Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether he will make representations to his Malaysian counterparts on the kidnapping of Pastor Raymond Koh in that country.
The UK remains concerned by the disappearance and apparent abduction of Pastor Koh. We have raised the case with the Malaysian government on several occasions. Most recently, a senior FCO official raised the case at ministerial level during her visit to Kuala Lumpur in November 2017.
The British Government is firmly committed to standing up for freedom of religion, and for individuals to practice their beliefs free from fear. These views are well known in Malaysia, and our longstanding relationship allows us to raise concerns at the highest level with the Malaysian government.
