ICC note:

Despite a ban by the Malaysian government, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Muslims met to pray for the rescue of Raymond Koh, a Christian pastor who has not been heard of since his abduction weeks ago. It is believed he has been captured by extremist Muslims. Pastor Koh and his family had previously received death threats purportedly for the ministry their church was doing. His family fears he is dead, since they have publicly offered a ransom and have received no response.

3/27/2017 Malaysia (The Gospel Herald) – One month after Pastor Raymond Koh was abducted by suspected Islamic extremists, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Muslims united to pray for his safe recovery.

Persecution watchdog Open Doors USA reports that vigils for Pastor Koh were held in four different locations around Malaysia – even though police attempted to halt the services by setting up roadblocks. Hundreds of people attended each event, holding a candle and praying for 10 minutes according to their respective faiths for the missing pastor.
