 The e-hailing driver says the abductors claimed Pamela Ling was being arrested to assist in a police investigation.
Pamela Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation when she was abducted.PETALING JAYA: The e-hailing driver who had been taking Pamela Ling to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) headquarters on April 9 says he was forced to mark the ride as completed after Ling was taken by her abductors
The driver, known only as Kok, said he picked up the 42-year-old woman from Velocity Tower in Cheras, adding that they did not speak during the whole drive to Putrajaya.
While she made a phone call at some point, he said he could not hear her conversation clearly, Harian Metro reported.
As they neared the MACC headquarters, three vehicles suddenly appeared and surrounded his car from the front, back, and side.
“Two men and one woman came out from two of the cars, while no one came out from the third vehicle. The men wore police vests while the woman was in a police uniform.
“The woman approached my car and informed me that they wanted to arrest (Ling) to assist in an investigation after receiving a police report,” he said.
Kok said Ling refused to alight from the car, prompting the woman to try and drag her out. The two men then explained that this was an arrest.
“They claimed they would send (Ling) to the nearest police station to assist in their investigation. Only then did she get down and pay me RM100 for the ride.
“Then the abductors forced me to mark the ride as completed,” he said, adding that the purported policemen took his MyKad, driver’s licence and phone number before leaving.
Kok said he could not work for two weeks after the incident as he needed to get a new driver’s licence.
Yesterday, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said the cops had not ruled out the possibility that Ling’s abduction was partly orchestrated to discredit MACC and the police.
Razarudin said police could not disclose further details on the investigation at this stage to avoid compromising upcoming plans and actions.
He added that the Bukit Aman criminal investigation department was assisting the Kuala Lumpur police contingent in the investigation.
Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters to give a statement related to an ongoing investigation. Police said she had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters several times before her disappearance.
Twelve people have been questioned by the police so far. No ransom demands have been made. - FMT
