Beng Hock’s case seems unlikely to be solved as we all expected earlier. Many will think that if Beng Hock did not serve as a political aide, his case would have been solved long time ago or perhaps, he may still be with us today. If this young media worker did not involve in politics after the 12th General Elections, the tragedy might not happen to him and his family.
If this case only involves the death of a citizen, and not a politician, the pathologists may have done their duties without any further issues. Even if the victim is a politician, but he did not die at the office of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), there is no need of appointing different forensics specialists from the two parties.
If the case does not involve the interest of both government and opposition,
1. Thai Pathologist Pornthip would not be threatened and refused to come to Malaysia, and she would not be called as a liar.
2. British Pathologist Peter Vanezis would not be questioned of his professionalism for defending the MACC, and he would not be threatened as well.
As for us, if forensic becomes politics, the truth will not be unveiled easily.
That is the voice of the people.
