The unsettling disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh continues to raise serious questions, not just about her whereabouts, but also about the conduct of those involved in the investigation preceding her abduction.


Human rights lawyer Siti Kasim has recently drawn public attention to the peculiar circumstances surrounding Ling’s case. Before vanishing on April 9, the 42-year-old mother of three reportedly made multiple visits to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya. These visits were related to an ongoing money laundering investigation involving both Ling and her estranged husband. However, troubling details have surfaced regarding what occurred during these questioning sessions.


According to Siti, Ling was meticulous about keeping her legal representatives in Malaysia and Singapore informed after each session. During these debriefs, she reportedly shared that she felt uneasy about certain events during her MACC encounters. In particular, she was approached by a man claiming to be a MACC deputy director who oddly advised her to quickly resolve her divorce. The relevance of such a suggestion raised alarm, considering the probe focused on financial misconduct rather than her personal affairs.


In one session, Ling was reportedly made to sit alongside her estranged husband, with officers pressing them to settle their divorce immediately — a move that baffled observers and hinted at potential coercion. What’s more disturbing is a statement allegedly made by the same official, implying that the investigation would disappear once the divorce was finalized.


These revelations have led to speculation about whether certain MACC officers may have acted improperly or were influenced by external interests. Siti questioned whether such behavior might indicate deeper issues within the agency, especially now that the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has confirmed Ling’s husband is among the suspects in her disappearance.


Further complicating the case, a Grab driver who transported Ling to the MACC on April 9 claimed he was forced by two individuals in police vests — a man and a woman — to mark the ride as complete before they took Ling. He also alleged that his personal documents were confiscated.


As nearly a month passes without any breakthrough in Ling’s disappearance, Siti has urged Malaysians to demand answers. She emphasized the need for accountability, not to undermine law enforcement, but to ensure that rogue elements within institutions like the MACC and police are held responsible before such incidents become the norm.
