Police plan to pin sedition charge against Pornthip

By Dr Chen Man Hin, DAP life adviser

THE POLICE AND MACC HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA BY LEVELLING CHARGES OF SEDITION AGAINST LIM GUAN ENG AND THAI PATHOLOGIST PORNTHIP

If the Suara Keadilan report were read carefully, it is quite clear that the ‘leaked sources’ need not be from Pornthip, but could be from anyone who was connected to the autopsy room at the time the second post mortem was conducted.

The leaked source could be from MACC or the police who are usually privy to the information from the autopsy room.

The wild accusation that Pornthip was responsible for the leaks might backfire on the police and or MACC who have their own agenda, which is to attach blame on the pathologist Pornthip engaged by the opposition to get to the truth of the death of Teoh Beng Hock.

Pathologist Pornthip has a formidable reputation of world renown and would not resort to unethical behaviour. To implicate her for breach of ethics is foolish and ill advised.

The truth of the matter was that the cause TBH death was homicide 80% and possibly suicide 20% as stated by Pornthip to the Inquest on 21st October 2009. To prove her point Pornthip gave a power point presentation on the evidence from the first autopsy, which conclusively point to death by homicide.

The second autopsy could produce more clues and evidence to expose the truth of the matter. More likely these would only substantiate what Pornthip had already disclosed at the inquest.

The charges against Pornthip and Lim Guan Eng are a panic reaction of the police and MACC as they would have access to the truth, which must be very painful for them. Hence the allegations of sedition against Lim Guan Eng and Pornthip. They have a hidden agenda.

POLICE MIGHT HAVE HIDDEN AGENDA TO DECLARE THE INQUEST A ‘MISTRIAL’?

The MACC and police should be advised not to plan to declare the inquest a mistrial, in view of the so called leaks by Pornthip and Guan Eng.

The Inquest on the death of TBH has captured the attention of the world. International pathologists are involved. Any attempt to subvert the findings of the second autopsy would be exposed, and the integrity of the country would be subject to international condemnation and mockery.
