PASTOR Raymond Koh’s wife Susanna Liew has appealed to DAP national chairperson Gobind Singh Deo to publicly support her family after the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) moved to challenge a landmark High Court ruling on her husband’s abduction.
The AGC filed its appeal against the Nov 5 judgement that ordered the government to pay RM10,000 per day from Feb 13, 2017 — the day Koh was abducted — until he is found or his whereabouts are determined.
The court had also awarded RM4mil in damages to Koh, along with RM1mil in aggravated damages and RM1mil in exemplary damages, while directing police to reopen investigations and report to the attorney-general every two months.
In her Dec 1 letter, Liew told Gobind, “I turn to you because you are a voice that stands for transparency and human dignity, as your late father was, who we are so beholden to and appreciative of.”
She added, “I have read how you speak up not just for cases, but for principles, and I truly believe your voice matters at this moment.”
The judge also ruled in favour of activist Amri Che Mat, who was abducted in 2016, awarding his wife Norhayati Ariffin RM3mil in damages. The court found “a lack of effort to keep Amri’s family updated” and a wrongful classification of the case.
Liew criticised the AGC’s swift appeal, saying, “This Madani government has not come out in support of the judgements and has not even followed the findings and recommendations of their own Special Task Force Report.”
She urged Gobind to raise the matter in Parliament and meet her family, stating, “My family and I humbly ask that you join the voices of those seeking to uphold justice and truth.” — Dec 6, 2025
