Seeking Justice: The Ongoing Disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh
A Tale of Courage, Faith, and Unanswered Questions
The abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh on February 13th, 2017, remains an unresolved mystery that has left a community in anguish. Despite the passage of almost seven years, Pastor Koh's whereabouts remain unknown, and his car has never been located, leaving behind a void that time has failed to heal.
Forced Abduction and Ongoing Lawsuit:
His abduction, executed in a military-style operation that lasted less than 40 seconds, sent shockwaves through the Malaysian community. Pastor Koh's wife, Susanna, has taken a courageous step by filing a lawsuit against the Malaysian government and police leaders. Her quest for justice aims to compel the release of all information related to the incident and, hopefully, to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
Susanna's Struggle and Spiritual Strength:
In a poignant interview recorded two years after the abduction, Susanna shares the heart-wrenching moment she discovered her husband's disappearance. The police response, instead of offering solace, turned into an interrogation about the Christian work and gospel outreach they were involved in.
Despite prior threats due to his faith, Pastor Raymond Koh continued steadfastly on his spiritual path. His dedication was evident in the months preceding the abduction, where Susanna witnessed a deepening of his spiritual commitment. He immersed himself in God's Word, engaged in fervent prayer walks, and preached the gospel with unwavering passion.
Strength in Faith Amidst Grief:
Susanna's account reveals raw emotions of grief and pain, but also a remarkable resilience rooted in her faith. She finds solace in God's promises and uplifting Christian songs. Remarkably, she and her family have even found the strength to extend forgiveness to those responsible for her husband's abduction.
