So how do we improve on the ACT? Detain them for life? Hang them?

Let me just say this: “We don’t need any improvement! We don’t need ISA! Just abolish the ACT all together!” That’s the whole idea!

Why Didn’t Teoh Go Back?

Posted in AROUND THE BLOG, CITIZEN'S COLUMN, LIFE, MALAYSIA, NEWS on July 18th, 2009

Teoh Beng Hock,  30, was found dead yesterday on the fifth floor balcony of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, nine floors below the Selangor MACC office…

The MACC says that Teoh was released at 3.45am yesterday but he chose to “stay back and sleep on a couch, where he was last seen at 6am.”

This statement has got me thinking.

Why did Teoh chose to “stay back and sleep on a couch?” Would you like to sleep on a couch in the MACC office after 8 hours of questioning? The first thing I would do is get out of there ASAP! I would head for the mamak stall and have a nice hot cup of teh tarik and roti canai. Then would head straight home and have a nice bath and sleep in the comfort of my own bed! That would be the most logical thing to do. I wouldn’t want to even spend an extra minute there. But then according to witness, he was last seen at 6am there.

The question is why hang out there? Doesn’t Teoh have  a home to go back to?
