- The High Court in Kuala Lumpur has ordered the government to pay daily compensation to the family of missing pastor Raymond Koh.

- The pastor was abducted in 2017, with evidence pointing to involvement by police officers, yet his whereabouts remain unknown.
A Malaysian court has taken a bold stand for justice by awarding significant compensation to the family of Pastor Raymond Koh, who was abducted while serving his community. This case stands as a solemn reminder of the need for courage and faith in the face of oppression and uncertainty.
Pastor Koh’s wife, Susanna Liew, began legal action after years of anguish and unanswered questions, ultimately leading to a precedent-setting judgment that acknowledges wrongdoing by authorities.
Justice Su Tiang Joo noted in court, “The enforced disappearance of Koh collectively constitutes oppression of the highest order.”
While the funds are being held in trust until Pastor Koh’s fate is known, the ruling requires police to renew their investigation and keep higher authorities informed.
Susanna Liew responded: “After nearly nine years of the loss of a husband and father, anguish and uncertainty, the judgment brings a long-awaited decision.”
She also stated, “Though this will not bring Koh back, it is somewhat a vindication and closure for our family. We dedicate this struggle and judgment to Koh, a man of faith, compassion and courage, and to all victims of enforced disappearances.”
This ruling highlights the vital importance of standing strong for truth and righteousness, reminding us to lift victims and their families up in prayer and to hold authorities accountable for safeguarding freedom and justice.
