suicide or homicide?

AFter more than a year since the death of Teoh Beng Hock on July 1902009, the much anticipated result of the inquest is out.

But to much dissappointment, the result has not solved the case, but make the case even more complicated and leave everyone in limbo and clueless.

"The death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock was not a suicide and it was not a homicide, Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas ruled on Wednesday. It is, therefore, an open verdict."

This is excerpt from The Star newspaper.
Mr. Judge, what kin of answer is this?? Maybe Teoh Beng Hock is not ur brother, son or husband who passed away, that's y u feel nth. How can u give an open verdict? WHat does it mean? Nothing! It's unfair to the family of Teoh Beng Hock who until this moment don't get any accurate answer of the trial.

Suicide or homicide?

People want to know!

Mr. Judge, you know, your judgement is like cakap kosong or talk air. There's a saying in Hokkien, 'kong siang ka boh kong' which means cakap macam tak cakap or in English, it means you say something but it is as if you never say anything.

faham??

cakap macam tak cakap, lebih baik tak payah cakap!

Kong sai uah.

This verdict has bring negative implications for many parties.

To the judge: You'll be seen as uncapable to handle such a high-profile case. Your good name is tarnished and do you think people will ever count on you again?

To the judiciary: People will be more angry and lost trust on you as you are not able to give justice to the defendant or plaintiff.

To the family of Teoh Beng Hock: They will only feel more trauma, hatred and sad as their son, brother, husband and father died blindly. What they want is just justice but have they got it? At least give them an accurate answer. Open verdict will only brings more complications after this.

The police should re-investigate the case now since the judge can't make up his mind. There are a lot of doubts, allegations and politics in this case. It's time to show your professionalism, PDRM.

If Teoh Beng Hock is not from the Opposition party, i believe the way police, government and judiciary handle this case will be different.
