and that the stickers are difficult to remove.

"The Ah Long activities are getting out of hand and it is about time City Hall take action to stop all those promotional activities," he said.

Two days later on Tuesday 21, 2009, the Police believed they have smashed several syndicates involved in illegal moneylending or ah long activities in Sabah, with more than 10 people detained so far, including in a raid over the weekend.

Sabah Commissioner of Police, Datuk Noor Rashid Ibrahim said they raided an office in Penampang following an extensive surveillance and found four men, three of them Sarawakians and one from Johor, aged in their 20s, inside.

"We seized 20 boxes containing documents including customer loan cards, advertisement items and name cards, among others.

"We believe they were carrying out money lending activities without a licence," he said to reporters after the monthly police assembly at the State police headquarters in Kepayan, here on Monday.

He said the documents would help investigations against the men, framed under Section 5(2) of the Money lending Act 1951 for illegal money lending, which provides for a maximum jail sentence of five years or fine of not less than RM20, 000 or not more than RM100, 000, or both on conviction.

To a question, he said none of these men was being investigated for harassment, as police did not receive reports pertaining to the matter against them.

"Only if someone comes up and reports he or she had been (specifically) harassed or roughed up can the police come in and take immediate action (against the culprits)," he pointed out. 

Meanwhile, in Singapore Island, Straits Times RazorTV's i-Witness is in collaboration between The Singapore Police Force and The Straits Times RazorTV and brought to you by The National Crime Prevention Council with the support of Shaw Foundation and Shell Petroleum.

"O$P$" or "Owe money, pay money". It is the mark of the loan sharks which is sometimes scrawled on the walls of apartment corridors. Such harassment by illegal money lenders terrorise debtors and sometimes other innocent people.

Laptop Computer grabbed and stolen by Robbers

When my laptop computer (model Compaq silver-white in colour) was robbed from my daughter while she was surfing with it at my house veranda last Wednesday, 18/03/09 at 2.00pm by two unidentified dark complexion men, I thought that the loss of that computer did not really matter much as I have another laptop computer as my own personal use in my computer room. I was wrong! All the information and documents saved inside the computer which was literally robbed right under the nose of my daughter, were far more important and valuable than the computer itself. 

I had this habit of transferring and saving all my documents and personal information, photographs and other important family documents into that computer which acts as my backup computer.

As I woke up early this morning at 5.00am and was preparing to leave for Dontozidon Church to attend the 6.30am mass service, I suddenly realised that, along with the computer, I have also lost important documents, bank account numbers and their ATM pin numbers, Credit Card numbers and their pins, and more importantly my family photographs, KSS members photographs, home made movies as well as those of personal and family friends' photographs.

I do not mind loosing those information of my bank accounts and my credit cards, but some of the documents and photographs that I had been saving since I was still working with the Government service, might be used for malicious and ill-intent purposes.

Having realized the grave consequences of having lost those documents, especially those photographs with which the computer photo shop program can reproduce beyond anybody's imagination, I had this chill down my spine. 

My family and I, including those people whose photographs saved in the said computer, are subjected to malicious intimidation and defamation in future.

I pray that the person who stole it or got hold of that computer, would delete all the information therein and keep the computer himself for good. But anyone in possession of the said computer and does not delete those documents, photographs and any other information found therein, and in the event that the computer is found in his possession with those documents, photos and other documents undeleted and identifiable as mine, will be used to prosecute against that person. 

Anyone therefore in possession of that computer, please help to delete those documents, or anyone who knows the whereabout of that computer, please call me at 0198600820.

"10-3" Thieves.

The table where my daughter Rubyanne (pix) was surfing.

                  The drinks the 'thieves' left behind.

I have just posted an article yesterday regarding thieves categorised as “pick-pocket” and “push-pocket”. Another category of thieves just happened in my own home at Kg. Babah. I categorise them as “10-3” thieves when two men who came to drink beer at SJD Kedai Runcit, snatched away a laptop computer from my daughter.

The incident happened this afternoon at 2.00pm at SJD Kedai Runcit when two guys, both dressed in black T-shirts and jeans dropped in to drink a set of beer and a can of Coca-Cola.

I was resting inside my room at that time and my 14-year old daughter was surfing with her lap-top computer outside while, at the same time, manning the Kedai Runcit. Two dark complexion Temorese-like or Bugis-like nationalities came up and ordered their drinks.

At first my daughter was accompanied by my worker who attended to these two men. While they were drinking, they pretended to order some foods and my worker went to the kitchen to prepare their order. Moments later my worker left for the kitchen, the two men grabbed hold of the computer, detached the power cord from the computer and left with it, leaving the power cable behind still intact onto the wall socket.

My daughter at once screamed to alert me when the ‘thieves’ snatched away the laptop computer from her, literally right under nose. When I came out they were already speeding away in a white car coupe fast back, which was parked, ironically, towards the main gate.

Police from Penampang was alerted immediately to inform the other Police Peronda to locate the vehicle and the two men as described above. The police arrived at the scene to take statements from my daughter at 2.39pm.

Even in broad daylight, this thing can happen at anytime, any place. 

Is this the Sign of Times?  

...............................................................................................

I was so disappointed by the effectiveness of the coordination between the 'Polis Peronda' (WNQ 6719) and the CID Section of Penampang Balai Polis. I was told to make a Police Report within 24 hours to which I agreed. The Polis Peronda personnels (3 of them) also instructed me not to disturb the beer cans and beer glasses that were left behind by the robbers as the CID personnel would be coming to dust for finger prints. This is quite normal in criminal case.

By 4.00pm, the CID personnel did not show up until I called Balai Polis Penampang. I was informed by the CID personnel that the Polis Peronda never called to inform him about the incident and the urgency of dusting for fingerprints. The finger prints, I thought, would greatly help them in the course of their investigation, or to place the finger prints into their data base.

As I had to rush for my prayer meeting at Tg. Aru, I therefore called back the Peronda personnel at 4.00pm to find out why the CID personnel did not turn up. To my consternation, he did not even inform the CID Section. Earlier on, he had assured me that he would do so. He did not call the CID and told me to call him instead. 

I called the Balai Polis at 08871222 and was connected to CID Section. I had to relate the whole story again to the Lady Personnel what had transpired. She insisted that I should come to Balai to make a formal Police Report of the incident before they could make further investigation, i.e. to dust for the finger prints. I certainly agree to this procedure. 

Earlier on, I was told by the Peronda Police Personnel to make the Police report within 24 hours. He also left his instruction not to disturb the beer cans and beer glasses on the table until the CID personnel had come to take the finger-print-dusting procedures. 

If I were to make the Police report at the 24th hour, is it logical to leave the Beer Cans and glasses on the table for the next 24 hours? Is it not to their advantage to immediately carry out the criminal investigation by getting the finger prints without delay, and which they can also use them for future investigation, or update their data base?

It was only at 6.00pm in the evening when the CID personnel finally called to inform me that he had come to my house already to do the dusting for finger prints. I sent to him an sms to his tel. no. (0193596001) informing him of my report as per my blog above.

This is a case of poor coordiantion (or refusing to talk to each other) between the two sections under one Department. The OCPD of Balai Penampang should look into this matter and try to improve the efficiency and public image of his Police personnels.

For the information of OCPD Balai Penampang, the dusting did not produce the desired result. The beer cans and glasses left by the robbers were still wet -  aggravated by the mists caused by sprays of rain droplets during the heavy rain in the evening - and hence the dust could not adhere properly to show a clear imprint of the robbers' fingers.

The OCPD Penampang is reminded here to check whether the Polis Peronda personnel (WNQ 6719) had actually alerted the other Perondas in Penampang District, KK, or even in Papar to look for the car described above. He (Peronda personnel) had assured me before he left at around 3.00pm that he was going to do it. If not, again the Peronda personnel had lapsed in his policing duty.
