IPOH: Teoh Beng Hock’s fiancee has entered the blogosphere to express her feelings and views on life and death.
Soh Cher Wei, whose blog “Don’t Say Goodbye” (http://sohcherwei.blogspot.com/), has just published a poem-like post which describes how she has been coping after his death.
Soh wrote that the two of them had been unlucky as those with self-interests had treated them like pawns in a game of chess.
“In the end, you are blamed (and) you are also gone forever,” she said.
She noted that it would be better for Teoh to be living “in the other world” than here.
She said she was only putting up a brave front now so as not to let others worry about her.
“The right to choose is not within my hands from the start. I have no option to say ‘No’, I have no right to object. I could only obey and follow the given path. I have no choice at all,” she wrote in the Mandarin blog.
In the Sept 23 entry, entitled “Am I Happy?”, Soh said with the people around her at ease, she would feel less sorry for herself.
Soh lamented that no one could provide her with an answer.
Despite all these upheavals, Soh gave her word that she would not commit suicide as she did not want to end up in hell, never to be reincarnated.
“We will then be apart as you are in heaven,” she wrote.
Before she ended, Soh said she would be reunited with Teoh after his death was avenged.
“Only death by old age awaits me now,” she said.
A check yesterday found that the blog had garnered 57 comments, mostly words of encouragement.

Teoh family outraged at MACC chief's suicide theory
By Debra Chong
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 7 – As the inquest into the death of a Selangor government political aide drags on with no clear end in sight, his grieving family’s frustration is fast turning into fury.
This is especially over the latest reported remarks made by the chief commissioner of the national anti-graft body, which many believe to have had a hand in pushing him over the edge.
The family of the late Teoh Beng Hock denounced the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) Datuk Seri Ahmad Said Hamdan for publicly insinuating that the 30-year-old political secretary had committed suicide because he “could not withstand the pressure”.
Teoh’s younger sister, Lee Lan noted that Ahmad Said had told Chinese-language daily, Sin Chew Daily, earlier this month that he had been informed of 10 cases of people jumping from buildings after being investigated by Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) since its set-up.
The MACC, formed in January this year, was modelled after the ICAC.
“He also said that if people investigated could not withstand the pressure and jumped from the building, there was nothing that they (MACC) could do,” Lee Lan told The Malaysian Insider, repeating her statement to reporters last Saturday after saying prayers for her brother at the Seck Kia Eenh Temple in Malacca.
“If the MACC continues to make irresponsible remarks which cannot be substantiated with proof, we are prepared to go and see the Prime Minister again to urge him to immediately set up a comprehensive Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate into Beng Hock’s cause of death,” she added, speaking for the rest of her family.
The family scored a meeting with Datuk Seri Najib Razak in his Putrajaya office on July 28.
“No stone will be left unturned in finding out the real cause of death and, if there is any foul play, action will definitely be taken,” the PM promised them then.
Lee Lan, who was the closest of three other siblings to Teoh, challenged Ahmad Said to answer three questions:
1. Who saw Beng Hock jump from [the] MACC building?
2. Beng Hock was classified as a witness in the investigation, what pressure would he have faced?
3. Will MACC’s interrogation method bring about pressure on the witness or suspect to cause them to jump to death?
Teoh was found dead outside the MACC’s Selangor office in Plaza Masalam, Shah Alam on July 16, the same day he was to register his marriage to his pregnant sweetheart.
He had been interrogated overnight by MACC investigators probing claims that his boss, first-term Selangor DAP state lawmaker and executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, had unlawfully dipped his fingers into state funds.
The inquest will resume tomorrow after a one week break.

释明圆法师协助‧明福“回家”了
（马六甲）在马六甲青云亭释明圆法师的协助下，逝世近2个月的赵明福终於“回家”了！
释明圆法师週日（9月6日）下午在释迦院明福牌位置放处诵经后，前往他亚罗牙也老家进行设立牌位仪式，先后耗时3小时，让明福回家“团聚”！
张秀花告诉记者，家里设了明福牌位后，她有“明福回家”的感觉，心里比较安乐。
丽君则表示，现在赵家最大的心愿，是真相能早日水落石出，不要一再拖延，大家不希望明福死得不明不白。
明福指示要“回家”
根据赵家远亲郭金福表示，家属是获得“指点”，获悉明福想“回家”的意愿。
仪式后，释明圆法师表示，他是协助將明福的“魂”
请回家，並设立牌位，直到他逝世满100天完成圆坟仪式（10月10日）后，下午才“除灵”（去除灵位）。
“到时，明福將与歷代祖先牌位‘合炉’，往后一起祭拜。”
东禪寺住持释觉诚法师特別赠送赵家一个佛首座，让家人可在家诵经，將功德回向明福。
週日是7月16日逝世的赵明福做“七七”，他的父母赵亮辉和张秀花、大姐赵丽君及妹妹赵丽兰、妻子苏淑慧及父母等亲友皆到释迦院祭拜至亲，向明福做最后一次的告別。
家人为明福准备了很多食物，包括素荤两式佳肴、糕点、发糕、水果、饼乾、冰淇淋和月饼等。

不满反贪会言论‧赵家或再见首相
（马六甲）赵明福妹妹赵丽兰表示，若反贪污委员会继续发表没有根据及不负责任的言论，赵家准备再次与首相拿督斯里纳吉见面，要求他即刻成立一个全面的皇家调查委员会，彻查明福的死因。
“我们感到心痛，当我们日夜期望明福的死因能水落石出时，反贪污委员会主席拿督斯里阿末赛益却发表高度不负责任的言论。”
赵丽兰今日（週日，9月6日）上午在马六甲释迦院祭拜哥哥赵明福“七七”后，向记者发表谈话。
阿末赛益於9月1日告诉《星洲日报》，据他所知，香港廉政公署成立至今，已有10人在受调查期间跳楼，他们也无可奈何。
赵丽兰表示，在反贪污局或反贪污委员会歷史中，没有发生过证人或嫌犯跳楼事件；因此，阿末赛益的言论明显是指，明福是因为承受不了压力而跳楼。
3问题挑战阿末赛益
她说，赵家强烈抗议阿末赛益的言论，並挑战他回答3项问题：
（一）是谁看到赵明福跳楼自杀？
（二）明福由始至终都是被反贪污委员会列为证人，他会面对甚么压力？
（三）当局的盘问是否会造成证人或嫌犯崩溃而跳楼？
另一方面，赵丽兰感谢眾多亲友、公眾、法师及佛教组织，自7月16日以来为明福祈祷、诵经及超渡。

苏淑慧替爱夫立碑‧明福“已婚”身份入土
（雪兰莪‧士毛月）逝世逾一个半月的赵明福长眠於富贵山庄，今日（週五，9月4日）时家人为他举行立碑仪式。苏淑慧以爱妻身份为明福立碑，让生前还来不及成家的明福带著“已婚”身份入土为安。按照华人传统习俗，家属必须在亲人逝世后的100天內，为已故者完成立碑、超渡及旺山日仪式。
赵明福於7月16日逝世后，无论是举殯日或安葬在墓园后，名牌上都是写著“赵明福相公”，而这是已逝的未婚人士所使用的称呼。
遗相以隱雕方式呈现
不过，他的未婚妻苏淑慧已在8月15日当天入门，媳妇身份获得宗族的確认，是男方家族的一份子，因此週五才得以以妻子之名为明福立碑，並在墓碑上刻名。
由於学校已开课，身为老师的淑慧必须返回峇都巴辖上班，无法出席週五的立碑仪式，整个仪式由哥哥赵铭基、大姐赵丽君及妹妹赵丽兰代劳。
尚未走出丧儿之痛的赵母张秀花则默默地站或坐在墓园旁，时而望著爱儿的坟墓，时而低头不语，只有在孩子们张罗祭品时才稍微有了动作。
赵家为明福带来鲜果和糕点，也为他烧了一些纸扎品如电视机、轿车、冷气机、衣物、金银等等，整个仪式从早上9时开始至10时30分才结束。
协助赵家完成立碑仪式的富贵集团风水部总经理林致劭披露，他们將为明福进行为期3天的超渡，从週五开始至週日，其家属会在最后一天参与超渡仪式。
此外，家属也必须在10月10日的“旺山日”再回到墓园来，为明福“圆坟”，算是为明福往后的“住所”举行“入伙庆典”。
他补充，明福的遗相有別於一般的照片，反而是仿照一代歌姬白光的遗相一样，以隱雕的方式呈现，凸显明福的面貌。

42名反贪会小组成员应召开紧急会议，讨论阿末赛益是否适合继续当反贪会主席，否则他们应促政府革除他的职位！
马来西亚反贪污委员会主席拿督斯里阿末赛益对赵明福于於7月16日活生生的进入反贪会总部14楼，隔天却被发现卧屍在5楼的不明不白事件，表现得冷酷无情。
阿末赛益告诉星洲日报说，据他所知，香港廉政公署成立至今，已有10人在受调查期间跳楼；如果被调查的人承受不了压力跳楼，他们也无可奈何。
阿末赛益的言论显然是把赵明福的死因，归咎於承受不了反贪会调查的压力而自杀，企图以香港廉政公署成立至今，已有10人在受调查期间跳楼自圆其说。
阿末赛益应証明，香港廉政公署成立至今，已有10人在受调查期间跳楼，如果他只是随口说说，却拿不出証据，是一种极不负责任的做法。
此外，在这10宗香港自杀案中，有几人是嫌犯及几人是証人，因为反贪会不断的宣称，赵明福是以証人，而非嫌犯身份被录取口供。
如果阿未赛益拿不出証据証明上述10人自杀，他就应对自己的不负责任言论道歉。
为了推搪赵明福死因的责任，阿末赛益完全漠视了人民对反贪会的盖世太保式查案手法之关注，並表现出对赶明福的死及其家人的悲痛，亳无悔意或同情心。
阿末赛益也应解释，为何反贪会如此不负责任地对赵明福的死因，作出两种推论，一种是他自杀，另一种是他被反贪会以外的人谋杀。
42名反贪会各小组的成员应召开紧急会议，讨论阿末赛益是否适合继续当反贪会主席，否则他们应促政府革除他的职位！
此外，这42名小组成员不应对反贪会不断蔑视向贪污宣战法定目标，却向民联宣战，充当巫统/国阵要推翻民联雪州政府的爪牙做法视若无睹。
