Police probe disappearance of woman en route to MACC
KUALA LUMPUR: Police are investigating the reported disappearance of a woman who was en route to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) office in Putrajaya on April 9.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed that a report on the disappearance was lodged at the Precinct 7 Police Station in Putrajaya at 3.02 pm the same day.
He said the woman, identified as Pamela Ling, was scheduled to provide a statement to the MACC regarding an ongoing investigation. MACC officials confirmed her absence.
'This was not Ling's first appearance at the MACC to give a statement related to a case. Several witnesses, including MACC officers and the victim's lawyer, have had their statements recorded to assist the investigation,' he said when contacted today.
Rusdi added that the victim's lawyer also lodged a separate police report in Seri Kembangan regarding the client's disappearance. The investigation is being conducted under Section 365 of the Penal Code for abduction.
Meanwhile, the victim's family issued a media statement appealing to the public for any information related to the case.
The victim's brother, Simon Ling Wan Siong, said his sister had sent a WhatsApp message to her lawyer at 1.57 pm on April 9, indicating she was on her way to the Putrajaya MACC office and would arrive at 2.08 pm using an e-hailing service.
'Despite the family's and her lawyer's attempts to contact her after 2 pm, phone calls went unanswered and WhatsApp messages went undelivered.
'Grab Malaysia has also confirmed that the ride was marked as completed, but no further information has been obtained since then,' he said.
Wan Siong said his sister's whereabouts have been unknown for over 20 days and urged police to intensify their efforts and do whatever necessary to locate his sibling.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Wan Siong at 012-8866799 or the victim's father, Ling Kie Yii, at 012-8867979.

Report on alleged sukuk fund misappropriation linked to Klang Valley highway project ready in two months, says MACC chief
BANGI, June 12 — The investigation report on the alleged misappropriation of sukuk funds meant for the construction of a highway in the Klang Valley is expected to be completed within the next one to two months, according to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said the probe is progressing well and statements have been recorded from 53 witnesses so far. He added that more witnesses are expected to be called soon to assist in completing the investigation. 'This case will take about one or two months to complete as there are many aspects to examine and documents to analyse, including financial statements,' he said. He was speaking at a press conference after the 2nd Convocation Ceremony of the MACC's Certified Law Enforcement Programme here today. Azam said the recording of a statement from a person with the title 'Tan Sri' resumed today after a six-hour session was conducted at the individual's residence yesterday. Earlier, media reports stated that the MACC had seized various assets, including handbags, jewellery, luxury vehicles, watches, cash and high-end properties, collectively estimated at RM32 million, believed to belong to a highway concessionaire bearing the 'Tan Sri' title. In a separate case, Azam clarified that the statement from renowned fashion designer Datuk Jovian Mandagie was recorded yesterday in Jakarta, not Bali, as previously reported. It was earlier reported that the MACC investigation team would be in Jakarta for two days to record the statement of the 39-year-old designer, who is Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's former son-in-law, in connection with an investigation into asset ownership involving the former prime minister. Ismail Sabri had been called in multiple times to the MACC headquarters to assist in investigations related to corruption and money laundering involving expenditures and funding for the promotion and publicity of the 'Keluarga Malaysia' programme during his tenure as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022. — Bernama
