SHAH ALAM, July 20 - Kajang Municipal Councillor Tan Boon Wah tonight arrived at the Selangor police headquarters to give his statement to police to assist investigations into the death of political aide, Teoh Beng Hock, 30 at Plaza Masalam on Thursday.
Tan arrived at 9pm with his wife and lawyer.
Teoh, who was the aide to Ean Yong Hian Wah, the Selangor state executive councillor for New Village Development and Illegal Factory Task-force, was found dead on July 16, at a corridor of the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam after being questioned by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).
Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar had advised Tan to present himself at the police station since he had made a police report against the MACC last Saturday.
Tan had earlier refused to give his statement to the police.
Khalid had also said that if he (Tan) failed to give a statement on the report he had made, police would have to issue a notice under Section 11 of the Penal Code to order him to give a statement at the station or face the prospect of being charged for making a false report. - Bernama
