(The Star) - Friends and former colleagues of Teoh Beng Hock could not believe that he would end his life in such a tragic way. To them, the former Sin Chew Daily reporter was soft-spoken, sincere, dedicated to his work and someone who had “faith in life”.

“He would not take his own life just like that,’’ said Tan Yu Chyan, also a former journalist with the Chinese daily.

Tan, who was based in the newspaper’s Putrajaya bureau, said Teoh, who worked in the Kajang office, had resigned to become Selangor exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah’s political secretary in April last year.

He said they maintained constant contact despite parting ways.

“We were supposed to meet for dinner last week but he could not make it at the last minute due to work commitments. He telephoned me yesterday (Wednesday) morning but I was busy and could not talk to him.’’

Tan said Teoh’s girlfriend was a schoolteacher.

With THB and Kugan murdered by MACC and PDRM respectively, UMNO/BN's demise has become inevitable...we the rakyat of Malaysia must not and cannot allow murderers to run this nation anymore, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

Why should he be allowed to stay at MACC office, a security area, after 3.45 am?

After going through hell in the hands of MACC interrogators , would anyone wish to stay any longer at MACC office soon after his released?

There is nothing to it except murder. I hope its not like the Altantuya case where a low level police office is made a scape goat and the murderer stands by the sideline and comment. Its not so much for politics but humanity. How can anyone just murder as and when they feel insecure in defending their party. If such is the case, BN bastards should be guilty to the the very core. Only an eye for an eye in this case will teach the mthr fckers a lesson.
