Pamela Ling's Disappearance: Cops Record Statements Of 47 Individuals, Still No New Leads
KUALA LUMPUR, May 26 (Bernama) --- Police have recorded the statements of 47 individuals to assist in the investigation into the disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh on April 9, but no new leads have emerged so far.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said that four of the individuals, namely her three children and a close friend, had their statements taken in Singapore and the rest here.
"All statements to assist in the investigation have been taken but there have been no new leads so far,' he told the media after the 2025 Inspector-General of Police Media Appreciation event at Bukit Aman here today.
Rusdi said investigations also found that there had been no cash transfers from Pamela's bank account to other individuals and there was no indication of political elements involved in the case.
"So far, we have not seen any evidence pointing in that direction (involvement of politicians),' he said.
Regarding claims of her husband's involvement, Rusdi said investigations are ongoing against everyone, including the individuals close to the victim
He added that the remand order against Pamela's husband was denied because there was no need for it since he had given his cooperation.
"Initially, we wanted to remand her husband under Section 117 of the Criminal Procedure Code but it was denied. So, we fully utilised the 24 hours that he was detained to carry out our investigations,' he said.
Rusdi added that investigations found that the last time Pamela contacted her son in Singapore was a day before her disappearance.

Indonesia's FM calls for stronger Asean mechanisms after Vision 2045 adoption
JAKARTA/MANILA (Bernama): Indonesia's Foreign Minister Sugiono has called for strengthening Asean's institutional mechanisms, including its diplomatic corps and central bodies, to effectively implement the Asean Community Vision 2045 adopted at last month's summit in Kuala Lumpur. At a meeting with the Committee of Permanent Representatives to Asean (CPR) and Timor-Leste's Ambassador to Asean at the Foreign Ministry here, he praised the progress achieved through Asean's cooperation frameworks, especially after the adoption of the Asean Community Vision (ACV) 2045. He said the long-term vision, adopted at the 46th Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur last month, outlines a strategic roadmap for the next two decades, envisaging a resilient, innovative, dynamic and people-centred Asean. "We need to strengthen Asean mechanisms, including the CPR, and bolster the Asean Secretariat and Asean Headquarters in Jakarta to optimise our potential in addressing challenges within the region and globally,' he said. Sugiono also underscored the CPR's role in fostering community building, facilitating cross-pillar coordination, and engaging with Asean's external partners, as it is essential to achieving the goals of ACV. He further welcomed Timor-Leste's upcoming accession as Asean's eleventh member state later this year. - Bernama

Klang boat tragedy: Victims may not have been wearing life jackets, say cops
KLANG: All victims involved in the capsized boat incident in the waters off Tanjung Harapan here Friday (June 6) were believed not to be wearing life jackets, says Asst Comm S. Vijaya Rao. The North Klang OCPD said initial investigations also revealed that the boat, which was being test-driven, was operated by its owner at the time. He said the absence of life jackets had made the search and rescue (SAR) operation for the remaining two missing victims among the six people on board more difficult. "Those who engage in activities at sea must wear life jackets, which are very useful during emergencies like this capsized boat incident, in addition to having swimming skills," he said at a press conference at the search site in Tanjung Harapan Saturday (June 7). ACP Vijaya said the location where the boat capsized had been identified, but strong currents may have swept the two missing victims away and caused them to drown. Meanwhile, he said police had recorded statements from three individuals, including one survivor. "The actual cause of the incident has yet to be determined, and the case is being investigated under Section 280 of the Penal Code," he said. In the incident at about 5pm, three individuals including a child died, one survived (Alvin Chang Yan Qin, 17), while a married couple remains missing. The deceased victims were Darren Gan, 3; Cheu Son Hin, 50; and Fong Yong Sen, 29, while those still missing have been identified as Gan Hon Tat, 32, and his wife Careen Man, 29, both from Klang Utama. - Bernama
