Almost a year after Raymond Koh went missing (in February 2017), with no investigation progress, a human rights inquiry was told by the police that a man had been charged with Koh’s kidnap.

The country’s Human Rights Commission then had to halt its scrutiny because the law says it cannot hold an inquiry when court proceedings against a suspect are activated.

Koh’s wife said that the family was ‘crushed’ by the abrupt end to the inquiry, as they want answers to the many questions they have over Koh’s disappearance.
