Pamela Ling - Who abducted her? Was it the police (Two of them were males, dressed in clothing with Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) markings. The third was a woman in PDRM uniform.) or NOT?
Was this action of the law enforcement themselves, or actions on ORDERS, Request of some other? Was it somebody else who wanted her 'disappeared', hopefully not killed.
We have Altantuya's case, where some believe that she was killed because of the evidence she had that could implicate powerful persons - sadly that aspect still lacks sufficient evidence. Why would 2 police officers go to the extend of making her 'disappear' using C4?
We sadly recall that our current Prime Minister also committed a similar crime, trying to get the police to do things to 'extinguish' evidence against him
(English translation of the charges) from High Court Judgment [1999] 2 CLJ 215
First ChargeThat you, from 12 August 1997 until 18 August 1997 at the Official Residence of the Deputy Prime Minister, No. 47, Damansara Road, in the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, while being a Member of the administration, to wit, holding the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and in such capacity committed corrupt practice in that you, directed Dato' Mohd Said bin Awang, Director of the Special Branch and Amir bin Junus, Deputy Director II of the Special Branch, Royal Malaysian Police, to obtain a written statement from Azizan bin Abu Bakar addressed to YAB Prime Minister denying his allegation of sodomy as contained in his "Pengakuan Bersumpah" dated 5 August 1997, which they obtained as directed, in the form of a written statement dated 18 August 1997, for your advantage, to wit, to save yourself from embarrassment, and you have thereby committed an offence punishable under section 2(1), Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance No. 22/1970. - see more at Allegation of Abuse of Power with regards law enforcement surfaces again against PM Anwar Ibrahim and others - how this be dealt with matters to the Rakyat?
So, will politicians or other persons also resort to abduction and even killing to prevent people with evidence of their CRIMES revealing it?
CRIMINALIZE Enforced Disappearance, with a HIGH Penalty - as these are Crimes committed by Public Officers or the State. What is the status of the enforced disappearance cases that SUHAKAM concluded after public inquiries?
Suhakam commissioner Mohd Hishamudin Yunus[a former Judge], who chaired the inquiry, said their disappearance was carried out by “a person or more than a person unknown with acquiescence of the authorities”.“Their involuntary disappearance breached the laws of Malaysia,” …“However, (although) we did not find evidence that they were abducted by agents of the state, yet the authorities failed to investigate the case ‘diligently and seriously’ (and) had hampered the progress (of the investigation),”
Another great worry is that 'people are pretending to be police' - so do we stop when the police tells us to stop? The Grab Driver carrying Pamela Ling did just that...and Pamela was abducted? This raise questions about police shooting people who did not STOP when asked to 'stop' - there seems to be 'FAKE' Cops and FAKE police vehicles too .... and this need to be immediately investigated... and dealt with?
Pamela Ling has just recently filed a legal action against MACC - so sadly, MACC is also a 'suspect'. How did the 'abductors' know that Pamela was on the way to MACC to give a statement when she was abducted? Malaysia really needs to place CCTV cameras on our roads, not for catching people who commit traffic crimes, but to PREVENT and help with investigations like the abduction/disappearance of Pamela Ling...
If Malaysian authorities fails to investigate the case ‘diligently and seriously’ or had hampered the progress of the investigation, then the abduction of 3rd parties may be with the authorization, support or acquiescence of the State, and thus would be ENFORCED Disappearance (this was also a past finding by SUHAKAM)
CAGED: Pamela Ling believed to be victim of enforced disappearance
Group highlights disturbing parallels with past abductions as questions mount over daylight Grab car incident outside MACC headquarters
Updated 6 hours ago · Published on 11 May 2025 9:26AM
CITIZENS Against Enforced Disappearances (CAGED) has said there is strong reason to believe that businesswoman Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh is the latest victim of an enforced disappearance in Malaysia, citing disturbing similarities with previous high-profile abductions.
In a statement released today, the human rights group outlined key details surrounding Ling’s disappearance and criticised both the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for failing to dispel growing public concern.
According to the group, on April 9, 2025, Ling, a 42-year-old Sarawakian residing in Singapore, was forcibly removed from a Grab vehicle in broad daylight just minutes before it was due to arrive at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
The abduction was allegedly carried out by a squad operating up to five vehicles.
“There were at least eight perpetrators. After stopping the car, three of them removed Ling from the car and took her away,” CAGED stated.
"Two of the perpetrators were men wearing clothing marked with Royal Malaysian Police insignia, while the third was a woman in police uniform.”
The Grab driver’s identity card was also reportedly seized by the assailants, prompting him to lodge a police report.
There has been no ransom demand.
Ling, who was extradited from Singapore to Malaysia in January for questioning in connection with a corruption probe, had previously been remanded for three days before being released on 11 January.
She is married to Sarawakian businessman Dato’ Sri Thomas Hah Tiing Siu, who has also been questioned by the MACC, along with Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor, in relation to a bribery allegation.
The couple are said to be undergoing a contentious divorce.
CAGED noted that on a prior visit to the MACC, an officer reportedly “encouraged” Ling to expedite her divorce from Hah.
The group acknowledged that police have been more forthcoming in Ling’s case than in previous disappearances, providing details about the number of witnesses interviewed and surveillance footage reviewed.
However, they said this was not enough to ease public scepticism.
“The public remains wary,” CAGED said, referencing the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam)’s damning findings in the cases of Raymond Koh, Amri Che Mat, Joshua Hilmy and Ruth Sitepu — all of whom Suhakam concluded were victims of enforced disappearance, with alleged police involvement.
CAGED drew chilling parallels between those cases and Ling’s, noting that Koh was also abducted in broad daylight, in a metropolitan area, by a team using multiple vehicles and operating with apparent professionalism.
“PDRM never found Raymond’s car,” the group said.
“PDRM never found the car used by Joshua Hilmy and Ruth Sitepu. PDRM never found the car owned by Special Branch operative Saiful Bahari, implicated in the abductions of Koh and Amri. PDRM claimed to have found no fingerprints in Amri’s car. PDRM never found Saiful – although the Attorney General’s Chambers is defending him in civil suits springing from the abductions.”
CAGED also criticised the government's failure to act on Suhakam’s findings, and for continuing to suppress the report of the Special Task Force assembled in response.
“These are just a few of the reasons which led Suhakam to conclude that Raymond, Amri, Joshua, and Ruth, were victims of enforced disappearance,” CAGED added, implying that Ling’s case may tragically follow the same pattern. - May 11, 2025, Vibes
Pamela Ling case: Five vehicles had fake plates, say police
KUALA LUMPUR: At least five cars were involved in the initial confrontation involving Datin Seri Pamela Ling before her disappearance.
City police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the suspect vehicles included a Toyota Camry, Nissan Almera and Nissan Teana.
"Based on our investigations so far, these three vehicles were involved in surrounding the e-hailing car that Pamela was travelling in.
"Further checks revealed that two other vehicles were also involved, a Perodua MyVi and another Nissan Teana. These two vehicles were used to block traffic during the incident," he told reporters today.
He said their probe revealed that these vehicles were using cloned license plates, which were linked to vehicles that were already registered.
"The owners of these vehicles have all been identified, and we have taken statements from them.
"They told us that their vehicles were with them in Kelantan, Selangor and Pahang during the incident," he told reporters today.
Rusdi explained that appropriate action was taken to gather CCTV footage at the location to retrace the movements of the vehicles involved.
"We know for a fact that these vehicles left the area immediately after the incident and travelled in two different directions," he said
It was reported that Pamela's lawyer had urged police to step up efforts to locate her.
Datuk N. Sivananthan said he was deeply concerned for the safety of his client, who disappeared on April 9.
He said his client, who had been assisting MACC in a money laundering investigation, has three children — two of whom are minors.
There are also reports that Ling and her Sarawak-based businessman husband, who are in the midst of a contentious divorce involving a sizeable estate, are being investigated by the MACC.- NST, 8/5/2025
Fearing fate of missing Datin Seri, Sabah bribery whistleblower files police report
The man behind video clips implicating top Sabah politicians says the report is to assist police in the event 'anything happens to him'.
Fearing he could suffer the same fate as the missing woman who was allegedly abducted on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) two months ago, the whistleblower who released shocking video clips implicating top Sabah politicians including the chief minister in a bribery scandal, lodged a police report today.
The man, who wore a mask to conceal his identity and was previously identified by his lawyers as "Albert", filed the report with the Petaling Jaya police seeking protection.
Lawyer Latheefa Koya said that while Albert had filed a similar
report last year over threats he received in the wake of his expose,
this time his fear was more real following the disappearance of Pamela
Ling, a witness in an ongoing corruption case being investigated by
MACC.
"It became so real when someone like Pamela Ling is abducted based on the reports we read, so it's a real thing that can happen. There is a possibility that these things can happen," she said.
Ling went missing on April 9 as she was travelling in an e-hailing vehicle to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
A missing person report was lodged with the police the same day.
It was reported that the Grab driver of Ling's ride had lodged a police report stating that she had been abducted by people who identified themselves as police, and that he had been forced to mark the ride as "complete".
The 42-year-old is the former wife of Sarawak businessman Hah Tiing Siu. Both have been through a controversial divorce in Singapore and Malaysia involving a substantial estate.
MACC said it had launched a probe into graft and money laundering offences involving the couple, adding that Ling had not cooperated. However, Ling accused MACC of using anti-money laundering law to pressure her to resolve her disputes with her ex-husband.
Latheefa, who is also the former MACC chief, said that with the submission of today's report, the police will be able to act more effectively in the event that Albert went missing.
"If anything happens to him, police would know how to process with investigation. If he disappears, they must assume that something bad has happened to him and take immediate action.
"He needs every type of protection. Right now, when someone is abducted where to look for or who is involved," she said.
Last year, Albert received a death threat in the form of images of the assassination of Shinzo Abe, the former Japanese prime minister who was shot dead in broad daylight while campaigning for elections in 2022.
In late 2024, news portal Malaysiakini published a series of video recordings it obtained from Albert, a businessman who is involved in a project in Sabah. The clips showed state assemblymen discussing bribes ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of ringgit.
Despite his letter to Anwar Ibrahim seeking protection as a whistleblower before lodging a report with MACC, the prime minister turned down the request, saying such a protection was only applicable for individuals who were "clean".
This was followed by MACC chief Azam Baki stating that the videos were "edited" and therefore not credible enough to be admitted as evidence.
On March 11, however, Latheefa announced that she had received the full and unedited version of the clips, telling MACC that its excuse was no longer valid.
The clips were later handed over to MACC by Zaid Malek from rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL).
Speaking to reporters today, Latheefa said there had been no updates from MACC more than two months after the evidence was handed over.
"They have given everything, the audio recordings, over 300 pages of documents and transaction details. There's nothing more to give. MACC should actually start calling up people identified in the videos," she said.
Meanwhile, another LFL lawyer, Mahajoth Singh said Albert had been questioned several times by MACC, and had provided additional evidence to investigators last month. - Malaysia Now, 8/5/2025
