Teoh Beng Hock inquest: Coroner visits MACC office SHAH ALAM (Aug 7, 2009): The Teoh Beng Hock inquest entered its fourth day with coroner Azmil Muntapha Abas visiting the state Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office located on the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam in Section 8. Azmil, government lawyer Tan Hock Chuan and Gobind Singh Deo, lawyer for Teoh's family and others, arrived at the complex at 9.45am and immediate visited the MACC office, and in particular the room where Teoh was questioned, and where he went after that. At 10.50am, the group went to the balcony at the 5th floor where the 30-year-old political aide's body was found on July 16 to get a better idea of the layout of the place. After spending about 20 minutes there, they moved to the security room at the 4th floor. The inquest is being held to find the cause of Teoh's death. Teoh was found dead on the fifth floor of the building, after earlier being questioned for about 11 hours by the MACC as a witness in a case of alleged misappropriation of allocations for several state assemblymen. Teoh was political secretary to state executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah. Fifteen days have been set aside for the inquest. On Monday, testimonies of expert witnesses will continue.
