The Commission of Inquiry to investigate the death of political aide Teoh Beng Hock begins hearing tomorrow at the Court Complex in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur.

The first session of the commission, headed by Federal Court Judge James Foong Chen Yuen, is likely to determine the number of witnesses and the scope of the inquiry.

NONEThe commission is expected to call the first witness after deciding on several applications from Teoh's family and the Selangor government.

One application from Teoh's family was for their lawyers Karpal Singh and Gobind Deo to question witnesses.

The commission is tasked with investigating the death of Teoh (left) and determining whether there was any impropriety committed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission when questioning him as a witness, in the course of a probe into alleged misuse of Selangor government funds.

With Foong in the commission are former Federal Court Judge Abdul Kadir Sulaiman, former Court of Appeal Judge T Selventhiranathan, forensic pathologist Dr Bhupinder Singh of Penang Hospital, and Prof Dr Mohamed Hatta Shaharom, Dean of Cyberjaya Medical Science College University.

The commission is expected to complete its inquiry within three months.
