Hundreds hold candlelight vigil for missing pastor

Some 300 people gathered near the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam yesterday night for a vigil in solidarity with family members of Pastor Raymond Koh, who was abducted in Petaling Jaya on Feb 13.

Their initial plan to gather outside the station was cancelled after objections from the police, who deployed some 50 personnel, including Light Strike Force officers, to stand guard along the main road since about 8pm.

The crowd demanded answers from the authorities as 21 days have passed since the abduction, and there was no information about Koh’s whereabouts.
