Press Statement by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 22 July 2014.
Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Abu Bakar has never ceased to serially baffle and confuse Malaysians when he forgets his statutory role as a IGP but talks instead like an extremist UMNO politician. Khalid Abu Bakar should be ashamed that instead of showing any remorse on the police behalf for failing to find those who caused the death of Teoh Beng Hock, the IGP is now trying to divert attention for his failure by taking action against Lim Kit Siang for sedition.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said that DAP Parliamentary leader Lim Kit Kit Siang had committed an offence under the Sedition Act by stating that Teoh was murdered and that the real perpetrators had yet to be arrested in an article in The Rocket, published on July 16. The IGP claimed that Lim Kit Siang’s article on the fifth-year anniversary of Teoh Beng Hock’s death was attempting to incite people to think that Teoh Beng Hock was killed.
Teoh, 30, the political secretary to Selangor executive councillor Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009 on the fifth floor corridor of Plaza Masalam in Shah Alam after he had given a statement at the office of the Selangor branch of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on the 14th floor of the building. What is wrong for Kit Siang to write in his article “Malaysians will not rest until justice is done for the killing of Teoh Beng Hock” and both DAP and Pakatan Rakyat will continue to highlight the injustice of Teoh Beng Hock’s unresolved murder?
Is it now a crime in Malaysia to seek for justice to be done and that the killers be punished?
Clearly the IGP is callous and inhumane for not feeling or understanding the pain and loss to the family members and friends from the death of an innocent man. Teoh Beng Hock’s family had rejected in no uncertain terms any suggestion or implication that Teoh caused his own death because he was happily about to get married and become a father. It is the duty of the authorities, including the police, to solve this murder and find Teoh’s killers.
By wanting to punish and act against Kit Siang under the Sedition Act for stating that Malaysian will not rest until justice is done for the killing of Teoh Beng Hock, the IGP might as well act against the entire party leadership of the DAP and all our 37 MPs and 105 State Assemblypersons who take a similar principled position. Khalid should decide whether he wants to act responsibly and professionally in his statutory role as IGP by stopping such a politically motivated witch-hunt against Kit Siang or else Khalid should resign as IGP and be the extremist UMNO politician if he so wishes.

槟城州首席部长林冠英于2014年7月22日在乔治市光大发表的文告
全国总警长卡立阿布巴卡本应该为他无法找出是谁导致赵明福冤死而有一丝愧疚感到可耻，但他如今却反倒过来企图为他的失败转移视线，以煽动罪名对付林吉祥。
丹斯里阿都卡立阿布巴卡一直不停的让马来西亚民众困惑及混淆，因为他的言行犹如巫统极端政治人物，却一直忘了自己作为全国总警长的职责。全国总警长卡立阿布巴卡本应该为他无法找出是谁导致赵明福冤死而有一丝愧疚感到可耻，但他如今却反倒过来企图为他的失败转移视线，以煽动罪名对付林吉祥。
全国总警长丹斯里阿布巴卡说，行动党国会领袖林吉祥在《火箭报》7月16日出版，关于赵明福是被谋杀，真凶还未被逮捕的言论已经构成了煽动罪。全国总警长认为林吉祥在赵明福身亡五周年的文章煽动人们以为赵明福是被杀害的。
赵明福，得年30岁，曾为雪兰莪行政议员欧阳悍华的政治秘书，于2009年7月16日在位于沙亚南Masalam大厦14楼反贪委员会雪兰莪分局录完口供后，被人发现横死在该大厦五楼露天走廊。林吉祥文章中“赵明福遭杀害的正义未获得伸张，马来西亚人不会罢休”及行动党与民联继续关注赵明福被杀害所遭到毫无正义可言的冤案一直未解，到底犯了什么错？
如今，马来西亚在罪案之前，正义是不是应该得以伸张，杀人者是不是应该受到严惩？
很明显，全国总警长是麻木不仁，毫无人性，他完全无法体会及理解家人及朋友因为明福冤死所遭受的痛苦与无助。明福家人完全无法接受语义不明指称他自己导致自己死亡的说法，因为明福当时正快乐的要结婚及成为人父。有关当局，包括警方有职责解决这件凶案及找出杀害明福的凶手。
全国总警长既然因为“赵明福遭杀害的正义未获得伸张，马来西亚人不会罢休”的言论，要以煽动罪对付林吉祥，那他就得同时对付秉持同样原则与立场的全体行动党领袖、37名国会议员及105名州议员。卡立阿布巴卡需决定他是否要负责任及专业的执行他身为全国总警长的职责，
停止这项充满政治动机的猎巫行动对付林吉祥，否则，卡立就必须辞掉其全国总警长的职位，称心地当起他那极端巫统政治人物。
