Clear Head in Crisis

The sudden death of Teo Beng Hock spurred up nationwide outcry and everyone is awe-struck by this sudden incident.This again raise concern about the protection of basic human right and liberty in our country.

First and foremost,public raise concern toward the procedure being applied by MACC in probing the detainee.Long hour of incessant questioning coupled with harsh word and intimidation undermine the basic principle of human right,and violate the principle of democracy,that is presumption of innocence before a person can be convicted " beyond reasonable doubt". 23 hour of incessant probing is a sheer torture to normal person and there is possibility that he may crack under pressure.A person should not be subjected to harsh treatment when he is not convicted under rule.Imposing harsh treatment is tantamount of forcing a presumably innocent person to confide under pressure.I didnt suggest that MACC treat the detainee harshly,normal procedure of MACC would never allowed this to happen.However,the integrity of MACC will at stake due to the abuse of power by a few blacksheep.I am just suggesting,sorry if it is offensive.

Secondly,there are major sceptical of the allegedly selective prosecution by MACC.i will not delve deep into that.What i want to to stress is MACC should live up to its motto by staying neutral and uphold its basic principle of integrity and accountability.The best way is prosecution without fear or flavour.It is an uphill struggle for MACC to regain the public confident and salvage its tarnish image.

However,there are some speck of light in the dark room.For the first time,political bigshot irrespective of political affiliation are thinking along the same line , united in their condemnation of MACC probing prosedure and requesting a royal commission for inquest and throughout investigation into TEO's death.Suddenly,political division line is blurred by common acknowledgement of the seriousness of the incident,which pose a treat to the fundamental value of upholdinf humanity in our country.Unfortunately,racist remark crept in and once again,we are using issue of race to divert public attention.Once again,some quater tend to whip up public sentiment bt their insensitive issue and try to portray themselves as heroes in crisis,thereby intensify the gravity of the issue

Once again,I pledge to all malaysia to stay clear headed and stay away from making unfounded speculation and succumb to emotional sentiment.I pledge to PM to allow the child to have TEO as his/her surname.Special circumstances require special measure .Laws are craeted by human,and humanity is the core of law.Hence,where humanity is concern,law will play as a second fiddle.I pledge also to PM to investigate the incident by upholding transparity and accountibility

Hurray, we have somebody who really speaks up for his fiancee, someone i know.
As far as i know, there are no special laws stating one must have the surname of their parents. Chinese names are very different from other religion as we invented surnames. I think it will be possible for Teoh's fiancee to name her child as Teoh XX a/l XX.
I hope you could clear my doubts here.

Well, of course I would not like to comment anything else on the decease. It is certainly unfair and I believe there are hanky-panky happenings in politics, like you have aforementioned, "the treacherous political world".

Anyway, bribery is still acceptable if it does not take more than 10% of the initial amount. However, it will still be good if there is no bribery and bias, which exist only in wonder world.
