15 Years of Injustice: Remembering Teoh Beng Hock

Pause
Embed

Teoh Beng Hock was once a promising young journalist and political aide to a member of the Selangor state legislative assembly from Pakatan Rakyat. In 2009, he was called in for a MACC investigation. He was later found dead on the rooftop of a building near the MACC offices. His unexplained death has sparked public outcry and ongoing calls for justice and accountability.

However, 15 years in, there is still no justice for Teoh Beng Hock and no closure for his family. On the 13-16 of July, the Teoh Beng Hock Association For Democratic Advancement will be having a Walk for Justice and a Memorial Night in honour of Teoh Beng Hock.

We speak to Kenneth Cheng from the Teoh Beng Hock Association For Democratic Advancement.
