LETTER | On Jan 8, 2021, Miri police arrested a 16-year-old girl for alleged involvement in illegal online gambling activities. She was taken to the police station. She was processed and put in the station’s lockup. That night, in the lockup, a male detainee raped her.
On Feb 9, the government charged two police officers involved in the case. According to a report in the
Malay Mail, the two officers “allegedly allowed the cell of a detainee, Zuraini Razzi Ranni, to remain unlocked and to have access to the key of the cell of the victim.”
An international group serving persecuted Christians has drawn attention to the unsolved case of Malaysian Pastor Raymond Koh, who has been missing since he was abducted in a well-organized, military-style operation four years ago after being accused of preaching to Muslims.

COMMENT | Tomorrow, Feb 13, will be four years since pastor Raymond Koh, the founder of the NGO called Komuniti Harapan, was abducted in broad daylight, on a busy road in Petaling Jaya.
The kidnapping was shocking in itself, but equally maddening is that in the run-up to the fourth anniversary of his abduction, many Malaysians appear to be unaware that such an audacious abduction had taken place.
Some Malaysians told me that the abduction had nothing to do with them. This is where they are wrong. The abduction has everything to do with them.

Christian Federation of Malaysia chairman Archbishop Julian Leow Beng Kim today called on all churches in Malaysia to pray for pastor Raymond Koh for the next two weekends to mark the 4
th anniversary of the mysterious abduction of Pastor Raymond Koh.
Koh was abducted on Feb 13, 2017, in what has been deemed an enforced disappearance.
Leow in a statement today, also urged Christians to pray for other victims of “enforced disappearances”, namely social activist Amri Che Mat, and pastor Joshua Hilmy together with his wife Ruth Sitepu all of whom disappeared in 2016.
“For the next two weekends February 6 to 7 and February 13 to 14 we ask all churches to remember and pray for Pastor Raymond, Amri Che Mat, Joshua Hilmy, Ruth Sitepu and their families. May they know that we stand in solidarity with them on their continuous journey of uncertainty.
