Actually, we have already decided how Teoh Beng Hock, Kugan, Ahmad Sarbaini, and many more died. Sure we want a RCI to be held. But we want the RCI to come out with a verdict that dovetails with what we have already decided had happened. And if the RCI contradicts what we believe, then we are going to raise hell.

Inquiry results not to be questioned: Malaysian PM
KANGAR - Conclusions made by the Malaysian Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into opposition aide Teoh Beng Hock's death should not be questioned as this will only defeat its purpose, said Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.
He said the RCI was an independent body, which had been set up with the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong's consent and made up of individuals with high credibility to investigate the matter openly.
“What is the purpose of setting up the RCI if its findings are questioned? There are groups which questioned it because they are unhappy with the findings.”
“They have made their own conclusion and they wanted the RCI's report to reflect their thinking and demands. That is unfair.”
“The truth remains the truth whether it is bitter or easy for us to accept. We can't deny the truth,” he said after meeting the Perlis Barisan Nasional leaders yesterday.
The Commission had concluded that Teoh was driven to commit suicide due to intensive interrogation by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers. -- THE STAR/ANN
************************************
Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak has a point here. The problem is when he said “…should not be questioned…”.
Anything can be questioned. To say “…should not be questioned…” is just like England of 500 years ago. When you questioned the church or the King you would be arrested, tied to a stake, and burned alive. Surely we have come a long way since then from the days when everything “…should not be questioned…”?
Nevertheless, what Najib said was true on the other part of his statement. If the RCI had come out with a verdict that we like we would have applauded its findings. We would have praised the RCI to kingdom come.
When the Shah Alam High Court allowed my habeas corpus and ordered my release from detention in November 2008, the judge was one fantastic guy. If he had rejected my application and ruled that I should remain in Kamunting, then the judge is an arsehole who is corrupted and is in Umno’s pocket.
That is how we think.
Okay, we demand a RCI on the Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed death. Say the government does hold the RCI as what we want. And say the RCI comes out with a verdict that he died while trying to escape through the third floor window. Would we be satisfied or would we be up in arms? Say, instead, the RCI comes out with a verdict that he was killed while under interrogation. Would that satisfy us and would we praise the RCI to high heavens?
Actually, we have already decided how Teoh Beng Hock, Kugan, Ahmad Sarbaini, and many more died. Sure we want a RCI to be held. But we want the RCI to come out with a verdict that dovetails with what we have already decided had happened. And if the RCI contradicts what we believe, then we are going to raise hell.
This makes it very difficult, of course. What we want is not a RCI to determine the truth, whatever that may be. What we want is a RCI to confirm what we believe.
If we already believe what happened then why not we just go on and believe this? Why bother to ask for a RCI to be held when we know the RCI is going to rule against what we believe?
The chances of the RCI coming out with a verdict the same as what we believe is very slim. The chances of the RCI coming out with a verdict that we don’t believe is very likely.
So why bother?
Many believe Anwar is innocent of the allegations of sodomy and the porn tape and what have you. If that is what we believe then let it be. Let’s not bother with an inquiry or investigation or whatever because the chances would be the findings or verdict will not be what we want.
Let me put it this way: if you already believe that there is a God in Heaven and that when we die we would go to either Heaven or Hell and Muhammad or Jesus or whoever is our Prophet and there is no changing our mind on this matter, does it serve any purpose talking about this matter?
If I tell you I believe what you believe, you will be extremely happy. And if I tell you that you are talking crap and what you believe is a myth, you will be terribly unhappy.
In short, you do not wish to discuss or debate this issue. You want me to agree with you and not contradict you. Better we just avoid the issue and not talk about it then.
You get my drift?

But (I love this wonderful word - but), I recall that lawyer fella, Lingam who cavorted and holidayed with the judges etc, he was not too happy with the RCI's conclusion about his relationship and influence with the judges. He is challenging the RCI's findings in the court.
So whats wrong if some of us are challenging or querying or doubtful about the RCI findings on TBH's death?
All of us, whether for or against are entitled to our biased opinions about such matters, especially after having being lied to by politicians from BN for 50 years (and recently Pakatan politicians also seemed to have a penchant to tell half truths, no outright lies yet until they come into power eh?)

THE POINT HERE IS YOU WANTED SELANGOR BACK IN YOUR HANDS AT ALL COSTS. TOYOL HAD TO DO YOUR BIDDING AND FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION. YOUR PET DOGS BIT TOO HARD. THE REST IS HISTORY.

The above statement is the whole crux of the matter. What the RCI really independent? If it is not, the all its procedures and decision should be question - not just questioned but thoroughly - gone over with a fine tooth comb, every sordid detail dug up etc.
Only in this way can progress and the people's rights be protected. Only in this way can the Third Force be given it rightful place in govenrment of Malaysia.

But the point Najib made is based on the existence of 'A Truth'. Now what is this Truth? If the truth was found through a process that was just and seemed just then an outcome so deduced on that truth could be accepted by the rakyat. The real point is that the process that lead to declaring this truth, itself was flawed and therefore the "truth" that Najib says that we have to accept is no more true. The subsequently outcome from the declared "truth" is misleading and does not justify the crime. That is why the Bar Council said that full responsibility for Teoh Beng Hock’s death lies squarely and solely on the MACC and as such, the officers named in the report should be punished immediately for committing offences under sections 304 and 304A of the Penal Code, namely for culpable homicide not amounting to murder and for causing Teoh’s death by negligence.
So TBH, Kugan and Sarbaini 's death is all about a flawed process by the incompetent and conniving government agencies. These are the very people who have been entrusted to do the rightful but instead collude with the powers of the day to present false evidence. So how can the people be happy with the verdict when the very "truth" that Najib wants us to accept is not the truth.

In concluding its findings, whether the pill be bitter or sweet, the RCI's report must be intelligent, more specifically, intelligible.
What we are see in the media, is the ultimatum, meaning the Conclusion. What we don't really see, is how they specifically arrived to the conclusion, in terms of the multiple basis beyond reasonble doubt, that leads to each member's idea of why it should conclude that way.
This simply means that each expert must give their 'expert opinion' in their own words, and all of their opinions must be fathomable, justified, clear, logical, legal and conclusive, and then unamimously in tandem to form the ultimate conclusion. And their individual opinions along with theri names must be quoted clearly, to maintain accountability, which means if an 'expert' quotes a statement/finding that is ambiguous or inconclusive in some manner, but still is able to conclude in tandem with the rest, then this 'expert's' credibility and/or authority is in question.
If ever his credibility of logic, law or otherwise is in question, then he is not fit to be part of the panel of such esteem, honour and responsibility.
Did I confuse anyone? Hope not.
In short, I WILL swallow the pill, bitter or sweet, IF, and only IF the RCI can convince me how and why they have arrived at such a conclusion. Simply telling me the just a YES or a NO is NOT good enough for me. CONVINCE ME!

No, he has no point. Not when the whole circus was not conducted in a transparent and fair manner. I remember in not many years ago when cases of great importance happened, it usually involved highly respected figures from other commonwealth countries to make judgement. Justice must be seen to be done in the public eyes. It's no so when expert witness were bar from testifying in the beginning and not when the final report were deliberately delayed.

The Bar Council shudn't question the RCI's verdict. Kim Quek shudn't question the verdict. Hell, TBH's family shudn't question the verdict. NO ONE shud question the RCI's verdict!
The ultimate inference to this is that the RCI of TBH's death was a humongous, gigantic, complete and total waste of our time and money.
So, no RCI for Ahmad Sarbaini ya?

1) The people who ask for the RCI wants to hear the verdict already in their minds.
2) The RCI is flawed . Had made a mistake.
3) The RCI is bias to please the hidden hands behind.
4) The RCI is unnecessary ( in Malaysia ) . A waste of public fund.
So, whatever had happened already happened and since the RCI is final. What is the next course of action?. Sue the MACC and government for negligent or causing the death of Teoh through criminal force? The best would still be to sue first and then vote out Barisan Nasional come next election.

Will Najib dare appointment an RCI with 60% of it's members from the opposition. Will Najib then accept the verdict of such an RCI ? So it is only to be expected that Malaysians will reject any findings of an RCI if the RCI itself is suspect.
Malaysians still hope within their hope that one day the RCI can be independent.

Do remember too that the findings and recommendations of the 2 previous RCI's have not been acted upon by Najib. They are "still looking for certain witnesses' in the LIngam matter and that of the CJ who went on holiday with Lingam and Vincent Tan. This despite testimony in open hearing by witnesses of the respective culpabilities of Lingam and the CJ. UMNO/BN have repeatedly insulted our Agung with impunity!
So, right from the beginning the TBH RCI was a whitewash to find no one directly guilty who could be charged with Murder1 so that the guilty parties can be "kow thim" elsewhere.
Sounds familiar?
And the seeds of another whitewash coroner's inquiry is being sown with that scurillous Shafee's manipulation that Sarbaini's untimely and mysterious death was not murder.

Since when is this country's RCI telling the truth? All this while RCIs are being used to get lapdog agencies, and murderers off the hook. Same thing also with "inquest", nothing more than a "dog and pony show" to cover guilty regime's agents arses. So much so, now I have regarded the RCI and Inquest to be similar to "lawak bodoh Scenario" in TV3. Meaning, the outcome is so predictable you don't have to bother following the proceedings to know what the outcome is going to be.
(I am not talking about court cases here, I am talking about RCI and Inquest).

It is not so much as the RCI findings is not what we want to believe happened to TBH, but as analysed by the Bar Council, those spineless chaps in it made a illogical leap of logic and qouted an expert's opinion out of context to come to a conclusion wanted by the UMNOputras!!

One day, a voice talked to the cave, and said, “Come up into the light Come and enjoy the sunlight”. The cave replied, “I do not know what you mean by light. All I have ever known is darkness”. “Come and see for yourself,” said the voice. The cave mustered up enough courage and climbed slowly up from the depths of the earth. Suddenly, it reached the top of the earth and was surrounded by magnificent light, the likes of which the cave had never seen in its life. “This is beautiful,” said the cave. After enjoying the light for a while, the cave said to the sunlight, “Now it is your turn to come with me and see the darkness”. “What is darkness?” asked the sunlight. The cave answered, “Come and see for yourself”. So the sunlight decided to visit the cave’s home. As the sunlight entered the cave, it said, “Now show me your darkness”.!Author:Snad
Najib and his Dumno think they can argue with reality like we were all citizens of PinocchioLand !. Najib's RCI is like Gaddafi sending his 4WD ambulance to London, overland to pick up a wounded rebel for treatment in Libya or its like Najib hitting RM with a feather to question her spending 76 mil on a diamond but was not interested to know where she picked up such a vulgar sum.
