FMT:
Unlikely MACC, police behind Pamela Ling’s disappearance, says source
The source says it would be illogical for MACC to undermine its own money laundering investigation into the Sarawakian woman and her businessman husband

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is not behind the disappearance of Singapore-based businesswoman Pamela Ling, according to a source close to the investigation.
“Rumours that the MACC has something to hide have been making the rounds simply because there has been no breakthrough in police investigations into her disappearance, but that is something beyond MACC’s control,” the source told FMT on condition of anonymity.
Sarawak-born Ling, 42 — under investigation alongside her husband Thomas Hah for alleged corruption and money laundering — vanished on April 9, exactly six months ago, en route to a scheduled meeting with the agency. Her disappearance appears to have stalled its probe.
“It is implausible that MACC would have wanted to cause her disappearance,” the source said, pointing out that the anti-graft body has been painstakingly building its case since May, including by probing the setting up of multiple shell companies and tracing the movement of funds across jurisdictions.
“Ling was initially non-cooperative and had to be lawfully repatriated from Singapore in January 2025. Her testimony was expected to be pivotal in putting together the money trail.
“Without her, MACC’s case is severely weakened. There is no logic in MACC undermining its own investigation,” the source added.
The source also pointed to the fact that Ling was last seen near MACC’s Putrajaya headquarters — a location heavily monitored by CCTV.
“It would be irrational for MACC to orchestrate an abduction in such a closely-guarded and public setting,” the source said.
The source also explained that the police only became involved in the investigation after Ling was reported missing.
“On May 9, police arrested Hah to assist in the probe,” the source said, adding that rumours of police involvement were fuelled by reports claiming that Ling was abducted by individuals in police uniforms.
“If the police were truly involved, the officers would have more likely been in plain clothes. In cases like this, uniforms suggest impersonation, not official action,” the source said.
According to police, five vehicles were involved in the incident, with three bearing cloned number plates.
In August, home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said one of the vehicles had been found abandoned at Bukit Kayu Hitam, near the Kedah-Thai border.
About eight suspects are believed to have been involved in the alleged kidnapping. Two were seen on CCTV footage wearing police vests.
In May, then Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the force was not involved in any such operation at the time.
In June, Ling’s lawyer, Sangeet Kaur Deo, said her client’s family had been told that police investigations had yet to uncover any leads.

Sad to say, in all likelihood she is long dead.
MACC may well have hantu inside who would either benefit personally or were paid for information to have the investigation literally buried.
