PETALING JAYA, Feb 17 — Police are scrutinising the closed circuit television (CCTV) recording of Jalan Bahagia for leads into the abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh on Monday afternoon.
ASP Supari Mohammad, who is the investigation officer, said they had retrieved the CCTV recording and he confirmed it captured Koh being forced out of his car and into another vehicle by a group of men.
“We are in the midst of retrieving more information regarding the vehicle and its number plate,” he said.
Supari said Kelana Jaya police station received an anonymous tip-off about Koh’s disappearance on Monday afternoon.
A second police report was lodged by Koh’s son, Jonathan, on Tuesday night.
Yesterday, Petaling Jaya district police recorded statements from Koh’s wife Susanna Liew and son.
Liew told Malay Mail police had been helpful and were exhausting every means to find her husband.
“We don’t know why anyone would abduct him, there is no reason for anyone to be doing this,” she said.
“My husband is a peace-loving man who never harmed anyone out of malicious intent nor has he looked for trouble.”
Liew, who has been married to Koh for 34 years, was also saddened by misleading messages circulating through Whatsapp that her husband was found by the Kelana Jaya police.
“There is no truth in this and finding him would have been a happy event and the family would certainly have made a proper announcement,” said the mother of three.
“Whether the inaccurate news was circulated by well-meaning individuals or otherwise, I hope it will stop as it causes stress to the family.”
In 2011, Koh was the executive director for Harapan Komuniti.
An event organised by the group became a controversy with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) for having Muslims and non-Muslims in attendance.
