A big blow to the Chinese community

It is very disturbing to hear the lost of Teoh Beng Hock, 30, who was found dead sprawled in a pool of blood on the 5th floor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after falling.

Just look at how distraught his mom(pink blouse) is at the loss of her son. It should not be this way for the family.

Teoh was the political secretary to Selangor exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah. He was involved in a good cause to bring change to Malaysia via Parti Keadilan Rakyat(PKR). Teoh was a man of integrity, dedication and devotion to his task to serve the community better.

He was taken in under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission(MACC) for an enquiry. As most Malaysians know, MACC is going all out to catch people involved in corruption and who are going against the law. MACC's intentions are good and applauded.

However, their tactics at interogating people may need to be investigated and ammended if neccessary.

As to how and why Teoh fell down is still a big question. I do hope that a Royal Commission of Inquiry be formed to unfold the truth of Teoh's mysterious death. We need to find out how, who and why he fell. The people that are caught and proven guilty in this murder should be hung! MURDERERS!

Malaysian Chinese Association(MCA) is also pushing for a Royal Commission of Inquiry. It goes to show that the Chinese have come together irrespective of political parties for justice.

Based on what I have read, Teoh is not one to take his own life. This has been stated by his friends that Teoh was a man of high spirits.

It is so sad to see his wife to be who is carrying their child in her womb. She is 2 months pregnant. The day that Teoh died was the day that they were to be registered. I hope based on Chinese customs, they will marry in a special ceremony eventhough Teoh is now gone.

It is sad that the child she is carrying could not see his/ her father. However, someday the child should be proud of the late father as he was part of a force fighting for a new and reformed Malaysia.
