Level 14, Tarak Ong Woo... Traditional Chinese culture

''Hari ini kami hanya dibawa kesemua tempat untuk melihat suasana serta keadaan. Saya tidak mahu membuat sebarang spekulasi meskipun tingkap di tingkat 14 pejabat SPRM boleh dibuka dengan luas. Dari tempat saya berdiri sebentar tadi (di tingkat 14) memang boleh melihat mayat Beng Hock yang sebelum ini ditemui di bahagian bumbung tingkat lima.''
-Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, peguam pemerhati bagi kerajaan negeri Selangor

''Ini mungkin disebabkan terlepas pandang ataupun silap pandang. Polis sekadar menyiasat kononnya Beng Hock telah membunuh diri. Tetapi perkara itu boleh memudaratkan kes kami. Pada peringkat ini, kami akan melihat dahulu dan terus mendengar keterangan saksi-saksi. Sekiranya terdapat keperluan, kami tidak akan teragak-agak untuk memohon siasatan lanjut dijalankan atau sebarang perintah lain."
-Gobind Singh, peguam bagi pihak keluarga Teoh

"Kami sedang menaiki anak tangga ke tingkat 15 melalui pintu belakang. Bila kami sampai ke tingkat 15, kami dapat ada kesan sepanjang dua kaki atas lantai anak tangga tersebut. Apabila tiba di tingkat 15, kami tidak dibenarkan melihat setiap bilik di situ. Setelah meninjau kami ternampak lebih banyak kesan pada satu dinding bilik apabila melihat menerusi kaca pintu. Ia nampak seperti darah. Saya tidak dapat katakan secara pasti. Sekali lagi, kami bertanya kepada pengarah dan pegawai penyiasat dan mereka kata mereka tidak tahu mengenainya dan tidak memasukkannya sebagai sebahagian daripada siasatan."
-Lim Lip Eng, Peguam yang juga anggota Parlimen Segambut

Four
Number 4 (四; accounting 肆; pinyin sì) is considered an unlucky number in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese cultures because it is nearly homophonous to the word "death" (死 pinyin sǐ). Due to that, many numbered product lines skip the "4": e.g. Nokia cell phones (there is no series beginning with a 4), Palm[citation needed] PDAs, Canon PowerShot G's series (after G3 goes G5), etc. In East Asia, some buildings do not have a 4th floor. (Compare with the American practice of some buildings not having a 13th floor because 13 is considered unlucky.) In Hong Kong, some high-rise residential buildings miss ALL floor numbers with "4", e.g. 4, 14, 24, 34 and all 40-49 floors. As a result, a building whose highest floor is number 50 may actually have only 36 physical floors.

In Singapore during the early 2000s, Alfa Romeo introduced a new model, the 144. Nobody bought it, so they had to change the model number.[citation needed]

Number 14 is considered to be one of the unluckiest numbers in Chinese culture. Although 14 is usually said as 十四 "shí sì," which sounds like 十死 "ten die", it can also be said as 一四 "yī sì" or 么四 "yāo sì", literally "one four". Thus, 14 can also be said as "yāo sì," literally "one four," but it also sounds like "want to die" (要死 pinyin yào sǐ). In Cantonese, 14 sounds like "sap6 sei3", which sounds like "sat6 sei2" meaning "certainly die" (實死).

Ironically, in the Rich Text Format specification, language code 4 is for the Chinese language.
