146. In the Public Inquiry into the disappearance of Amri Che Mat, Norhaya� tes�fied that Sgt Shamzaini on 12 May 2018 had informed her that the Special Branch, Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur under the command of Dato’ Awaludin Jadid had abducted Amri Che Mat. She further tes�fied that Sgt Shamzaini told her that it was the same team that had caused the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh. 147. Notwithstanding the fact that Sgt Shamzaini later lodged a police report denying that he told Norhaya� about the abduc�on of Amri Che Mat and Pastor Raymond Koh, the Panel is of the considered view that the evidence provided by Norhaya� is more credible compared to that of Sgt Shamzaini. 148. The Panel is of the view that Sgt Shamzaini’s evidence contradicted the tes�mony of several witnesses: 148.1. Sgt Shamzaini’s statement that he inquired into ren�ng the premises contradicted Pharid’s evidence. Pharid had a long lease on the premises where he was running his business, and the lease was only due to expire in 2025. Pharid's evidence was that Sgt Shamzaini inquired generally on whether he knew of any premises for rent. Pharid did not evince any inten�on nor indicate to Sgt Shamzaini that he was going to close down his business! Pharid himself said that there was no discussion with Sgt Shamzaini on the taking over of the lease of his premises. 148.2. Sgt Shamzaini also contended that he met Norhaya� twice on 12 May 2018 that is, once in the morning and once in the evening. He said that a�er he spoke to Pharid, he no�ced a woman coming out of the house adjacent to Pharid’s shop. He went up to her and asked whether the shop was open and when she told him it was closed, he asked her if it was for rent. He claimed that the woman then asked him a series of ques�ons about himself. He told her that his name was Sham, and that he had been living in Perlis for the last 5 to 6 years. He told her that he was a�ached to the Special Branch Division at the Police Headquarters in Kangar. He then claimed that she told him that she was busy and that he should come over at night to talk to her. This version of events contradicts Sgt Shamzaini’s own police report where he had stated that he had only met her once in the evening. According to the evidence of Norhaya�, Sgt Shamzaini only met her once on 12.5.2018 and that was in the evening only. 49 PASTOR RAYMOND KOH Panel is of the view that the evidence provided by Norhaya� in the Public Inquiry into the disappearance of Amri Che Mat can be considered in this Public Inquiry.
