Teoh family knew no murder probe opened years ago, court told
However, the family members of the late Teoh Beng Hock claim they were unaware of the matter until January 2026.
Cha Kee Chin (PH-Rasah) has questioned the delay in the Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) deciding on the investigation into Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Datuk Ismail Lasim's claim of being coerced to sign a proclamation for the removal of the state ruler. Cha stated that the people of Negri Sembilan want to know the status of the case, as the investigation paper was submitted to the A-GC on September 29.
He emphasized the need to take appropriate action under the law if he was indeed forced, or to address the issue if he was not. Cha, during a debate on the 2027 Budget at the Dewan Rakyat, was informed by the police that they are awaiting a decision and further instructions from the A-GC on the investigation paper. Despite this, Cha remains concerned as constituents are asking questions about the matter.
He also questioned the A-GC's ability to handle its workload, noting that the number of posts under its budget allocation remains unchanged at 2,001, while management expenditure increased from RM166 million to RM190 million. In a written reply on October 21, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail confirmed that police recorded statements from four individuals in connection with Ismail's case, with further action depending on the A-GC.
