Malaysian police, MACC are cover-up specialists?

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1, 2025: With a history of “cover-ups” for killers and abductors, the police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission are looking like cover-up specialists for killers and abductors/kidnappers.

 TWO police commandos were convicted for the execution of Mongolian French translator Altantuya Shaariibuu on Oct 18, 2006 (19 years ago). Till today, the police and the Malaysian governments (elected every five years) do not want to find out who gave the orders to kill Altantuya and blow her body up with military-grade C4 explosives in an attempt to hide the evidence, including suspicions that Altantuya was pregnant;

MALAYSIAN police and Interpol do not look like they have priority or urgency to look for and arrest financial thief Jho Low; a “right hand” for disgraced and shameless former prime minister and jailbird Najib “1MDB” Razak who stole illions, if not billions, of Ringgit from the rakyat dan negara (people and country); and

 TEOH Beng Hock, a Selangor DAP state executive councillor’s aide, was found dead in the MACC office in Shah Alam while in MACC’s custody on July 16, 2009 (16 years ago). Amazingly, no one in MACC knows what happened to him!; and

 THREE months ago (April 9, 2025), businesswoman Pamela Ling was abducted by men and a woman in police uniform and the police and MACC still do not know what happened to her despite having video clips of the abduction along the MEX Highway.

The above are only four high profile cases that had tarnished the image of the police and MACC for their lackadaisical probe to bring justice to the victims.

3 months after Pamela Ling vanished, Bloomberg report casts disturbing questions on Azam-led MACC

Chief among them is that despite calling her a 'flight risk', MACC did not pursue her when she failed to turn up on April 9.

MACC chief Azam Baki has come under renewed scrutiny over his handling of the disappearance of Pamela Ling.

A news report by Bloomberg on the abduction of a witness extradited from abroad by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) raises questions about the fact that the anti-graft commission did not seek an arrest warrant even after she failed to turn up for questioning on the fateful day.

The report also touched on the question of why Pamela Ling's appointment with MACC scheduled on April 10 was brought forward to April 9, when her e-hailing vehicle was surrounded by a group of individuals in police gear just 10 minutes before her arrival at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.

Family members say it "doesn’t make any sense" that MACC did not seek a warrant for Ling's arrest after she went missing, especially when she had been arrested before and slapped with a travel ban.

"You have hunted her, you have watched her every step, you have refused to let her leave this country on the pretext of investigation – the day she disappears you go silent," her family's lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo told Bloomberg.

"The change in the behaviour of the MACC, going from hunting her to not caring whether she is around, also needs to be explained."

According to Bloomberg, MACC claimed Ling had been asked to come a day early in order for it to investigate her application for a second passport.

The report comes at a time when MACC under its chief commissioner Azam Baki has come under fire for launching a series of politically-charged investigations into enemies of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, which was the subject of an explosive report by Bloomberg last year.

Ling, 42, is the former wife of Sarawak tycoon Hah Tiing Siu. Both have been through a controversial divorce in Singapore and Malaysia involving a substantial fortune.

MACC said it had launched an investigation into graft and money laundering offences involving the couple, adding that Ling had not co-operated. However, in a lawsuit filed two days before her abduction, Ling claimed that MACC was using anti-money laundering law to pressure her to resolve her disputes with her ex-husband.

Among others, she stated that Hah was present during one session she was interrogated by MACC. She also named one Muslimin Chia Abdullah from MACC who "urged them to settle matters so the case could be dropped", said the Bloomberg report.
