PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the government will set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) to investigate the death of former political secretary Teoh Beng Hock who was found dead in 2009.
Beng Hock, the political secretary to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah was found dead on July 16, 2009 on the fifth floor corridor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, Selangor after he had given a statement at the office of the Selangor MACC on the 14th floor of the same building.
The Prime Minister said the RCI would be set up with special terms and the government would appoint a select list of members for the panel, comprising prominent and respectable people.
Najib told reporters here on Friday that the appointment of the panel was expected to be made after the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
On Jan 5, Coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas had said there was insufficient evidence to prove that the political aide's death was a homicide, and also ruled out suicide.
The 17-month inquest into the death of Teoh Beng Hock ended with the Coroner's Court returning an open verdict which meant the court could not ascertain how the 30-year-old political aide had died. - BERNAMA
