The officer, identified only as Ariff, met group chairperson Ng Yap Hwa and Lee Lan at around 3.20pm, holding a meeting that lasted approximately 25 minutes.

After they met the officer, Ng (above) held a press conference outside the Prime Minister’s Office, stating that they had conveyed their demands to Ariff, who promised to relay the message to Anwar’s political secretary, Chan Ming Kai.

He said that they tried to make an appointment to meet Anwar a year ago but nothing had materialised.

“Pakatan Harapan is the one who championed the cause of Beng Hock since (he died) 14 years ago. They should make some changes when they are in power today,” said Ng, who also cited Anwar’s “black eye incident” from years ago to emphasise that the wrongdoers must be held accountable and punished.

He pointed out that Anwar was assaulted during detention, resulting in him appearing in court with a black eye, shocking the nation. The perpetrator, then inspector-general of police Rahim Noor, was eventually punished. He lamented that to this day, no MACC officers have been held accountable for Beng Hock’s death while in their custody.

Beng Hock was found dead on July 16, 2009, on the fifth-floor service corridor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after being questioned overnight on the 14th floor of the Selangor MACC headquarters.   At the time of his death, he was a political aide to Selangor state executive councillor and incumbent DAP Seri Kembangan assemblyperson Ean Yong Hian Wah.

In 2011, a Royal Commission of Inquiry determined that Beng Hock was driven to commit suicide following aggressive questioning by the MACC. In 2014, the Court of Appeal unanimously ruled that his death was caused by the act of “a person or persons unknown”, including the MACC officers who questioned him overnight before he was found dead.

‘Even Najib met with us’

Ng called for Anwar to promptly reopen the investigation to ensure that those responsible for Beng Hock’s death are brought to justice.

Subsequently, Lee Lan (above) stated that before Anwar became the prime minister, he had attended Beng Hock’s funeral along with various Harapan leaders. “He mourned and shed tears in front of the funeral hall, all because an innocent person lost his life in connection with the MACC.”

She questioned why despite former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak arranging a meeting with the Teoh family, Anwar appeared reluctant to do so. “Even Najib as PM met with the Teoh family, so we just don’t understand why a simple arrangement (for a meeting) has to wait for a year.”She also urged the public not to forget the injustice suffered by Beng Hock and to seize every opportunity to question Anwar in seeking justice for the deceased.

Maya : That is the truth. The politicians will play accordingly! It is a well known fact and this case, and many others, have proved without reasonable doubt the real truth about Madani. Suddenly, everything that everyone thought will come to a close, never transpired.

PMX has very many "important" things that he has been looking into, including a personal conversion ceremony, etc. He has completely forgotten his past and how he was trusted into power to lead. Alas, it is best to stay away from controversies and let his close buddies like the HM or just an ordinary officer to handle them.

It is no more just being disappointed, but it is disgust and the feeling of being played out seems to creep in. Even DAP who were championing this cannot help to get them to meet the PM. Worst still we are arguing about not having NM PM, no Tamil Minister in the cabinet ........! This is the truth, if PH fails there is little hope of any other change, except one.

DonGetMeWrong : Admired Lee Lan for her relentless pursued of justice for her beloved brother after 14 years and still not giving up. It is a travesty of justice for a young man whose life has been cut short by over zealous MACC officer to force him to his death.

Injustice when these officers has been implicated but no action taken. Not only that these officers has been promoted too. Ketuanan melayu rules. Birds of same feather flocked together. When will justice be served?

Proof of pudding always in the eating : PMX has turned out to be a spineless disaster now playing hide and seek with TBH family. He was only assaulted in 1998. 2023 he is still alive while TBH lost his life and his family lost a son and brother. This is reformasi. Kick him out GE2028.

On the Other Hand : The charlatan shed crocodile tears then. Today he could not be bothered about either his constituents in Tambun, Port Dickson, or his next stepping stone. You were merely a pedestal for him to step on to further his personal agenda, and once he made use of you, he abandoned you.

Today, he loves Hamas more than even the Arabs do, because they serve his purpose, no matter that more Palestinians will die as a result of bing hoodwinked by Hamas. What seems to matter more to him, is just him, and only himself.

Me : He is the PM for Hamas in Gaza.
