Memorial services draw hundreds

An increasing number of people are venting their outrage over the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock who perished under mysterious circumstances after assisting the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in its investigations on Thursday.

Last night, simultaneous memorial services were held in Penang, Ipoh and Muar, drawing hundreds. More of such events have been planned.

In Seri Kembangan, some 800 people packed a tiny community hall - more than double the previous night - to hear speeches by two DAP leaders and several of Teoh's friends and colleagues.

The larger crowd was attributed to the fact that Teoh was the political secretary to Seri Kembangan state rep Ean Yong Hian Wah and was well-known in the area.
