“Beng Hock would have weighed more if he was unconscious?” – Abdul Razak Musa, towering Malay, advocate extraordinaire, counsel for the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in the ongoing Teoh Beng Hock inquest.
Just how big an embarrassment this man is to the legal profession and the nation at large became apparent when he made it clear that his question narrated above was not posed in jest, but in all seriousness.
In reply, Dr Pornthip just looked at him in absolute bewilderment.
This man had the audacity to suggest to her that because the university in Thailand where she had obtained her formal tertiary education was not recognised by the Malaysian authorities, she might not have the requisite credentials to appear at the inquest as an expert witness.
Which university did he get his law degree from? Is that university recognised in Thailand?
Where, if at all, is it recognised?
Did he get to read law on merit or because of some quota system?
Is he a lawyer today on merit or because some nonsensical policy put in place years back contrived to create a pool of bumiputra professionals, regardless of competence?
Any court lawyer worth his salt knows that the expertise to render an opinion for the assistance of a court of law goes beyond mere paper qualification.
See what Wikipedia has to say of Dr Pornthip.
Perhaps, it is Dr. Pornthip’s response to Razak’s insinuation that she had come to give evidence with a view to attacking MACC, that spotlights the chasm between the examiner and the examined.
“I am here to defend the rights of the dead. Not for the Selangor government or anyone”, was the doctor’s reply.
She was here to help the coroner get at the truth.
Razak was hell-bent on doing otherwise.

We have a serious concern here.It appears that many Third World countries have a ruling class that has turned the administration into a racket run by an elite class of adminstrators for the benefit of the rich and famous.The way things are done may appear on the surface to be efficient because there is no one capable or willing enough to connect the dots, so to speak.And if Third World countries persist this line of approach to governance they will inevitably arrive at a situation where they will discover that democracy and justice will slowly but surely be taken to its burial grounds.In this regard, all Third World governments must resist the temptation to silence legitimate criticism with bogus charges of of being anti this or anti that.
The final odeal of Third World countries will come when their system of administration is inflicted with what is known as ” motor-neurone disease’ in which the system succumbs to a state of paralysis and options begin to shrink.Then finally one day these Third World countries will begin to realise, and it will be too late then, that their defence of a broken system will become inchoherant and without any shape or form. They will only be able to convince themselves by constantly asserting at international fora that the view from inside their bureaucratic palace the view was as rich as ever.

Dear Haris,
This is really hilarious except for the issue at hand is a grave matter. The fool opens his mouth and exposes his lack of real intelligence. This is the malaise affecting our nation. We have half baked people under the delusion of great intelligence.The racist headmistress is a crying shame to our nation. Datuk Najib should view this matter seriously as undermining his efforts to achieve 1Malaysia. Now is the time to show that he means business. Datuk Sri, this is the month of patriotism. Do the right thing. Start with this issue.
Such a racist person is a cancer in our society. She is a shame to the noble teaching profession. Send a strong message to all racist bigots. I personally know at least of one person who addresses Indian stedents as ‘orang Nigeria’.
Now coming back to this Razak. Is his lack of intelligence due to our education system? I think so because the policy makers are divorced from the executors at the implementation level at the Department. All too often the wrong people are promoted. Usually people of intelligence have characteristics like being broadminded, maturity of thinking, logical thinking, rational,and compassion for fellow human beings regardless of colour and creed. God convict the conscience of some people.

• mencipta satu masyarakat adil di mana kemakmuran Negara akan dapat dinikmati bersama secara adil dan saksama ;
• menjamin satu cara liberal terhadap tradisi-tradisi kebudayaannya yang kaya dan berbagai corak ; dan
• membina satu masyarakat progresif yang akan menggunakan sains dan teknologi moden.
MAKA KAMI, rakyat Malaysia, berikrar akan menumpukan seluruh tenaga dan usaha kami untuk mencapai cita-cita tersebut berdasarkan atas prinsip-prinsip yang berikut :

It looks to me like this “learned” MACC employee did not bother to study basic science when in school before going off to wherever it was to get that more “learned” degree.
So I attach here some scientific basics and a link to where he can get more detail and hopefully, some basic understanding.
THE WAY THINGS FALL
Galileo was probably the first to look closely at the way objects fell down to Earth. Legend has it that he climbed to the top of the leaning tower of Pisa and from there dropped simultaneously heavy and light balls, noting that they hit the ground at the same time. He thus demonstrated, contrary to some ancient claims, that heavy and light objects (“bodies”) fell at the same rate. Galileo’s studies created great interest, because they applied not only to simple falls–such as the fall of an apple from a tree, said to have inspired Newton–but were also relevant to the very practical subject of the trajectory of cannonballs.
ACCELERATION
A dropped object starts its fall quite slowly, but then steadily increases its velocity–accelerates–as time goes on. Galileo showed that (ignoring air resistance) heavy and light objects accelerated at the same constant rate as they fell, that is, their speed (or “velocity”) increased at a constant rate. The velocity of a ball dropped from a high place increases each second by a constant amount, usually denoted by the small letter g (for gravity). In modern units (using the convention of algebra, that symbols or numbers standing next to each other are understood to be multiplied) its velocity is:
the start — 0 (zero)
after 1 second– g meters/second
after 2 seconds– 2g meters/second
after 3 seconds– 3g meters/second
and so on. This is modified by the resistance of the air, which becomes important at higher speeds and usually sets an upper limit (“terminal velocity”) to the fall velocity–a much smaller limit for someone using a parachute than one falling without.
The number g is close to 10–more precisely, 9.79 at the equator, 9.83 at the pole, and intermediate values in between–and is known as “the acceleration due to gravity.” If the velocity increases by 9.81 m/s each second (a good average value), g is said to equal “9.81 meters per second per second” or in short 9.81 m/s2.
