The family of the late Teoh Beng Hock has rejected the apology issued by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), describing it as insincere and impenitent.
Beng Hock’s sister, Lee Lan, said the apology by MACC chief Azam Baki was merely a public relations exercise, with no genuine accountability or follow-up action.
“They are only apologising because they see us suffering. There is no sincerity in this apology,” said Lee Lan during a press conference here today.
“No action has been taken against the MACC officers who are suspected to be involved. We want justice and the truth. We want to know what really happened in MACC that day.”
She also said her family is not seeking compensation but justice, adding that an earlier proposal by the Attorney-General’s Chambers to offer additional compensation, following the return of the Pakatan Harapan government in 2022, was also turned down.
“What we demand is truth and justice, the perpetrators must be charged and punished in accordance with the law. We don’t want money.”
Earlier, Azam said MACC offered to give a goodwill contribution to Beng Hock’s family as a “gesture of compassion”.
