00:15The wife of missing Pastor Raymond Koss says today's High Court ruling has brought some long-awaited closure and vindication for the family after nearly nine years of anguish and uncertainty over her husband's disappearance.
00:30Earlier, the court ordered the government and the police to pay a sum of more than 37 million ringgit to Koh's family over the state's involvement in his abduction.
00:39Suzanna Liu also commended Sergeant Shamzaini Daud of the police's special branch, whom she said had the courage to reveal the truth about the abduction.
00:49Today, Liu pointed out that both a Suhakam inquiry and a special task force had confirmed that police officers
00:56were involved in the abductions of Koh as well as missing activist Amri Chehmat.
01:01The same High Court also ordered the government and police to pay a sum of over 3 million ringgit to Amri's family
01:08for failure to conduct proper investigations into his disappearance.
01:13Amri's wife, Nurhayati Arifin, filed a lawsuit against the police and government
