Broad Daylight Kidnapping of Tycoon's Wife Shows Malaysia's Dark Side
Pamela Ling had a lot on her mind as she headed down thehighway connecting Kuala Lumpur with Malaysia's administrative capital some 30 minutes away. The 42-year-old was en route to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, known as the MACC, where investigators wanted to question her for at least the 10th time in a money-laundering probe. Two days earlier, on April 7, she had filed a lawsuit against the agency, accusing it of colluding with her estranged husband – a tycoon involved in everything from healthcare in Singapore to timber in Papua New Guinea – to pressure her into settling a messy divorce.

Pamela's case still active, statements taken from 48 witnesses, say cops
Published on: Wednesday, July 02, 2025 Published on: Wed, Jul 02, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: Pamela Ling was reported missing on April 9 while on her way to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya. PETALING JAYA: Investigations into the disappearance of Pamela Ling remain ongoing, with police recording statements from 48 individuals so far. Kuala Lumpur deputy police chief Usuf Jan Mohamad said identifying the suspects believed to be behind her abduction had been challenging, as the vehicle used was fitted with a fake registration plate and had a mismatched chassis number. 'We've already taken a statement from the actual owner of the car, and he is not the suspect,' he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro after an event at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters. He added that the facial composite of the suspects was only about 40% accurate. Police are currently gathering evidence from the crime scene and pursuing various leads, including through reviews of closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage. Ling, 42, was reported missing on April 9 while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya in an e-hailing vehicle. A police report was lodged at 3.02pm the same day. Last month, lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said one of the vehicles seen in CCTV footage of Ling's alleged abduction was spotted near the Thai border. However, she said there had been no updates provided by the police regarding forensic testing of the items found in the car. Police previously revealed that five vehicles were involved in the incident, three of which had used cloned number plates. About eight suspects are believed to have been involved in the alleged kidnapping, two of whom were seen in CCTV footage wearing police vests. On May 15, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said that Ling's husband, Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu, had been arrested to assist in an investigation, but did not disclose the nature of the probe. MACC chief Azam Baki previously said that Ling was a witness in a money laundering investigation. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Car linked to Pamela's disappearance found near Thai border, says lawyer
Lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo said her client's family was last informed that Interpol had yet to be alerted. PETALING JAYA : One of the vehicles seen in CCTV footage of Pamela Ling's alleged abduction was recently spotted near the Thai border, according to her lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo. In a statement, Sangeet said that several weeks ago, the family was informed that one of the cars seen in the footage was found abandoned near the Thai border. 'Weeks later, no updates have been provided regarding forensic testing of the items found in the car. '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 are the police waiting for?' she said. Sangeet also said that Ling's family was informed by the police that they had been 'able to find nothing' when asked about the investigation into Ling's disappearance. 'After purportedly taking statements from 47 people, the police have no leads,' she said, questioning the competence of the force in probing her client's case. On Saturday, lawyer N Sivanathan, also representing Ling, urged the authorities to release the CCTV recording, saying the investigation 'seems to have reached a dead end'. He also called for the images of her alleged assailants to be released. Ling, 42, was reported missing on April 9 while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's headquarters in Putrajaya. On May 8, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said they had CCTV footage of her alleged abduction. Rusdi also revealed that five vehicles were involved in the incident, three of which had used cloned number plates. About eight suspects are believed to have been involved in the alleged kidnapping, with CCTV footage showing that two of them were wearing police vests. On May 15, Rusdi said that Ling's husband, Sarawakian businessman Hah Tiing Siu, had been arrested to assist in an investigation, but did not disclose the nature of the probe. MACC chief Azam Baki previously said that Ling was a witness in a money laundering investigation.
