The shoe theory
To another question on why no shoe print was found outside the window where Teoh was alleged to have stood before jumping, he said if the shoe soles were dusty, they could be easily seen.
When Gobind suggested that one of Teoh’s shoes was purposely thrown out of the window after his body was thrown to show elements of homicide in his death, Khairul said that in his opinion, the shoe dropped from Teoh’s foot because of strong impact.
Gobind: Would you agree with me that there was a possibility of the deceased being thrown out first, then the shoe?
Khairul: Yes, there was a possibility.
Gobind: Did you test the shoe for fingerprints?
Khairul: No.
Gobind: Isn’t it significant?
Khairul: Yes. But we have no facilities. (In other words, if they have no facilities, they do not need to perform the particular tests, even though it is important. I don’t mind having a job like this, ya know? Imagine that I can tell my boss this:- “Boss, I don’t have to do this task because I do not have the facility to assist my work”. Unfortunately, the only facility I’ll get from him is the packing order)
Gobind: Why not? You could have directed someone. You are the forensic expert on the scene.
Khairul: I expected the police to do it.
Gobind: But you didn’t make sure that they did it because it would have indicated a homicide. Were you covering it up?
Khairul: No. I don’t want to cover up.
Gobind also accused the witness of coming to the inquest to merely give his theories without any evidence.
Gobind: It was not a suicide, isn’t it true? Let’s be frank and fair… this means your theory comes to naught (and) you are wrong.
Khairul: There is the possibility.
Gobind: You are wrong. Your theory was based on facts but facts don’t exist.
Khairul: I don’t agree.
The pathologist will continue with his testimony on Monday.

From the pathologist’s response, we finally understand why Malaysia sits at the 9th ranking in the world with 62 deaths from H1N1 as we speak, while Singapore have 10 deaths, and Indonesia have only 6. That is the level of our professionalism. Malaysia Boleh.
