NEW YORK, May 23 — The Trump administration yesterday revoked Harvard University’s authorization to enroll foreign students—who make up over a quarter of its student body—in a sharp escalation of the president’s conflict with the prestigious institution.
KUALA LUMPUR, May 23 — A notice informing Teoh Beng Hock’s family representative of the decision to classify his death as requiring no further action (NFA) was delivered last Tuesday.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the notice was sent to the family’s lawyer, Ramkarpal Singh, via letter and email on May 20 at 3:58 pm.
“The notification was issued by ACP NorAzizulkifli Mansor, deputy chief of the Selangor Criminal Investigation Department (Investigation/Legal),” he said in a statement yesterday.
Earlier today, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) announced that after reviewing all evidence in the investigation paper submitted by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), it had instructed that no further action be taken regarding Teoh’s death.
The AGC stated that their review found insufficient evidence to establish any offence against any individual under the law.
Razarudin explained that the police submitted the investigation paper to the AGC on April 17, following a directive from the Kuala Lumpur High Court on November 21 last year.
“The AGC then decided to classify the investigation paper as NFA on May 19,” he added.
In February, media reports quoted Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim confirming the government’s agreement to reopen the investigation into the case.
Teoh Beng Hock, who was political secretary to the then Seri Kembangan assemblyman Ean Yong Hian Wah, was found dead on July 16, 2009, at the Plaza Masalam building after giving a statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office located on the building’s 14th floor. — Bernama
