</td></tr></tbody></table>昨日被雪州反贪委员会传召问话的雪州行政议员欧阳捍华的政治秘书赵明福(左图)在雪州反贪会总部坠离奇坠楼身亡,震惊四方!

坠楼身亡事件发生在位于沙亚南商业大厦的雪州反贪委员会总部。

据了解,有关大厦共有20层楼高,而反贪委员会则坐落在第14和15楼。

雪州总警长卡立巴卡指出,赵明福的遗体被发现时身穿蓝色衬衫、黑色外套和白裤。初步相信,死者是从高处坠落在沙亚南商业大厦5楼的阳台。赵明福的遗体一共遭两队法医检验,直到晚上9点15分才从偏门被移走,以便避开媒体。

目前还未能证实他究竟是死于自杀、意外或遭谋杀。

下午1点听见有尖叫被发现

“一名官员前去检查尸体时,才发现他是前来协助调查雪州议员拨款的证人。”

询及究竟如何发现尸体时,苏克里声称他们听到有人高声尖叫,因此就派遣官员前往探看。
凌晨3点45分完成录取口供

他证实,赵明福是在昨日傍晚5点,被带往到雪州反贪会总部录取口供,以调查雪州民联议员拨款是否有出现舞弊。

较早前,行动党甘榜东姑州议员刘永山表示,反贪会查案官透露,该会将调查雪州36名民联州议员,包括雪州大臣卡立在内。

苏克里透露,赵明福录取口供的工作,其实已在今日凌晨3点45分完成。
“在录取口供完毕之后,有关男子已经被允许回家。他也答应会在今日携带相关文件回到雪州反贪会总部来协助调查。”
凌晨6点看到赵明福睡茶水间

苏克里指出,虽然赵明福被允许回家,但是死者还是留在反贪会总部的茶水间休息。

他说,反贪会官员在凌晨6点还看到赵明福睡在茶水间,过后就没有再看到死者,直到下午1点半发现尸体为止。

玛诺哈兰:昨日看来神情愉快

赵明福的代表律师哥打阿南莎州议员玛诺哈兰曾在昨日6点会晤赵明福。

他指出赵明福当时看来神情愉快,并有决心面对盘问,并未显示出任何焦虑的情况。

雪州行动党领袖包括行政议员欧阳捍华、刘天球、郭素沁及雪州议长邓章钦,在闻讯后纷纷赶抵雪州反贪会总部(左图)。

<table class="pic-shadow" align="right" width="331" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td>
2e1f3b90e7473ac3aded6fd228ea3bda.jpg
</td></tr></tbody></table>在事件发生后,雪州反贪会总部大门紧闭,开始时只有欧阳捍华、刘天球、黄瑞林及邓章钦四人获准进入反贪会总部办公室(右图)。

记者也一度聚集在反贪会总部楼下,外头也有一辆警察卡车及两辆警车驻守。抵达许久官员敷衍没有交代

最早抵达雪州反贪会总部的欧阳捍华,接受媒体追访时指出,他并非在接获消息后赶来反贪委员会,而是早预定今午4点前来了解其私人助理赵明福仍被扣查一事。

他说,本身是接获记者的通知才知道赵明福的死讯,并感到震惊。

他声称,自昨日便与赵明福失去联络,至今仍未有他的消息。
与此同时,他也不满反贪委会一再对他敷衍,在抵达良久之后仍然不肯告知赵明福的下落。

“我到这里(反贪委员会)已经半个小时,但是却没有人告知我实况。”

刘天球拍桌子不满遭到怠慢
在欧阳捍华抵达之后,刘天球及邓章钦随后也赶抵现场,不过他们只被反贪会官员招呼到隔壁的房间,而官员们则聚集在另一个房间。

结果刘天球更因不满久久未有官员与他们接洽而拍打桌子,口中更不断责问“死者到底在何处?”

刘天球在傍晚5点,更尝试率领记者及一群人士前往5楼阳台,视察赵明福的遗体,但是却被警方及身份不明的便衣人士所阻止。结果满脸愤怒的刘天球一行人朝着阻止视察的人士高喊“凶手在哪里?”,有人爆粗,更有人怒气冲冲地猛踢玻璃门。

“明日注册结婚不可能自杀”

现年30岁的赵明福源自马六甲亚罗牙也,在出任欧阳捍华的政治秘书之前,曾任《星洲日报》加影区办事处记者。他的父母亲已经获知这个噩耗,其哥哥及未婚妻也已赶抵现场。

行动党国会领袖林吉祥在其网页上指出,赵明福原订明日注册结婚,前行动党秘书长郭金福与赵明福有亲戚关系。他将会明早乘最早的一趟班级从槟城赶回吉隆坡。

欧阳捍华也强调,赵明福明日将会注册结婚,因此不可能会自杀。

黑色烛光会要求反贪会交代

另一方面,社青团号召今晚8点半在沙亚南商业大厦举行烛光会,要求反贪会交代赵明福的死因,并广发短讯要求民众穿黑衣、携带花朵及蜡烛出席。

社青团领袖明日也将会与安华及林吉祥一起联袂前往雪州反贪会总部兴师问罪。
雪州大臣卡立将在傍晚7点半于雪州政府大厦与赵明福的哥哥一起举行记者会。

他表示,雪州政府已联络首邦再也医药中心(SJMC)提供法医服务,而法医将会前往案发现场与警方的法医一起调查。

卡立也指控赵明福的死亡,与反贪会针对雪州民联政府官员、州议员以及州政府机构所展开的选择性调查有关。

林吉祥也在部落格揭露,在沙亚南的工作赵明福兄长较后也赶到现场,而后者透露,赵明福原订在明日注册结婚。

欧阳捍华也证实,赵明福明天就要和女朋友注册结婚,因此坚称不可能自杀。

“如果有问题,也是我出事,我看不出他有什么原因要自杀。”

林冠英:反贪会需负起全责

民主行动党秘书长林冠英也发表文告,要求反贪委员会在这起事件上负起全责,因为赵氏从雪州反贪委员会建筑的14楼坠下身亡的时候,是在被反贪委员会扣押期间。

他促请反贪委员立刻停止对民联的政治逼害行为,特别是针对行动党领袖及党员,因为这对反贪或申张正义无济于事。

“类似的政治游戏,已经导致 一名前途光明、有理想的年轻行动党党员失去宝贵的生命。”

A Very Sensitive Death that would cost BN significant amount of Votes











My related forum postings on Sammyboy.Com today



This afternoon as I was still at famiLEE LEEgime's court on matters related to WB-IMF protest anniversary walk, at about 1pm. An aide of of Malaysian opposition's Selangor Exco was found dead at the HQ of MACC the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Bureau. In court today I also saw the new famous Ming Yi from RenCi.

This dead in Kuala Lumpur is very sensitive. The political impact is going to be quite significant.

The deseased late Mr. Teo Beng Hock was to be married tomorrow.

Protests had already started in Malaysia for this death.

Mr. Teo was not a suspect in the corruption investigation, but just merely a witness. Imagine a witness will jump to death from the bureau's HQ on the even of his own wedding? What sort of unnecessary (if not unlawful) pressure had been put on him. It is obvious that there is suspicion of him being murdered instead of committed suicide.

This is going to make lots of head lines for a long while.

MACC: Teoh was not a suspect

Friday, 17 July 2009 08:48
(NST) 'He was a helpful witness and never showed signs of being under pressure'

PUTRAJAYA: Teoh Beng Hock was never a suspect in the ongoing investigations but a friendly and cooperative witness who was assisting the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in the probe into falsified claims.


MACC deputy commissioner Datuk Abu Kassim Mohammad said Teoh came to the commission's Selangor headquarters at Plaza Masalam on his own and never showed signs of being under pressure throughout the eight hours of questioning.

Teoh was called to the MACC office at 5pm on Wednesday and was discharged at 3.45am yesterday.

Explaining the procedures in recording statements from witnesses or suspects, Abu Kassim said it was normal for the questioning to last more than eight hours.

He stressed that Teoh was just assisting the probe into a Selangor DAP assemblyman alleged to have falsified claims.

Teoh was the political aide to Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah.

Abu Kassim said after he was discharged, Teoh was supposed to return to the MACC office later yesterday with certain documents pertaining to transactions with seven companies as he had processed those documents.

"He was a very cooperative, friendly, good and helpful witness.

"He was never interrogated as he was not a suspect and he never showed signs of being under pressure.

"When he came in, he was not escorted, unlike suspects who are guarded around the clock, even when they go to the toilet.

"After my men discharged him, Teoh said he wanted to rest on the sofa and my men last saw him sleeping at 6am.

"An hour later, he was no longer there," he said, adding that another witness in relation to the same case was still being questioned when Teoh was discharged.

Abu Kassim said they were shocked to hear that his body was found sprawled at a secluded spot of the office building about 1.30pm.

"We thought he had gone home."

Asked about the security features at the state MACC office, Abu Kassim said the commission did not own the building.

"We made an application to the building management some time ago for the installation of grilles at the windows, but there was no response," he said.

The state MACC occupies levels 14 and 15 of the Plaza Masalam complex.

Abu Kassim said the MACC would extend its full cooperation to the police in investigations into Teoh's death.

Abu Kassim, however, cautioned against speculation about his death to allow police to conduct a fair investigation.

"The police are free to question my officers. We have nothing to hide.

We also want to know what actually transpired," he said.

Meanwhile, MACC investigations director Datuk Shukri Abdull expressed his disappointment with several DAP leaders who vented their anger at the commission over the incident.

He was particularly unhappy with DAP's Ronnie Liu, who is Selangor Local Government and Research Committee chairman, for banging his fist on the door at an off-limits area of the MACC office to be let in.

Liu was among several DAP leaders present at the office demanding an explanation for Teoh's death.
