Cops tell why remand application for Pamela's husband rejected
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said they have no new leads on the whereabouts of Pamela Ling. PETALING JAYA : Police have sought to explain why the Putrajaya magistrates' court rejected their application to remand Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu, the husband of missing Pamela Ling. Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the court found that it was unnecessary for Hah, also known as Thomas Hah, to be remanded, Sinar Harian reported. This was after Hah's lawyer had promised that his client would cooperate with the investigation and that he could be called in by the police anytime. Rusdi also said police have no new leads on Ling's whereabouts and that the investigation was ongoing to determine whether she was still in the country or otherwise. 'We do not see any signs of her exiting the country,' he said, adding that the police also did not see any political involvement in her disappearance. Rusdi said 47 people have given their statements to assist in the investigation, including Ling's three children and several of her close associates. He said the statements by the three children were recorded at the Singapore police's Woodlands headquarters, adding that the children have not been in contact with their mother since her disappearance. Ling, 42, was reported missing on April 9 while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's headquarters in Putrajaya to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation. MACC opened a probe into Ling and Hah in May last year for alleged corruption and money laundering offences. It later said Ling was never a suspect but only a witness.

Statements recorded from Pamela Ling's 3 children in S'pore, say cops
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said 42 people have been questioned so far in the probe into Pamela Ling's disappearance last month. PETALING JAYA : Police have recorded statements from Pamela Ling's three children yesterday to assist in the investigation into her disappearance last month. Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said statements were obtained from her three children, aged between 18 and 20, at the Woodlands police headquarters in Singapore. He added that police also recorded a statement from a family acquaintance in Singapore, bringing the total number of individuals questioned in the case to 42. 'The information obtained can help with the investigation, especially regarding her last known movements. She was still in contact with family members on April 8 and 9. 'The investigation is still ongoing,' he said in a Harian Metro report. Ling, 42, was reported missing on April 9 while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya to give a statement for an ongoing investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering offences. In May last year, MACC opened a probe into the cases that allegedly involved Ling and her husband, Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu. Rusdi said while there is no record of Ling leaving the country, the authorities are considering the possibility that she may have been smuggled out of the country. 'However, it is most likely that she is still in the country,' he added. Meanwhile, Rusdi said Hah was released on police bail on Friday after he was arrested on Thursday to assist in an investigation under Section 365 of the Penal Code, which pertains to abduction or wrongful confinement. 'We cannot consider him a suspect yet, but he can be called in at any time for further questioning if there are new developments,' he added.

Statements to be taken from Pamela Ling's children in S'pore
Putrajaya police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed said a photofit of one of the suspects had been made 'but it is only a 40% match'. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : Statements will be taken in Singapore from the children of missing businesswoman Pamela Ling to assist in investigations into her alleged abduction, say police. Putrajaya police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed said the statements would be recorded soon at the Malaysian high commission in Singapore. Aidi said 25 witnesses have given their statements so far. 'We have obtained a photofit of one of the suspects, but it is only a 40% match,' he said in a statement. Ling, whose husband is Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu or Thomas Hah, went missing on April 9 while on her way to give a statement at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's headquarters in Putrajaya. Her brother said she was intercepted by people in several vehicles while she was travelling in an e-hailing car, and was ordered to get into one of the vehicles. The e-hailing driver said on Tuesday that her abductors were wearing police outfits. Police said eight suspects in five vehicles are believed to be involved in the abduction according to CCTV footage. The lawyer of Ling's family had revealed that Ling filed a judicial review against MACC just two days before her disappearance. Sangeet Kaur Deo said Ling had challenged MACC's alleged use of the anti-corruption and anti-money laundering laws to 'exert pressure on Ling to resolve private disputes with her estranged husband, rather than for legitimate investigative purposes'.

MACC rejects claims officer interfered in Pamela Ling's divorce case
The MACC said an internal investigation confirmed that the officer in question was not involved in the probe into Pamela Ling. PETALING JAYA : The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has denied claims that a senior MACC officer pressured Pamela Ling to settle divorce matters with her husband during an investigation. The anti-graft agency opened a probe into Ling and her husband, Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu – also known as Thomas Hah – in May last year for alleged corruption and money laundering offences. In a statement today, it said an internal investigation confirmed that the officer in question was not involved in the probe into Ling, who was allegedly abducted while en route to the MACC's headquarters in Putrajaya last month. The MACC said the officer has lodged a police report and filed an official complaint with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission regarding a video recording, which he described as defamatory and malicious. 'He strongly denies all accusations and has left the matter to the relevant authorities for further investigation into the individual responsible for spreading the false claims,' it said. 'MACC urges the public not to spread unverified or slanderous information, as it can mislead the public and disrupt the ongoing police investigation, which is currently being treated as a missing person's case.' After failing to comply with an MACC order to attend an interview, Ling was arrested in Singapore in January and extradited to Malaysia. She was remanded from Jan 9 to 11 before being released on MACC bail. Ling's family lawyer, Sangeet Kaur Deo, said Ling had her statement recorded on nine separate occasions after being released from remand, an issue which a former MACC chief commissioner said raised concerns about the integrity and legality of the investigation. The e-hailing driver who drove Ling to the MACC's headquarters on April 9 said her alleged abductors, who intercepted his car, were wearing police outfits. Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said yesterday they might have worn the vests to impersonate policemen as there were no sanctioned police operations at the time of the incident. Rusdi said police will examine the divorce proceedings between Ling and her husband as part of their investigation. He also said police were exploring the possibility that Ling had staged her own abduction.
