Collateral Damage
A not-too-farfetched conversation that would have transpired:
Lapdog Chief (DS ASH): Sir, what should we do now about the (BHT) case? The pressure to tell the truth is too great.
CEO: Of course, we will tell the truth.
ASH: How?
CEO: Your lead investigating officer will admit to 2nd degree (homicide not culpable to murder). Then we'll have a (kangaroo) court set-up to handle this case. He will be convicted to life - of course his face is never revealed, same modus operandi as Alantoyo.
ASH: And retire to farm life in apa-nama-kampung...
CEO: You know the game.
ASH: But how about the persistence pressure to appease the PR faction? And the immediate family members?
CEO: Well this unfortunate case will be officially classified as collateral damage in our war against the other, don't you forget that!
As for BHT's family, we will settle with them a decent sum and his wife will be offered a place in one of the local U. Same will be offered to his unborn child, but that should be beyond my concern now.
ASH: That will appease them?
CEO: With time, remember time is our precious commodity. We will bury BHT's memory with more pressing issues the nation is facing - immediately blitzing the media with shock-and-awe tactics. (mental note: the US taught us pretty much eh..)
ASH: I guess that should be it. Thank you again, Sir.
CEO: Now play your role, you know how to put up the right face in public. Whatever makes your department functions still apply, don't you forget that!
ASH: Yes, Sir!

Teoh Beng Hock , A Life Taken
Teoh Beng Hock, 30, husband and father-to-be, was summoned for interview with a government agency (MACC) and dead by next day - inside the premise he was interviewed in.Why does his life has to be sacrificed? For whom and for what?
No Royal Commision.
No big hats paying last respect at his funeral.
No amount of tears shed.
No words from you, whosoever, can reclaim what is his and only his.
MACC, you and your paymasters are cursed.
