Pamela Ling abduction: More info given, yet no updates from cops for weeks, says family's lawyer
PETALING JAYA: The family of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh remains uninformed about her disappearance, says lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo. "The family has provided more information than was requested over the past six weeks, yet there has been no feedback on the investigations. "Despite reportedly taking statements from 47 people, the police have no leads," she added. She further mentioned that the police informed the family about a car used in the alleged abduction being found abandoned near the Thailand border, but there have been no updates on that lead. "Weeks later, there have been no updates regarding forensic testing on the items found in the car," she said. "Given the obvious possibility that she was taken across the border, the family was last informed a few weeks ago that Interpol had not yet been alerted. What is the police waiting for?" she questioned. On April 9, Pamela was summoned to the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya to assist with an investigation under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act. However, she reportedly went missing while on her way to the appointment. Her lawyer filed a police report regarding her disappearance on the same day. So far, no ransom demand has been made in connection with her disappearance.
