FOOD FOR THOUGHT

So much had been said and written on the death of Teo Beng Hock. The key question to be asked is WHO is really interested in finding out the truth on the cause of his death? The truth is only Teo's's family. They have lost their beloved son and no one can ever know or fathom their sufferings except they themselves. And they want whoever was responsible be punished

The rest is immaterial. The DAP has its own agenda and so is the MCA . As for the government it has to do the needful. The fact is the real truth if at all can be uncovered might become abitter pill to swallow for which no one is prepared to face. If any party is implicated like a political party for example, that party is doomed be it the DAP, the MCA, Gerakan or UMNO. But among these parties DAP and MCA appear to be competing to take the centre stage to become the champion for the late Teo Beng Hock. The STAKES must be very high

With modern technology and sophistication in investigative techniques, the truth can be established with relative ease. In fact the truth can also be tailored to meet certain objective, by doing the wrong thing for the right reason. THIS is the DILEMMA we are facing to day. One man's meat is another man's poison. Yes we want the truth but the truth hurts and it may hurt many people. We know that A is corrupt and we can go all out to prove that A is corrupt. But we wont because the bottomline is too much a risk to bear. This is what in fact has been going on in this country. High profile cases, be it murder, corruption or whatever where the stakes are high and where it connects so many people THAT MATTER, THEY ALL usually end up in much ado about nothing

Do you want to bet that the Royal Commission will come with anything DECISIVE? An international private investigator once wrote in his book that for politically complicated or high profile cases and to a certain extent Judicial cases, the modus operandi of investigation or prosecution as the case may be is NOT to start from the beginning but to DECIDE first and formost what should be the OUTCOME. In short the FINAL outcome that we want. We here can refer to the power that be or Mr X or Organisation Y. that will finally CALL THE SHOT. Having done that, you mobilise and put all your resources in place to work and every step of the investigation or process must be MONITORED to ENSURE that they all JIVE together towards the ULTIMATE OUTCOME. If for some reason that there is possibility of slippage or deviation along the way that can threaten and DERAIL the final outcome, then the parameters must be changed and the actors must take action immediately. Use whatever means because the ends justify the means. And so the process goes till the end when in fact it is already known.

Just think and ponder on this!!
