RCI head: Agong to decide if report to be made public
Only the Agong can decide whether the report by the Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the death of DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock can be made public.
Panel head James Foong said this after submitting the RCI's 124-page report to the Agong at his palace this morning.
Another copy will be submitted to the Prime Minister's Office in Putrajaya this afternoon.
The five panel members presented their findings at 10.30am to Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin, who had a 30-minute audience with them.
The RCI commenced gathering evidence from Feb 14, 2011 and ended its proceedings on May 18, 2011.
A total of 70 witnesses testified, and 19,200 notes of proceedings were recorded, said Foong.
