4 days Ago By New Straits Times
KUALA LUMPUR: The lawyer of a Datin Seri who was reportedly abducted while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters 27 days ago has urged police to step up efforts to locate her.Datuk N. Sivananthan said he was deeply concerned for the safety of Datin Seri Pamela Ling.
"We lodged a report the day she went missing," he told the New Straits Times.He said his client, who had been assisting MACC in a money laundering investigation, has three children — two of whom are minors."The children are distraught.
They have no idea what happened to their mother," he said.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.Sivananthan said investigators told them that closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage showed Ling getting into an e-hailing vehicle at her residence in Sunway Velocity.
"Police said someone was watching Ling when she entered the car. That suggests someone knew that she was on her way to the MACC headquarters. Who is this person and has he been found?" he asked.
Sivananthan said he had been informed that the number plates of the three vehicles that surrounded Ling's ride were fake."This means that there must also be a footage of the incident. We appeal to the police to release this footage so that members of the public can help find Ling," he added.
