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.

Vehicles in Pamela Ling’s ‘abduction’ used fake number plates

4 hours ago

FMT Reporters

Bukit Aman criminal investigation department director Shuhaily Zain says the road transport department confirmed that the number plates were fake.

Police are using CCTV footage from Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor to track and identify the vehicles involved in Pamela Ling’s alleged abduction.

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.

“Our focus now is to determine the actual vehicle models. We have issued instructions to track them using available resources, including CCTV footage around Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and the Selangor border.

“Through this, we will be able to locate the vehicles matching the description of the ones used in Ling’s abduction,” he was quoted as saying.

Shuhaily added that police had recorded statements from 16 people, including Ling’s husband, her e-hailing driver and her lawyer.

The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for abduction with intent to wrongfully confine a person.

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. The e-hailing driver claimed that three individuals had emerged from the vehicles wearing police outfits.

Police have not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.

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.

‘Cops’ forced me to mark Pamela’s ride as completed, says driver

FMT Reporters

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

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.

 

Everything You Should Know About Missing Datin Seri Pamela Ling, S'wak Businessman's Wife

The MACC is said to be investigating her and her husband over a money laundering case.

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.

Who is Pamela Ling?

Here's what's known about her:

- The 42-year-old is a mother of three. She is the wife of prominent Sarawak businessman Datuk Seri Thomas Hah Tiing Siu, the founder of the Miri-based JoinLand Group.

- JoinLand Group is a diversified conglomerate with interests in frozen food, venture capital, real estate in Malaysia, Singapore, and China, warehousing, cold storage, forestry, and agriculture management.

- Its agri-business includes swiftlet farming, pineapple and coconut cultivation in Sarawak, and a major agro-forestry project in Papua New Guinea, with reported interests in Brunei, Australia, and New Zealand.

- She had been living alone in Cheras since 8 January, 2025, after being blacklisted from travelling for the MACC investigation, which separated her from her family in Sarawak and Singapore, where her children are reportedly located. She relied on e-hailing services and had informed her children about the trip to MACC.

- Her brother described her as a "good sister" with no known enemies. Her father was "at a loss", saying she kept in regular contact, showed no distress, and neither she nor the family received any threats.

She was scheduled to provide a statement for an ongoing MACC investigation, having given statements in the past

MACC has confirmed the probe involves the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA), reported FMT.

Her specific role remains undisclosed.

The family stated they were unaware of the investigation's details. After her disappearance, MACC lost contact with her and handed the search over to the police, urging the public not to speculate.

The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is still searching for leads in the case

The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping. So far, the police have interviewed 12 individuals, including family members, MACC officers, and her lawyer.

So far, PDRM has reported no developments in the case.

"There are still no indications or developments regarding her whereabouts," Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa was quoted as saying yesterday, 4 May.

No ransom demand has been received.
