The AGC said it had studied the police’s fresh investigation paper and found a lack of evidence to pin Teoh’s death on anyone.

“We found insufficient evidence in the statements recorded to prove that any offence had been committed under the law by any individual.

“Therefore, the order given (to the police) was that ‘no further action’ be taken in relation to this investigation paper,” it said in a statement.

Teoh, a former political aide, was found dead on July 16, 2009 after falling from the fifth floor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after being questioned for several hours by officers from the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

An inquest into his death initially returned an open verdict. However, in 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled that his death was caused by “one or more unknown persons”, including MACC officers.

Before 2018, two special investigation teams were set up – one in 2011 and the other in 2015 – to look into Teoh’s death, but both cases were classified as NFA by the public prosecutor.

In 2019, police launched an investigation under Section 342 of the Penal Code for wrongful confinement.

Another investigation was opened after the Kuala Lumpur High Court ordered the police last November to reopen and thoroughly reinvestigate all aspects of the death.

Earlier today, Teoh’s sister, Lee Lan, urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to fulfil his promise to deliver justice in the case, expressing disappointment that the latest investigation was once again classified as NFA.
