Human BBQ Anyone?

By Admin

A 53-year-old coffeeshop owner doused himself with petrol in an attempt to commit suicide outside the Komtar building here, which houses Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's office. The man, identified as Teoh Bak Seng, was upset that several doors on the second floor had been closed to prevent public access due to security reasons.

Prior to that, Teoh had staged a lone protest with placards condemning the decision.
But when police officers attempted to pacify him, the businessman doused himself with petrol, and shouted: “Saya mahu bunuh diri” (I want to kill myself).

What's really amusing here is that Teoh came with gasoline but apparently 'forgot' to bring along a match that would have satisfied the shutterbugs (see pic above) and the spectators who wanted to see a Human BBQ. One can understand the predicament Teoh is in, but the manner he went about it can only be deduced as a publicity stunt which has the signature of BN/Umno on it to discredit the Pakatan Rakyat Government of Penang.

Do you really believe that Malaysians are so sadistic that they would allow him to torch himself? Maybe, someone should have thrown him a lighter (Sorry for the punt. I just can't help it).
