When will it stop?

Selangor exco’s aide falls to death

SHAH ALAM: A man died after having fallen off Plaza Masalam here where the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has its office on the 14th floor.

The man is believed to be Teoh Beng Hock, political secretary to Selangor executive council member Ean Yong Hian Wah, who was taken in for questioning by the MACC Wednesday evening.

According to police sources, Teoh was released at 4am on Thursday after having been held overnight. He was supposed to have returned later Thursday with several documents requested by the MACC.

Teoh, a 30-year-old former journalist with Chinese daily Sin Chew Jit Poh, was taken to the MACC office to assist in its investigations over the alleged abuse of constituency development funds.

This is so dodgy that it is not at all a light matter.

Why was he being questioned by MACC at 3am?

Since when do ANY government agencies operate BEYOND their office hours? The moment the second hand crosses 5pm they are locking up the office, in their cars.

Does MACC have the right to hold people in their headquarters [overnight]?

He was in MACC building, being questioned by MACC - MACC you give us answers.

Its such a terrible tragedy to befall a 30 year old young man. He's my brother's age.

I can only pray for an honest investigation and justice to be done.

But knowing how things are in this country, I seriously doubt that will happen.

Deep within me there is an ever growing disgust for my own country. I am sick and tired of it.

A friend once asked me why i thought Malaysians migrate?

It is simply because people have had enough of the crap we have to put up with.
I wouldn't even know where to begin in the never ending cycle of poor governance, disgraceful leaders, non-existent values displayed by those in power.

Legal discrimination happens in all areas.

The rich Datuk's get richer, and the really poor get poorer. Happens everywhere I know, but in our corrupt country - the Datuks get richer with our money.

Suspected snatch thieves are brutally beaten up by police, some die. We just 'unfortunately' found out about it.

Uneducated educators educating young minds in a system that can be changed around so easily.

Hired help abused by their employers.

Unsafe housing developments on hills can come crashing down because someone paid someone else who paid some one else off who had a contract won by some Datuk's friend, but no one is held accountable.

Our own political leaders can be disrespectful and insensitive to other races, but flares up the moment any hint of anything discussed about their own race.

Since the government@BN lost so badly in March last year, they did not learn humility and acknowledge the public is sick of their corruption, sick of their lies, sick of their bullshit.
Sick of them spending our money on ill-fitting wigs.

Instead they have channeled so much energy into bringing the "opposition" down, those who would like to get on with running a country, men and women who have struggled against a force that has mutated in the last 50years through the generations to become a Monster who is only interested in its own wealth and prosperity.

Before the 'opposition' can even roll up its sleeves to dive into the mess created over the decades, they are up against blow after blow after blow. Its an unfair fight, where their hands are tied, no matter what.

I told my mother, ironically in a very sad way, only if this man is a Christian will he get a reaction from the Malaysian Christian community.

We the Rakyat have become so numbed, so immune to the point we just say;

Oh well, that's just the way Malaysia is...

By default, this is Malaysia?

Enough!

You are pushing your own people out of the country. Those who can afford to anyway...

And those who can't, have no choice but to remain in a country they do not love. A country that is vile. Repulsive. What good can come of that? I do not want Malaysia to be this.

I am sad for my country.

God help Malaysia.

Like it or not, it will not stop unless the rest of Malaysia wakes up like you do, and it will take a miracle for that to happen.

I use to tell others to stay and fight instead of migrating; now I am seriously contemplating that too. The corruption roots have run too deep, and the future will be one, big political impasse.

Like you said, God help Malaysia.
