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.

‘What are they waiting for?' Missing Pamela Ling's family questions police silence, lack of Interpol alert

KUALA LUMPUR, June 16 — The family of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh today pressed for updates and answers on the police's investigation into her disappearance two months ago while she was on the way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The family also asked when Malaysian police would alert the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol) about her case. Speaking on behalf of Ling's family, their lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo noted that the police have no leads after recording the statements of 47 persons in its investigation on her April 9 disappearance. Sangeet said Ling's family had over the past six weeks provided information beyond what was requested, but that there was no feedback on investigations into the information given. Sangeet listed six questions to the police regarding the case, including whether the police had thoroughly questioned MACC officers. 'Have the PDRM determined the nature of information that Pamela was providing to MACC and who were interested parties? Have statements been taken from them?' she asked in a statement today. Sangeet said Ling's family was informed a few weeks ago that one of the cars seen on close circuit television (CCTV) footage was found abandoned near the Thai border, and that no updates have been given on forensic testing of 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,' she said, asking what the police are waiting for regarding alerting Interpol. She also asked if the police had complied with its own standard operating procedures (SOPs) in missing persons cases, and if it had asked for expert assistance if it required such aid. Ling had been scheduled to appear at the MACC headquarters on April 9 for investigations in a money laundering case, but went missing after her ride via the e-hailing app Grab was intercepted by unidentified persons in several vehicles. Ling's lawyer filed a police report on the same day after she failed to appear at the MACC headquarters, and the police are investigating her case as a missing persons case.
