The name Azam Azahari that was recorded in Norhaya�’s note
turned out to be a Special Branch officer who had served in Bukit
Aman, Kuala Lumpur and later in Perlis and who is now on
transfer to Terengganu. Notwithstanding Sgt Shamzaini’s denial
of all knowledge or involvement in Amri Che Mat's
disappearance, Norhaya� would have had no means of knowing
that such a person even existed unless Azam Azahari’s name was
given to her by Sgt Shamzaini.
The making of the police report by Norhaya� adds to the credibility of
her evidence. The informa�on that she reported to the police consisted
of very serious allega�ons of an enforced disappearance carried out by
the Police in par�cular the Special Branch, Bukit Aman. It was not made
lightly and as a teacher and educated person, she would be fully aware
of the consequences of making a false report.
The Panel is of the view that based on Norhaya�’s evidence, the disappearance
of Pastor Raymond Koh was carried out by the Special Branch in Bukit Aman,
Kuala Lumpur.
(iv) The Gold Toyota Vios
151.
Based on the evidence adduced in the Public Inquiries into the disappearances of
Pastor Raymond Koh and Amri Che Mat, the Panel makes the following findings:
151.1.
The JPJ Registra�on par�culars of the Toyota Vios bearing registra�on
number PFC 1623 was current as at 10 April 2018. According to the
par�culars, the registra�on was ac�ve and the car was insured un�l 19
February 2019. This means that from the JPJ records, Saiful Bahari was
and is the owner of the Toyota Vios at all material �mes and that he has
kept his ownership status including road tax and insurance current.
151.2.
In spite of this, Inspector Khor claimed that the Police have not been
able to locate Saiful Bahari to tes�fy at the Public Inquiry.
151.3.
During the hearing at the Public Inquiry into disappearance of Amri Che
Mat, evidence of Inspector Khor rela�ng to the owner of the gold Toyota
Vios was not free-flowing. The lack of clarity in the evidence concerning
Saiful Bahari is troubling and there appears to be a concerted effort to
obscure or suppress all reference to him and his suspected involvement
in this case.
