PUTRAJAYA : The decision to reopen the investigation into the death of DAP aide Teoh Beng Hock must come from the Attorney General Chambers (AGC), said Home Miniser Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
He was responding to DAP's Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkapal Singh who questioned Muhyiddin over the status of the investigation into Teoh's death.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun who was also present, said police had yet to hear from the AGC
"We have not received any instruction from the AGC," he told reporters at a press conference to present the Malaysian citizenship approval letters here.
Teoh a former journalist with Sin Chew Daily, who was an aide to Selangor assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah, fell to his death from the MACC's office in Shah Alam on July 16, 2009.
He was taken in for questioning a corruption investigation.
While three MACC officers were directly blamed in the incident, none were convicted over Teoh's death.
In 2014, the Court of Appeal dismissed the coroner's open verdict in the inquest over his death and ruled that his death was caused by multiple injuries from a fall from the 14th floor of Plaza Masalam as a result of, or which was accelerated by an unlawful act or acts of person unknown, inclusive of MACC officers who were involved in his arrest and investigation.
Earlier, Muhyiddin presented 200 citizenship documents to Malaysians.
Muhyiddin said to address the citizenship issue among Indians, the government has given priority to Indian applicant aged 60 and above.
"The National Registration Department has received a total of 3,853 applications from stateless Indian that also includes 1,667 applicants aged 60 and above.
"From that number, only 1,641 individuals have met all the conditions and their citizenship application have been approved," he added
