Koh's disappearance: Cops deny focus on proselytisation
Police have refuted Susanna Liew's claims that they are more interested in finding out about alleged proselytising by her missing husband pastor Raymond Koh rather than locating him.
The probe into the purported proselytising activity is only part of a thorough investigation in regards to Koh's disappearance, said Federal CID D5 (prosecution and legal division) principal assistant director Mior Faridalathrash Wahid.
Police have refuted Susanna Liew's claims that they are more interested in finding out about alleged proselytising by her missing husband pastor Raymond Koh rather than locating him.
The probe into the purported proselytising activity is only part of a thorough investigation regarding Koh's disappearance, said Federal CID D5 (prosecution and legal division) principal assistant director Mior Faridalathrash Wahid.
"It's untrue. As part of the whole investigation, we tackle this case from various angles. We don't exclusively focus on one aspect alone.
"I hope the family understands this while we continue to investigate this case," Mior told Malaysiakini.
Speaking to The Malaysian Insight, Liew revealed that police had again quizzed her and her son at the Kelana Jaya police station last month.
She alleged the 30-minute session focused on whether Koh had proselytised in the northern states in the past.
“They asked us about his trip up north where they said he was allegedly proselytising. I wasn’t there, so I don’t know about it. I was so surprised. What kind of questions are these?
“It has nothing to do with finding Koh. They should be going after the culprits,” Liew said, adding and that line of investigation was "a waste of time."
Liew also said that she's not hopeful over the special task force to look into the disappearance as "there are still no updates" from them.
In July, Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin announced that a special task force to probe the disappearance of Koh and Perlis activist Amri Che Mat following the Suhakam' inquiry into both cases.
The report made the conclusion that the police’s Special Branch was involved in the “enforced disappearances” of Koh and Amri.
The task force (above) led by retired High Court judge Abdul Rahim Uda also comprises Bukit Aman's Integrity and Standard Compliance Department director Zamri Yahya; Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission (EAIC) operations director Muhammad Bukhari Abdul Hamid; legal officer at the Public Prosecution Division of the Attorney-General’s Chambers Mohd Sophian Zakaria; and Police Force Commission (SSP) secretary Mohd Russaini Idrus.
Subsequently, MACC assistant commissioner Azian Umar and independent legal practitioner Roger Tan joined the team.
Koh was abducted by a group of masked individuals while driving in Kelana Jaya, Selangor on Feb 13, 2017.
A video of the abduction has been circulating on the Internet.
