BOMBSHELL: Former MACC chief questions integrity of Pamela Ling’s probe
KUALA LUMPUR, May 7, 2025: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) probe on the missing Pamela Ling is looking more and more suspicious by the day.
Why is it that the MACC is unable to come clean to state clearly whether Ling was a suspect or witness?
The circumstances also show that MACC investigators seem to be obsessed with “tormenting” Ling. Why?
What’s in it for them (MACC investigators).
And former MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad has raised concerns about the integrity and legality of the graft and money laundering investigation into Ling and her husband Hah Tiing Siu.
He said once someone was arrested and their statement taken, the law only allowed further questioning if they were reclassified as a witness, and that too only with the approval of the deputy public prosecutor.
“Under the MACC Act and established legal procedure, it is a fundamental principle of due process that the power of arrest should only be exercised when sufficient evidence has been gathered to support a formal charge,” he added.

Ex-MACC chief questions integrity of probe into Pamela Ling
Dzulkifli Ahmad says people, such as the missing businesswoman, who are arrested and remanded, should not have further statements recorded unless they are reclassified as witnesses.
Former MACC chief commissioner Dzulkifli Ahmad said all enforcement agencies, including the anti-graft agency, must follow due process to protect individuals’ rights and ensure justice
PETALING JAYA: A former chief commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has raised concerns about the integrity and legality of the graft and money laundering investigation into Pamela Ling – who is missing – and her husband Hah Tiing Siu.
Dzulkifli Ahmad said it was a cause for concern that Ling’s lawyer had revealed that her client was called in and had her statement recorded on nine separate occasions after being released from remand.
He said that once someone was arrested and their statement taken, the law only allowed further questioning if they were reclassified as a witness, and that too only with the approval of the deputy public prosecutor.
“Under the MACC Act and established legal procedure, it is a fundamental principle of due process that the power of arrest should only be exercised when sufficient evidence has been gathered to support a formal charge.
“Arrests made prematurely – at a stage where investigations are still in progress – may not only be unjustified but also risk contravening both the rule of law and the core tenets of justice,” he said in a statement today.
Dzulkifli said MACC should emulate its own approach in other high-profile cases, such as those involving former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and business figures like Vivy Yusof, where no arrests were made during investigations.
“These examples reflect a more measured and lawful approach that should be consistently applied,” he said, adding that all enforcement agencies, including MACC, must follow due process to protect individuals’ rights and ensure justice.
Earlier today, Sangeet Kaur Deo said Ling had claimed that she had been arrested and remanded without a proper legal basis and in breach of due process.
Sangeet said the travel ban, imposed since October, and the repeated questioning reflected treatment that was “far from ordinary and totally inconsistent” with that expected of a witness assisting in investigations.
She added that after relentlessly pursuing Ling, MACC had remained silent about her disappearance.
MACC released a detailed chronology of its investigation into Ling and Hah this afternoon, which revealed that Ling had previously refused to cooperate in a graft probe and was arrested in Singapore before being returned to Malaysia.
Ling reportedly went missing on April 9 while on her way to the MACC headquarters to give her statement.
Her brother, Simon Ling, claimed his sister was abducted. He said the e-hailing car in which Ling was travelling was intercepted by three unidentified vehicles and that she was instructed to get into one of them.
Yesterday, the e-hailing driver who took Ling to the MACC headquarters on April 9 said he was forced to mark the ride as completed after Ling was taken by her abductors, who were wearing police uniforms and vests.

So, was Pamela Ling a MACC suspect or witness?
KUALA LUMPUR, May 7, 2025: News reports emerged today that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has unveiled a chronology of probe into Pamela Ling’s husband.
Media reports have labeled Ling as a MACC witness and now it seems she is a suspect. It’s so confusing! Who would want to get rid of her in the probe and why?
And it sure looks like the MACC is trying to demonise Ling!
No News Is Bad News reproduces below news reports that tell us nothing about why she was abducted by men and woman clad in police outfits and added confusion on what the MACC was doing with Ling:
MACC unveils chronology of probe into Pamela Ling, husband
MACC says Pamela Ling previously did not cooperate with a graft probe and was arrested in Singapore before being brought back to Malaysia.
Pamela Ling was supposed to give her statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on April 9 but failed to show up.
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has unveiled the chronology and status of its investigation into Pamela Ling, who has been reported missing, and her husband, Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu, also known as Thomas Hah.
MACC said a probe was initiated into Ling and Hah in May last year for alleged graft and money laundering offences, with the husband called in to give his statement.
To complete its probe, the anti-graft agency tracked down and summoned Ling to give her statement at the MACC headquarters, but she did not cooperate.
“As a result, on Dec 2, 2024, an arrest warrant for Ling was obtained from the Putrajaya magistrates’ court for the offence of failing to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of completing the investigation.
“Subsequently, on Jan 8, a joint operation with Singapore’s Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau was launched. Ling was lawfully apprehended and brought back to Malaysia,” MACC said in a statement.
Ling was then remanded from Jan 9 to 11 before being released on MACC bail.
On April 9, the agency asked Ling to appear at its headquarters to give its statement following the discovery of new leads in its investigation.
MACC also applied for and obtained an order from the deputy public prosecutor for Ling to surrender her travel documents.
“However, Ling failed to attend on that day, and her lawyer subsequently lodged a police report regarding her disappearance on the same day.”
Necessary steps taken, claims of misconduct unfounded
MACC said it had acted within the ambit of the law at every juncture, including obtaining the necessary court orders and complying with the set procedures for the agency.
“Allegations of harassment or misconduct are unfounded,” it said.
It added that the judicial review filed by Ling against the agency did not negate or invalidate its ongoing probe into her and her husband.
Ling had challenged the anti-graft body’s alleged use of the MACC Act and anti-money laundering law to “exert pressure” on her to resolve “private disputes with her estranged husband, rather than for legitimate investigative purposes”.
Ling also claimed that she had been arrested and remanded without proper legal basis and in breach of due process.
MACC maintained that it had taken the necessary steps and fully cooperated with the police in its investigation into Ling’s disappearance.
“Accordingly, the MACC urges all parties to refrain from speculation that could hinder the investigation or create confusion among the public.
“At this stage, our shared priority should be to provide full cooperation to the authorities so that efforts to locate and safely return Ling can proceed smoothly, safely and as swiftly as possible.”

MACC clarifies status of Pamela Ling’s investigation and search efforts
The Commission wishes to emphasise that the MACC has taken all necessary steps in relation to the case of Pamela, which is currently being investigated as a missing person case by the police.

Accordingly, the MACC urges all parties to refrain from speculation - May 7, 2025
THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today said it takes note of the issues raised regarding the disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh.
“The Commission wishes to emphasise that the MACC has taken all necessary steps in relation to the case of Pamela, which is currently being investigated as a missing person by the police.
“Pamela and her husband, Datuk Seri Hah Tiing Siu, have been under investigation for corruption and money laundering offences initiated in May 2024 under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLA),” it said in a statement.
Detailing the chronology of events, MACC said an investigation paper was opened on May 28, 2024, and Hah was called in to provide a statement to the MACC.
To complete the investigation, the MACC also traced and summoned Pamela to the MACC headquarters to give a statement.
“However, she failed to cooperate. As a result, on Dec 2, 2024, an arrest warrant for Pamela was obtained from the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court for the offence of failing to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of completing the investigation,”.
Subsequently, on Jan 8, 2025, a joint operation with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) of Singapore was launched, and Pamela was lawfully apprehended and brought back to Malaysia.
On Jan 9, 2025, Pamela was brought before the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court for a remand application.
“The remand was granted for three days, from Jan 9, 2025 until Jan 11, 2025.
“Upon the expiry of the remand period, she was released on MACC bail,”.
On April 9, 2025, the MACC requested Pamela to attend the MACC headquarters to continue her statement recording following new information obtained by the MACC.
Based on this information, the MACC also sought and obtained approval and an order from the Deputy Public Prosecutor to retain Pamela’s travel documents by serving her with a Notice of Surrender of Travel Documents under Section 44(1) of the MACC Act 2009.
“However, Pamela failed to attend on that day, and her lawyer subsequently lodged a police report regarding her disappearance on the same day,” said MACC.
MACC said it must be emphasised that, at every stage, the MACC has acted within the legal framework, including obtaining all necessary court orders and adhering to the established procedures.
Allegations of harassment or misconduct are unfounded
MACC also said the judicial review filed by Pamela Ling prior to her disappearance does not negate or invalidate the ongoing investigation into the alleged offences.
“Legal challenges are the right of any individual but do not impede the enforcement process as provided by law.
“Since the report of Pamela’s disappearance, the MACC has provided full cooperation to the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), who are now leading the investigation,” it said.
Accordingly, the MACC urges all parties to refrain from speculation that could hinder the investigation or create confusion among the public.
“At this stage, our shared priority should be to provide full cooperation to the authorities so that efforts to locate and safely return Pamela can proceed smoothly, safely, and as swiftly as possible,” added MACC. – May 7, 2025
Pamela Ling disappearance: Allegations of harassment not true, says MACC
By JUSTIN ZACK
Wednesday, 07 May 2025
4:25 PM MYT
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has acted according to the law in the investigation involving Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh.
In a statement on Wednesday (May 7), the MACC said that allegations of harassment had no basis.
"It must be emphasised that, at every stage, the MACC has acted within the legal framework, including obtaining all necessary court orders and adhering to the established procedures. Allegations of harassment or misconduct are unfounded.
"Meanwhile, the judicial review filed by Pamela Ling prior to her disappearance does not negate or invalidate the ongoing investigation into the alleged offences. Legal challenges are the right of any individual but do not impede the enforcement process as provided by law," it said.
The MACC added that police were now leading investigations on her disappearance and that the MACC was fully cooperating with police.
"Accordingly, the MACC urges all parties to refrain from speculation that could hinder the investigation or create confusion among the public. At this stage, our shared priority should be to provide full cooperation to the authorities so that efforts to locate and safely return Pamela Ling can proceed smoothly, safely, and as swiftly as possible," it said.
Regarding the timeline of investigation into the corruption and money laundering cases involving Pamala, the MACC said that an investigation paper had been opened on May 28 last year.
"To complete the investigation, the MACC also traced and summoned Pamela Ling to attend the MACC headquarters to give a statement. However, she failed to cooperate.
"As a result, on Dec 2 2024, an arrest warrant for Pamela Ling was obtained from the Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court for the offence of failing to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of completing the investigation. Subsequently, on Jan 8 2025, a joint operation with the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) of Singapore was launched, and Pamela Ling was lawfully apprehended and brought back to Malaysia," it said.
Following her arrest she was then brought to the Putrajaya courts where she was remanded from Jan 9 to Jan 11 before being granted bail.
"On April 9, the MACC requested Pamela Ling to attend the MACC headquarters to continue her statement recording following new information obtained by the MACC. Based on this information, the MACC also sought and obtained approval and an order from the deputy public prosecutor to retain Pamela Ling's travel documents by serving her with a Notice of Surrender of Travel Documents under Section 44(1) of the MACC Act 2009.
"However, Pamela Ling failed to attend on that day, and her lawyer subsequently lodged a police report regarding her disappearance on the same day," it said.
Pamela’s lawyer, N. Sivananthan, reportedly said he had seen a police report filed by the e-hailing driver, who claimed his car was intercepted just before reaching the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
The driver also claimed three cars were involved, and that a man wearing a police vest and a woman in police uniform allegedly asked Pamela to follow them.
Pamela’s brother, Simon Ling Wan Siong, previously said she was abducted in Kuala Lumpur while on her way to meet MACC officers.
As of Sunday, no ransom demand had been made in connection with her disappearance.

Something’s ‘rotten’ in the MACC-Pamela Ling abduction?

Something’s ‘rotten’ in the MACC-Pamela Ling abduction?
KUALA LUMPUR, May 7, 2025: That something “fishy” is happening in the case of Pamela Ling and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is an understatement.
Ling, who was abducted by men and woman clad in police outfits, while on her way to the MACC headquarters last month had filed a judicial review against the anti-graft agency, just two days prior to her disappearance.
If anyone thinks there is no cause to any suspicion, go ask the family of former political aide Teoh Beng Hock who was found dead while in the custody in the MACC building.
Also, what has happened to the case of former backdoor prime minister Ismail “Turtle Egg” Sabri? Suddenly, all is quiet!
So much hard cash seized from Ismail Sabri’s former aides… so, what happened to Bank Negara Malaysia’s enforcement?
In her filing for a judicial review, Ling challenged the actions of the MACC for using its act and that of the anti-money laundering law to allegedly “exert pressure on Ling to resolve private disputes”.
Ling’s family lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said said Ling also claimed that she had been arrested and remanded without proper legal basis and in breach of due process.
“She was also subjected to a travel restriction without explanation,” Sangeet said.
Sounds like something rotten was happening? Will Ling ever be found, like many others who have gone missing without a trace?

PETALING JAYA: The woman who went missing while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters last month had filed a judicial review against the anti-graft agency, just two days prior to her disappearance.
In her application, Pamela Ling had challenged the actions of the MACC for using its act and that of the anti-money laundering law to allegedly “exert pressure on Ling to resolve private disputes”, the family’s layer Sangeet Kaur Deo said.
In a statement, Sangeet said that Ling also claimed that she had been arrested and remanded without proper legal basis and in breach of due process.
She was also subjected to a travel restriction without explanation, Sangeet said.
Sangeet also said that Ling was questioned “no fewer than nine occasions”.
“Available records show that the MACC had subjected Pamela to a sustained and systematic campaign of pressure over several months.”
Ling’s brother, Simon, claimed that she had been abducted. He said an e-hailing car Ling was travelling in was intercepted by three unidentified vehicles, and that she was instructed to get into one of them.
Yesterday, the e-hailing driver who had been taking Ling to the MACC headquarters on April 9 said he was forced to mark the ride as completed after Ling was taken by her abductors, who were wearing police uniforms and vests.
On Monday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the cops had not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.
Yesterday, Razarudin said police were focusing on the possibility that her husband and several other individuals might be involved in her disappearance.

Vanishing people allegedly linked to cops akin to Malaysia becoming a banana republic
KUALA LUMPUR, May 6, 2025: The abduction of Pamela Ling by men and a woman clad in police vests in broad daylight is worrying to say the least.
At least Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Razarudin Husain has ordered Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department (CID) to form a special team to probe the alleged abduction of Ling.
Ling’s alleged abduction appears to be serious enough for the IGP to form a special team to probe and locate Ling, who is in the midst of divorcing her Sarawakian businessman Thomas Hah.
This is not the first time “people are vanishing” in Malaysia and appears to be never found.
Will Ling ever be found, like others who have gone missing without a trace - all linked to the cops as abductors.

I wrote about the dangers of people vanishing just last week, and now we have another case. I do not want to speculate, but if we don't solve this case soon, I think we can say that we are close to being a banana republic. This sort of thing must NOT happen in a modern state. PMX must deal with this directly. It is that serious.
This has became ASIAN BERMUDA TRIANGLE ah. MH370/Pastors/Indian Woman n now Another. When will PM X DISSAPEAR when he has SPRM CASES??

PETALING JAYA: Police are working to track down the vehicles involved in the alleged abduction of Pamela Ling after discovering that the three vehicles carried fake number plates.
Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain said the road transport department (JPJ) had verified that the number plates were fake, Kosmo reported.

PETALING JAYA: Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain has ordered Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department to form a special team to probe the alleged abduction of Pamela Ling.
“I will be chairing a meeting tonight to get the latest updates on the case,” he said, according to Sinar Harian.
Razarudin said 16 people had given their statements to assist in investigations, including Ling’s husband.
He said her husband, Sarawakian businessman Thomas Hah, was still in the country but did not disclose if Ling was.
When asked by reporters if Hah was a possible suspect, Razarudin said the cops were not ruling out the possibility just yet, although several other individuals were also possible suspects.
“Investigations haven’t been completed yet and we believe that other people will become suspects, too,” he said, adding that the motive of Ling’s apparent abduction had yet to be determined.
Ling was on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters on April 9 to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation when she was allegedly abducted, with the e-hailing vehicle she was in cornered by three other cars.
Police said she had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters several times before her disappearance while the e-hailing driver claimed that three individuals had emerged from the vehicles wearing police outfits.
The cops have not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.
‘Cops’ forced me to mark Pamela’s ride as completed, says driver
The e-hailing driver says the abductors claimed Pamela Ling was being arrested to assist in a police investigation.
Pamela Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation when she was abducted.
PETALING JAYA: The e-hailing driver who had been taking Pamela Ling to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) headquarters on April 9 says he was forced to mark the ride as completed after Ling was taken by her abductors.
The driver, known only as Kok, said he picked up the 42-year-old woman from Velocity Tower in Cheras, adding that they did not speak during the whole drive to Putrajaya.
While she made a phone call at some point, he said he could not hear her conversation clearly, Harian Metro reported.
As they neared the MACC headquarters, three vehicles suddenly appeared and surrounded his car from the front, back, and side.
“Two men and one woman came out from two of the cars, while no one came out from the third vehicle. The men wore police vests while the woman was in a police uniform.
“The woman approached my car and informed me that they wanted to arrest (Ling) to assist in an investigation after receiving a police report,” he said.
Kok said Ling refused to alight from the car, prompting the woman to try and drag her out. The two men then explained that this was an arrest.
“They claimed they would send (Ling) to the nearest police station to assist in their investigation. Only then did she get down and pay me RM100 for the ride.
“Then the abductors forced me to mark the ride as completed,” he said, adding that the purported policemen took his MyKad, driver’s licence and phone number before leaving.
Kok said he could not work for two weeks after the incident as he needed to get a new driver’s licence.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the cops had not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.
Razarudin said police could not disclose further details on the investigation at this stage to avoid compromising upcoming plans and actions.
He added that the Bukit Aman criminal investigation department was assisting the Kuala Lumpur police contingent in the investigation.
Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation. Police said she had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters several times before her disappearance.
Twelve people have been questioned by the police so far. No ransom demands have been made.

PETALING JAYA: Police are not ruling out the possibility that the disappearance of Pamela Ling, who was supposedly abducted by people impersonating police officers or other law enforcement personnel, was orchestrated to discredit the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the police.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the police investigation will account for the testimony of the e-hailing driver who drove Ling to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya on April 9, as well as CCTV footage, Bernama reported.
“All information and witness statements, including from the e-hailing driver, are being collected.
“We are still investigating claims that the victim was abducted by individuals wearing police uniforms or vests,” he said.
Razarudin said police cannot disclose further details on the investigation at this stage to avoid compromising upcoming plans and actions.
“I have instructed the Bukit Aman criminal investigation department to assist the Kuala Lumpur police contingent in this investigation, including efforts to trace the whereabouts of the victim,” he said.
He declined to comment on whether Ling’s alleged abduction was planned by certain parties due to assets or wealth she possessed.
Ling, 42, was reported missing while on her way to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya in an e-hailing vehicle on April 9 to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation.
Police received a report of her disappearance at 3.02pm the same day.
Yesterday, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said statements had been recorded from 12 witnesses so far. He said no ransom demands had been received in connection with her disappearance.
The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for abduction with intent to wrongfully confine a person.
Missing woman Pamela Ling’s dad reveals she was living in Singapore before MACC extradition
By Samuel Aubrey on May 6, 2025, Tuesday at 3:48 PMSarawak
For the freshest news, join The Borneo Post's Telegram Channel and The Borneo Post on Newswav.
Ling said he believes the MACC did not assign anyone to protect his daughter.
KUCHING (May 6): The father of missing woman Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yue has revealed that she was living in Singapore when she was extradited to Malaysia in January by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to assist with an investigation.
In an exclusive interview with Oriental Daily, Ling Kie Yii said his daughter showed no unusual behaviour or signs of being threatened prior to her abduction.
He said his daughter had been residing in Singapore since 2008, where she ran a property management company, and was brought back to Malaysia to assist the MACC with an investigation.
“After being extradited to Malaysia, she was remanded by MACC for three days. She was released on bail on January 11, but her passport was withheld, so she couldn’t leave the country. She had since been staying at a hotel in Kuala Lumpur,” he said.
“I believe the MACC did not assign anyone to protect my daughter.”
He added that his daughter did not disclose the details of the investigation, but she only told him that she intended to divorce her husband Datuk Seri Thomas Hah Tiing Siu without elaborating further.
“She showed no unusual behaviour before the incident. During her time in Malaysia, she never said she was being threatened or followed. Even after her disappearance, we have not received any ransom demands,” he said.
Ling expressed dissatisfaction with the police for not proactively updating the family on the investigation’s progress.
He claimed his WhatsApp messages enquiring about the case were left on read.
“What else can I do? I’m her father—her immediate family—yet they won’t tell me anything about the investigation. This is a terrible way to handle things.
“How can they ignore such a serious matter involving someone’s life as if nothing happened?” he asked.
The victim’s younger brother added that the last time he contacted his sister was on April 7.
The family has since tried many times to call her, but there has been no response.

A woman named Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh disappeared on 9 April while en route to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya to give a statement
According to her brother Simon Ling Wan Siong, Pamela texted her lawyer at 1.57pm, saying she was on her way to the MACC headquarters in a Grab car and expected to arrive by 2.08pm.
She travelled from Jalan Cheras at 1.29pm that day, and her mobile phone's last known location was near the MEX highway, close to Pusat Bandar Putra Permai, at 1.52pm.
"Despite repeated efforts by her family and lawyer to contact her after 2pm, the calls went unanswered and WhatsApp messages remained undelivered. Her last known residence is at an apartment in Sunway Velocity, Cheras. Efforts to trace her whereabouts through Grab Malaysia confirmed that the ride was marked as completed, but no further information has been made available," Simon said.
According to her family, the Grab car Pamela was travelling in that day was intercepted by three unidentified vehicles, and she was told to get into one of them.
The Edge reported that the police have launched an investigation under Section 365 of the Penal Code, which relates to kidnapping or abduction with intent to wrongfully confine someone.
The MACC is said to be investigating her and her husband — who are in the middle of an acrimonious divorce both in Singapore and Malaysia — over a money laundering case.
