Four Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers directly involved in the investigation of Pamela Ling’s case have been questioned by police, according to Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat today, Saifuddin revealed that a vehicle believed to be linked to Ling’s alleged kidnapping was traced to Bukit Kayu Hitam, a town in Kedah near the Malaysia-Thailand border.
Pamela Ling, aged 42, was reported missing on April 9, 2025, while en route to MACC headquarters to provide a statement related to an ongoing probe. The MACC had initiated an investigation into Ling and her husband, Thomas Hah, in May 2024, for alleged corruption and money laundering offenses. MACC chief Azam Baki previously clarified that Ling was a witness in the money laundering investigation.
Saifuddin stated, “To date, statements have been recorded from 48 witnesses, including four MACC officers directly involved in Ling’s case. The investigation papers are being finalized for submission to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.”
The case is being investigated under Section 365 of the Penal Code, which addresses abduction or wrongful confinement. Police earlier reported that five vehicles were involved in the incident, three of which bore cloned number plates. Approximately eight suspects are believed to be linked to the alleged kidnapping, with CCTV footage showing two individuals wearing police vests.
In June, Ling’s lawyer, Sangeet Kaur Deo, noted that one of the vehicles captured in CCTV footage during the alleged abduction was spotted near the Thai border. Sangeet also disclosed that police informed Ling’s family they had uncovered “no significant leads” in the investigation into her disappearance.
