On the 15th of July, 2009, 30 year old former journalist Teoh Beng Hock walked into the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s Selangor headquarters in Shah Alam, Malaysia. He was there on investigation for suspected misuse of public funds, and was called in as a witness. However, things would take a turn when he didn't return home later that evening, and in fact, CCTV cameras showed that he never left the building. Instead, he would be discovered the next afternoon nine floors below the MACC's office, sprawled on the fifth floor balcony, in a pool of his own blood.
Part 1 - We dig into Teoh Beng Hock's profile, his political involvements, and why he was called in to the MACC headquarters on that fateful day.
Part 2 - We look into the curious statements put out by the MACC themselves regarding the incident, and the blowback that ensued from the tragic incident.
