Teoh family reciprocates DAP leaders' bow, thanks supporters
The family of Teoh Beng Hock and members of the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement bowing at a public memorial to Teoh Beng Hock organised by the association. KUALA LUMPUR : The family of the late Teoh Beng Hock bowed tonight in response to a public apology by DAP leaders on Thursday. Beng Hock's parents, sister Lee Lan and members of the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement (TBH-ADA) lined up and bowed at a public memorial organised by the association. 'We, the family of Teoh Beng Hock, and the TBH-ADA will return a bow of courtesy. 'We bow to every individual, every organisation, every party and person who have stood with us in this long struggle. 'We thank you for your unwavering solidarity. We believe your support was granted not in pity or charity, but in a shared expectation of justice,' said an emcee. The memorial marks the 16th anniversary of Beng Hock's death. On Thursday, DAP leaders bowed in 'respect and sorrow' to the family, acknowledging they had been let down by investigations into the former political aide's death. DAP secretary-general Loke Siew Fook, vice-chairman Teo Nie Ching, Selangor DAP chief Ng Sze Han and Teoh's former boss, Ean Yong Hian Wah, bowed for about a minute at the end of a press conference at DAP's headquarters. The day before, Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief Azam Baki apologised to the family and said the agency was prepared to provide them with a goodwill contribution. Beng Hock, who was 30, was found dead on July 16, 2009 after falling from the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam, Selangor, after being questioned for several hours by officers at the Selangor MACC headquarters. An inquest into his death initially returned an open verdict. However, in 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled that the death was caused by 'one or more unknown persons', including MACC officers. In May, former inspector-general of police Razarudin Husain confirmed that the investigation paper on Beng Hock's death was classified as needing no further action, after the Attorney-General's Chambers said it found insufficient evidence to bring charges.

Promises of quick profit cost Johor man RM301,000 in stock scam
JOHOR BAHRU, July 19 — An elderly e-hailing driver lost RM301,300 after falling victim to an online scheme that promised quick and lucrative returns through investments in foreign stocks. Seri Alam police chief Supt Mohd Sohaimi Ishak said the 67-year-old victim was first introduced to the fraudulent scheme in April by a woman he had just met. 'Believing the woman's promises, the victim made 11 transfers to four different bank accounts, amounting to RM301,300,' he said in a statement. However, he never received any returns. Instead, he was repeatedly asked to make additional payments, supposedly to facilitate the release of his profits. Realising he had been scammed when he could no longer reach the woman and failed to recover his investment, the victim lodged a police report on Monday. Mohd Sohaimi said preliminary checks using the Semak Mule platform by the Commercial Crime Investigation Department revealed that three of the bank accounts involved had been flagged in 27 previous police reports linked to investment scams. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years' imprisonment, caning and a fine upon conviction. He added that investigators are also looking into the existence of mule accounts under Section 424 of the Penal Code, which covers the use of accounts or payment instruments for criminal purposes. 'Upon conviction under Section 424, offenders face a fine of between RM10,000 and RM150,000 or imprisonment of three to 10 years,' he said. He advised the public to be wary of online investment schemes promising quick and high returns, especially those that appear overly easy or risk-free. 'The public is also urged to verify any investment opportunity with relevant authorities such as the Royal Malaysia Police, Bank Negara Malaysia, or the Securities Commission to ensure its legitimacy,' he added. — Bernama
