KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 19 — The Christian Federation of Malaysia (CFM) today condemned the abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh, saying that religious leaders should be spared from attacks or intimidation.
CFM chairman Rev Eu Hong Seng, in a statement, also said that CFM was praying for the success of the authorities in trying to locate Koh.
“The work of people of faith in such communities must be free from threats of violence and intimidation.
“We pray for the success of law enforcement and investigating officers to locate the missing pastor and bring him to safety,” he said.
Koh was reportedly abducted by a group of masked men along Jalan Bahagia between 10.30am and 10.45am last Monday.
Koh’s wife said her husband, who is founder of a group called Harapan Komuniti that was started over 10 years ago, had no known enemies.
The family of the pastor has since offered RM10,000 as reward to anyone with information on his whereabouts.
