Kuala Lumpur: Pastor Raymond Koh and his family were shocked to receive a death threat in the form of two bullets and a note written in red 12 years ago, his wife testified in the High Court today.
Susanna Liew claimed the threat arrived a few weeks after the Selangor Islamic religious department raided a fundraising dinner held at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church on Aug 3, 2011.“On Aug 26, 2011, we received a small package left at our home. It contained a note written in red and a cigarette box with two bullets. It was a death threat against my husband,” she testified before judicial commissioner Su Tiang Joo.
Liew testified that the fundraising dinner was turned into a religious matter “with allegations of ‘Christianisation’”.She said this was evident through excerpts from speeches by certain individuals at Masjid Negeri Shah Alam on Aug 12, 2011, questioning the fundraising dinner, and from another gathering called “Himpunan Sejuta Umat” at the Shah Alam stadium on Oct 22, 2011.
“He was a very loving, affectionate, and kind husband and father. As a pastor and social worker, he never hesitated to lend a helping hand to anyone regardless of ethnicity, race or religion, and to make a difference in their lives,” she said. The list includes former IGPs Khalid Abu Bakar and Fuzi Harun, and Awaludin Jadid, the former principal assistant director of the special branch’s social extremism division.
