Paragraph 1: In 2017, Pastor Raymond Koh, a Christian pastor, became a victim of forced disappearance in Malaysia, with the case remaining in judicial dispute. August 30 is recognized by the UN as the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearance, a context in which the incident is recalled regarding investigations and legal actions.
Paragraph 2: The Kuala Lumpur High Court issued a ruling in 2025 holding the Malaysian government and police responsible for the disappearance, ordering compensation of about 37 million ringgits and directing investigations to be resumed. In 2026, the government sought to suspend the compensation, a move challenged by Koh's family. In 2026, the Court of Appeal upheld the suspension and kept investigations suspended, with the next hearing set to address whether police officers involved should be removed from the case.
Paragraph 3: Koh's family continues to pursue justice, with additional information shared through series and platform channels, and with prayer requests for Susanna's strength and for the lawyers as they prepare for the upcoming hearing.
