PETALING JAYA, Nov 17 — The Teoh Beng Hock Trust for Democracy group has asked that they not be kept in the dark on the latest developments of the case.

Their request follows a court order to reopen investigation papers into the death political aide of an assemblyman.

The group’s spokesperson, Tiew Way Keng, said the family wants to be constantly updated on the investigation.

“We have been trying to get updates from the special task force but have been unsuccessful,” Tiew said at a press conference yesterday to announce the group will hold a protest at the Parliament entrance on Wednesday morning.

On Sept 5, a three-man Court of Appeal bench overturned the coroner’s open verdict on Teoh’s death and ruled it resulted from an unlawful act by a person or persons unknown.

It also called for a further probe into the death by not excluding officers of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Teoh was found dead on the fifth floor landing of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, where the MACC headquarters was formerly located, on the morning of July 16, 2009. He was 30.

After the Coroner’s Court handed down the open-verdict decision, Teoh’s elder brother Meng Kee filed an application to the High Court to have that decision reviewed but the Shah Alam High Court rejected the application on Dec 1, 2011.

Meng Kee obtained leave from the Court of Appeal on Feb 2 last year to appeal against the decision.

“After two months there has been no proper investigations,” Tiew claimed.

She said they would seek to hand over a memorandum to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the protest.

Also present at the press conference was Teoh’s sister Teoh Lee Lan, who said she wanted the police to look for her brother’s murderer and seek justice for him.

“We are not satisfied with the work the authorities are doing,” she said.

“As soon as the police formed a task force to reinvestigate the case, they came to our home to search for a handwritten note of my brother.”

On Sept  25, deputy federal CID chief DCP Datuk Amar Singh said a team of officers were studying the files on the case, including the initial sudden death report, the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Teoh’s death, and the Court of Appeal ruling.

He was reported as saying that the team consisted of three officers and the process would take some time as they had to be meticulous with every detail.
