[UPDATED]: A-GC: Insufficient evidence in Teoh Beng Hock case, probe ends with NFA

KUALA LUMPUR: The investigation into Teoh Beng Hock's death in 2009 has been classified as No Further Action (NFA), the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) has confirmed. The A-GC said that there is insufficient evidence to prove any offence against any individual under the law. "The department has reviewed and examined the entire investigation file submitted. "Upon reviewing all the available evidence, it was found that there is insufficient evidence to prove any offence against any individual under the law. "Therefore, the directive given is that NFA will be taken in relation to this investigation file," it said in a statement today. Earlier, the Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement revealed that the case had been classified as NFA. Previously, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that the government had agreed to reopen the investigation into Teoh's death after meeting the deceased's family. Teoh was found dead on July 16, 2009 at the Plaza Masalam building, after giving a statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) at its office on the 14th floor of the same building. He was the political secretary to then-Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah, who served as the Selangor executive councillor for local government, the legalisation of illegal factories, and new village development. On Jan 5, 2011, the Shah Alam Coroner's Court ruled that Teoh's death was not due to suicide or murder and found that there was no third-party involvement. On July 21, 2011, the Royal Commission of Inquiry formed to investigate his death concluded that he had died by suicide. However, on Sept 5, 2014, the Court of Appeal overturned the ruling, determining that his death had resulted from unlawful acts by one or more unknown individuals. On Feb 4, 2025, CID director Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain said that his department would use three-dimensional (3D) scanning technology to "reconstruct the crime scene" as part of efforts to reinvestigate the case. The equipment was used to produce a visual representation of the scene.

Teoh Beng Hock death probe classified as No Further Action, claims NGO

KUALA LUMPUR: A non-governmental organisations claims that the investigation into Teoh Beng Hock's death 16 years ago has been classified as No Further Action (NFA). The Teoh Beng Hock Association for Democratic Advancement said this at a press conference invitation. "On May 20, the police, through its Criminal Investigation Department (CID), wrote a letter to the solicitor of Teoh Beng Hock's family, Ramkarpal Singh, on the findings of its new investigation regarding the death of Beng Hock that began in February 2025. "Police classified the case as NFA," it said in its invitation letter sighted by "Berita Harian" today. The invitation said that Teoh's family will also attend the press conference. The "New Straits Times" has contacted Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain to confirm the matter.
