Prominent human rights lawyer Siti Kasim has raised serious concerns over the mysterious disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh, urging Malaysians to demand accountability from the authorities and remain vigilant when summoned by enforcement bodies.
Ling vanished nearly a month ago while reportedly en route to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya to assist in a money laundering probe. According to a police report filed by her Grab driver, she was taken by a man and a woman dressed in Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) vests, yet no clear explanation has emerged from law enforcement agencies to date.
Siti highlighted the worrying implications of such incidents, especially in today’s digital age where surveillance tools like CCTV are commonplace. She questioned how someone could vanish so completely in a city like Putrajaya without triggering an effective response from the authorities.
In a strongly worded statement on her YouTube channel, Siti criticised the government and police for what she sees as a lack of urgency and transparency. She referenced unresolved cases like those of Pastor Raymond Koh and activist Amri Che Mat, suggesting a troubling pattern where individuals linked to investigations go missing without resolution.
The lawyer also questioned the police's prolonged silence despite multiple reports being filed. Ling’s disappearance was reported on April 9 by her Grab driver and lawyer. Further reports were made by her estranged husband, Datuk Seri Thomas Hah Tiing Siu, on April 11, and by a family member on April 16. Yet weeks later, no substantial updates have been shared with the public.
Siti drew parallels to her own experience with a car bomb incident (July 2023), in which she said the investigation yielded no progress or closure. She emphasised that Ling’s case is not a minor incident but a major concern involving the abduction of a person in public view.
Authorities have reportedly questioned 12 individuals, including family members, MACC officials, and Ling’s legal counsel. Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain has confirmed that investigations are ongoing, including the possibility that those who took Ling may have impersonated police officers.
Siti urged Malaysians not to remain silent, warning that what happened to Ling could happen to anyone. She called on the public and politicians alike to demand answers and ensure this case does not fade into obscurity.
