Malaysia's government and police have been ordered to pay millions in compensation to the family of a pastor who was abducted more than eight years ago.
Raymond Koh, then aged 62, was abducted in broad daylight on the morning of 13 February 2017 while driving his car in a suburb outside Kuala Lumpur. He has not been seen since. CCTV footage from the time appears to show more than eight masked men in black surrounding the car.
In 2020, his wife Susanna sued the government and several senior police officers for negligence in their police investigation. On 5 November 2025, the Malaysian High Court ruled that the government and the police were liable for Raymond’s abduction; and that at least one police officer was involved.
