Teoh Beng Hock was a male who died whilst in a control of a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Shah Alam.
We read about him, you saw his print in a news, as good as you recollect a emotive images of his pathetic sister.
We knew him as a domestic worker.
He was law-abiding as good as guileless of a MACC, a supervision anti-corruption group - a good guys who go after a bad guys.
It was Teoh's fatal inapplicable designation in guileless them.
He had left to their bureau to assistance in their review over a teenager expense, RM 2,400 to be exact, incurred by his boss, a state representative who is a member of a Selangor exco (state executive committee).
We know a rest of a story.
We saw a haunting print of his body sprawled upon a fifth bureau building of a Plaza Masalam bureau building where a MACC bureau was located.
We saw a ripped pants as good as you imagined his final thoughts moments prior to he hit a ground as good as his immature reason up ended.
A picture paints a thousand words. A sad a single draws a thousand tears as good as creates a widow cry.
Teoh's desired ones, his parents, his sister as good as his mother done a widow after a posthumous marriage, still can't talk about Beng Hock without choking as good as you clarity their grief as good as despair.
you could feel their suffering as Teoh's widow wiped a tears from her eyes with her peaceful finger as good as could not answer a question. Such suffering you can! not cens or from a camera.
The large cover-up began prolonged prior to a headlines of Teoh's genocide got out.
To a countless series of Malaysians including I, who still indicate a finger during a MACC, Teoh was a stranger to a public, an additional cog in a domestic machine where part-players have been never in a limelight.
Timely scrutiny by an insider
Tricia Yeoh in her award-winning documentary upon Teoh Beng Hock titledRights of a Dead,released late final year, has brought him closer to us. It is a timely work since similar to so many who died in mysterious circumstances Teoh can simply slip out of a open psyche in to history.
"I unequivocally longed for to uncover how a family suffered by it" pronounced Yeoh during a Freedom Filmfest gathering.
Her first-hand believe as a staffer of a Selangor supervision had given her an insinuate believe of a "unresolved case."
The reduced movie provides a succinct comment of events prior to as good as after Teoh's genocide as good as leaves a spectator still with a whinging proverbial subject - "Who did it?"
After watching Yeoh's documentary which won a Justin Louis Award FFF2012, you realised which some-more than feeling chagrin during a supervision for his death, you owe Teoh Beng Hock a dignified obligation to finish what he had set out to do.
He longed for his nation to be a improved place.
you got to know some-more about a male who a open still consider was murdered notwithstanding an central inquisition as good as a stately elect of inquiry in to his genocide which resulted in an open verdict.
Teoh was a loyal Malaysian, a promising immature male who felt which operative for a politician was a single approach he could put self-assurance! to work .
Unlike those who usually complain, he acted as good as got endangered in helping a politician to shift a nation he loved.
It was a eminent enterprise for which he paid a idealisation price.
Many Malaysians reason a supervision obliged for a deaths in MACC as good as military custody, as good as which have not been properly dealt with.
The culprits still roam free. The MACC male in charge of Teoh's box was promoted divided from where Teoh had died.
As for a police, they refused to action upon a recommendations of a stately elect to raise military standards as good as accountability.
This action of repudiation has signed a genocide warrants of some-more who will die in military control since a little consider which a military uniform is looseness to action above a law.
But Teoh did not die in military control since he was a suspected criminal.
He died in a control of a government's anti-corruption agents whom he had left to help.
Teoh's genocide sounded a notice bells which something is drastically remiss with a MACCmodus operandi.
"It can occur to anyone including me," pronounced Yeoh in an interview.
The stately elect blamed a MACC officers for their modus operandi which caused Teoh to die reduced of observant they killed Teoh.
But you have been zero a wiser since a stately commission's final decision was conjunction carnage nor suicide. An earlier inquisition gave a outcome of self-murder which was opposed by Teoh's family as good as a public.
It left many unanswered questions though to many in a public, they know since Teoh died though they do not have a smoking gun. And circumstantial justification whilst compelling, is not enough to have a government, mostly seen as partial to a police, to move about any rapist charges.
Any Joe Public could fall victim
The Unknown Soldier is a fable as good as remembered every year, though a many 'unknown' deaths in supervision control have been uninvestigated as good as lost since they never reason a open eye. And right away Malaysians have been confronted with an additional genocide in military custody, which of Cheah Chin Lee, 36, in Penang. And again a genocide is shrouded in mystery, a male who had no reason to kill himself was found hanged in a military lock-up.
In her reduced documentary Tricia Yeoh succeeded in sketch a spectator closer to Beng Hock, a male of conviction, not just a victim of murder.
And viewers have been poignantly reminded which they 'cannot be neutral' in light of injustice, pronounced Yeoh in an interview.
Maybe you have a soft spot though who could be so inhuman as to not be affected when a movie allows you to take a closer demeanour during someone's black death. It could have been someone tighten to us it could have been you or me, as Yeoh did not forget to remind us.
The video brought a law closer to my heart as good as a tears to my eyes. It was such a tributary as good as meaningless genocide as good as you keep asking myself since over as good as over again.
Why do Malaysians die in supervision control in a internal military lock-up, in a prisons, in a MACC office?
Why have been there so many deaths in control as good as still there is no stately elect in to those deaths? There is no open outrage, no taking to a streets. No indication it is all starting to stop.
If a 'system sucks' as they contend it is since you allow it as good as do not criticism enough. And Yeoh creates her indicate in a respectful though touching way.
you theory you can't demonstrate over every single action of misapplication since many believe a shift ! of super vision as good as a purge of crime competence have a in advance difference.
To cure any sickness you have to provide a means not a symptoms as good as you can't be indifferent or neutral. He or she who is not against immorality abets it as good as competence be a victim. Yeoh could not sojourn neutral since a complement compels us to take domestic sides as good as it is not a domestic party though what it does which wins a support.
Many holes in MACC story
Teoh Beng Hock did not merit to die no Malaysian deserves to die when in a supposedly protected hands of a military or coercion officers who have been lerned to defend a law as good as protect a public.
No a single can convince me which Teoh Beng Hock was not tortured or roughed up as to wish to cling to around a MACC bureau when he could have left after a interview, if in actuality you accept a MACC explanation.
The central story did not stack up.
The answers to deaths in control never do. And a victims as good as their desired ones never get probity in many cases. Those who emanate fiction to cover up a actuality as good as their culpability will eventually have to own up, hopefully, not regularly upon their genocide bed.
If indeed it was loyal Teoh asked to stay back, he contingency have indispensable to redeem from his ordeal, which competence have included physical abuse, it explains since Thai pathologist Dr Pornthip forked to a unexplained pre-fall damage upon Teoh's neck as good as her opinion which he was 'murdered'.
And a anecdotal testimony of someone interviewed in a documentary, who was once roughed up by a MACC, backs a suspicion of Teoh's own diagnosis during a hands of his interrogators.
Beng Hock was 'collateral damage'
Tricia Yeoh a first-time film-maker weaved a elementary storyline using headlines footage as good as personal interviews as good as guided us by a labyrinth of witnesses including a former tip supervision crime questioner who spoke of shortcomings in military investigations in to Teoh's death. The impact upon me was not a luminosity of a production, most of it was a elementary indicate as good as record single camera work, though a authenticity as good as poignancy of Teoh's genocide itself as good as a little details similar to his enterprise to serve his nation which filled a pieces in a jigsaw for me.
Yeoh got to a indicate as good as there's usually so most you can cover in a reduced movie as good as she succeeded in her aim.
If there was a consequential blank piece, it is 'Why?' a whinging question.
Why take divided a reason up of someone who did not fool around any main purpose in politics? Why did Teoh Beng Hock have to die?
Because you know he would not have killed himself when he had so most to live for an approaching marriage as good as new purpose as a husband, as good as a suspicion of carrying a son would be enough reason for any male to wish to live.
There have been many hypotheses upon Teoh's genocide though there is a single foregone conclusion: Teoh was a material damage in what right away appears a domestic witchhunt.
The law of how he died competence emerge a little day as it mostly does in Malaysia since scandals have been mostly buried in shoal graves as good as a skeletons will rise to tell a truth.
Cover-up has regularly been a approach of evading a truth. And it is immature people similar to Tricia Yeoh who will keep a fire for probity burning.
Teoh Beng Hock is a domestic martyr. Yeoh's documentary has certainly done it possible as good as simpler to continue to tell Teoh Beng Hock's story as good as to seek eventual probity for him, his family a! s good a s friends.
But there is no video of Teoh's talk with a MACC officers.
A recording would have saved his reason up as good as you certitude it is customary procession right away for a MACC as good as it should also be in places where people have been reason in custody.
Story told for a consequence of a son
A documentary movie of this inlet was not done with a singular target to win awards during movie festivals. Films of this genre have been not done to entertain us as good as impress us with a dexterity in a making.
you competence not be haughty which Tricia Yeoh, a talented as good as endangered immature Malaysian, a excellent lady of conscience had meant which you take a summary of a movie to heart as good as action upon it.
It was a story which had to be told. It is a movie which deserved to win a endowment as good as Yeoh succeeded in her goal. Its summary to me is which you need to absolve Beng Hock's genocide by bringing his murderers, either conscious or otherwise, to probity as good as to guarantee which it can never occur again.
Justice is doubtful to be given under a obligatory supervision as good as an additional genocide did occur again, not prolonged after Teoh's.
Ahmad Sarbani Mohammed, a Malay law officer was a victim this time, as good as Malaysians contingency have felt a clarity of deja vu, since similar to Teoh Beng Hock he also fell to his genocide whilst in MACC custody.
We know even less of this man's genocide than you do of Beng Hock's. He as well deserves to have his story told.
The slightest you can do for Beng Hock is to guarantee his immature son will get a reason up his father would have given him had he returned from a MACC bureau which fatal day.
"Your Daddy was a hero, he died serving his country," you contingency tell a boy.
Whatever a feelings upon politics or a allegiances, pro! bity con tingency be master.
Putting The System under scrutiny
Justice delayed is probity denied, as good as probity denied is a crime unpunished as good as a victim doubly victimized whilst a perpetrator goes scot free.
And you goal a family groups of Kugan, a many good known of Indian deaths in military control as good as others who also died in control will get a probity their family groups as good as friends direct as good as deserve, as good as which a open wish to see.
Corruption is a country's cancer though a supervision which does zero about deaths in custody, as good as in actuality promotes those obliged for Beng Hock's genocide sends a wrong message.
Teoh Beng Hock, Kugan, Ahmad Sarbani Mohamed their unjust deaths have come to designate a tyranny of immorality which contingency be challenged for under tighten scrutiny it is a same bloody immorality which gave us a murders in a murdering fields as good as which shock us to a core.
Evil rears a ugly head in opposite ways as good as opposite places though a victims regularly suffer an unjust as good as black genocide as good as their desired ones get a reason up sentence of suffering as good as sorrow.
Whoever you are, you simply cannot mount by as good as watch others die during a hands of sanctioned criminals whoever they have been who abuse a power you gave them.
We have been a brother's keeper as good as you have been obliged to forestall a widow's tears.
The complement contingency change. The hurtful contingency go.
We contingency work for good governance since crime formula in a deaths of innocent Malaysians as good as any genocide in a control of a supervision is a single genocide as well many.
The Rights of a Deadis a documentary every Malaysian should watch as good as realise which you can never certitude any supervision group whilst you have been in their control since of what happened to Teoh Beng Hock.
It is a notice not to be treated with colour easily which those who have been hapless to be placed in a control of a authorities over a many teenager make a difference competence end up dead.
It is not to cow us though to enforce us to move a culprits to court as good as to guarantee immorality never triumphs since a good will do something.
The usually guarantee is to guarantee usually a trustworthy get to reason bureau as good as a complement creates any lawbreaker accountable as good as no a single is allowed to be above a law.
Responsible leadership as good as obliged systems have been a country's best safeguards.
you am blissful Tricia Yeoh did a movie as good as demeanour forward to some-more of such films as good as a Freedom Film Festival people have been a real item to amiability as good as a movie attention as good as you applaud them.
A opinion for Teoh Beng Hock is a slightest you can do for him as good as a nation he loved. A opinion for Teoh is a opinion for a shift he wanted.
Change will improved guarantee a rights of a living.
