 The anti-graft agency says it has handed over records of its attempts to locate Pamela Ling, who failed to show up as scheduled, to the police.
The MACC said it could not contact Pamela Ling after she failed to show up on April 9 for an appointment at its headquarters in Putrajaya.PETALING JAYA: The woman who went missing while on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s headquarters last month was assisting in an investigation under the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA)
MACC said Pamela Ling had been asked to present herself at its headquarters in Putrajaya on April 9 to aid in the probe that involved both the AMLATFPUAA and the MACC Act 2009.
“However, she failed to show up on the date as scheduled and MACC officers have been unable to contact her on her mobile phone or other communication modes since.
“In light of this, the MACC has handed over records of our efforts to locate her to the police, based on the police report that was filed,” it said in a statement today.
The commission also urged the public not to speculate or spread unverified information that could hinder the investigation.
Ling’s role in the investigation has not been disclosed, but AMLATFPUAA probes typically involve financial transactions suspected to be linked to criminal or terrorist activities.
Earlier today, Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said they have yet to uncover any leads in their investigation into Ling’s disappearance.
He said 12 individuals have been questioned so far, and that Ling had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters multiple times before her disappearance.
Two police reports have been filed in relation to her sudden disappearance.
Ling’s brother, Simon, claimed that she had been abducted. He said an e-hailing car Ling was travelling in was intercepted by three unidentified vehicles, and that she was instructed to get into one of them. - FMT
