KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim says he will meet the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock to review their memorandum demanding justice over his death.
"I am aware of the incident that occurred outside Parliament today involving the family of the late Teoh Beng Hock. I assure that I will meet with them soon and review their memorandum," he said in a post on X.
Teoh's body was discovered on the fifth-floor landing of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.
He was earlier questioned overnight by Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers on the 14th floor of the building.
At the time, Teoh was the political aide to the then-Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong.
A Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) in July 2011 ruled suicide as the cause of death.
In September 2014, however, the Court of Appeal ruled that Teoh's death was caused by multiple injuries from a fall from the building which was accelerated by "an unlawful act or acts of a person or persons unknown".
In May 2015, the government agreed to pay Teoh's family RM600,000 as settlement for a civil suit initiated in 2012 for negligence resulting in his death.
Teoh's parents filed for a judicial review to compel the police to complete investigations into his 2009 death.
The hearing resumes on July 29.
