THE special task force investigating the disappearance of pastor Raymond Koh and Perlis Hope founder Amri Che Mat has requested more time to complete its work, said Home Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.

He said the ministry has agreed to the extension, requested by task force chairman Abd Rahim Uda.

“I was informed that they need slightly more time. I think a month or so, (as) they have requested,” he told a press conference after attending the ministry’s monthly assembly in Putrajaya today.

“The chairman requested that the ministry grant more time, to which we agreed.

“I hope within this month or so, they will finish their draft report and submit it to the ministry.”

Koh, 62, was abducted by masked men in Jalan SS4B/10, Petaling Jaya, on February 13, 2017.

Amri disappeared on November 24, 2016 after leaving his home in Kangar.

A Malaysian Human Rights Commission inquiry last year concluded that they were victims of enforced disappearance, and pinned the blame on police’s Special Branch.

Following this, the government set up the task force to look into the cases of the missing duo. – January 16, 2020.
