Although the Officers Appearing for the Police agreed with Counsel on behalf of
the family, Assis�ng Officers of SUHAKAM and Counsel of the Bar Council that
Pastor Raymond Koh is missing and that his whereabouts are to date unknown,
it is their posi�on that:
31.1.
There is no evidence to show that the Police, as agents of the State, were
involved in the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh or that his
disappearance was carried out by non-state persons ac�ng with the
authorisa�on, support and/or acquiescence of the State.
31.2.
The disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh is connected with the case
of Lam Chang Nam who has been charged in Court on 15 January 2018
under Sec�on 365 of the Penal Code.
31.3.
The disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh is somehow connected with
the search and seizure of the exhibits found in the house of Mohd Fauzi
bin Tajuddin (“Fauzi”) in Pengkalan Hulu, Perak, who was shot dead by
the Police in a shootout in Baling, Kedah on 17 June 2017. Fauzi was
suspected to be a drug and firearms trafficker. The Police contended
that the exhibits seized from the house included pictures of Pastor
Raymond Koh, his car and his house at Prima Sixteen, Petaling Jaya. The

group involved in the abduc�on of Pastor Raymond Koh.
