Pamela’s spouse may be included as suspect, says IGP
PETALING JAYA: The police have not ruled out the possibility of including Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh’s husband as a suspect in their ongoing probe into her alleged abduction, says Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain.
“For now, the possibility is along those lines, and perhaps others are involved as well.

“If I am not mistaken, we have recorded the statements of over 16 people. This includes the husband, whose statement we recorded earlier.
“We will also record statements from their children who are based in Singapore. We have not identified a motive,” he said when speaking to reporters in Bukit Aman yesterday.
When asked if the husband was still in the country, the IGP said that he was.
Meanwhile, Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain, when asked for updates regarding the case after a press conference at the Kedah police contingent headquarters, stated that their checks with the Road Transport Department (JPJ) had confirmed that the vehicles implicated in the alleged abduction were using fake number plates.

“Our focus is to locate the vehicles that were involved. For now, our checks with JPJ showed that the vehicles involved had fake number plates.
“Instructions have also been given to check all CCTV cameras in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur and at the borders of Selangor to check if any cars match the ones used in her disappearance,” he added.
Pamela’s lawyer, N. Sivananthan, reportedly said he had seen a police report filed by the e-hailing driver who ferried Pamela, who claimed his car was intercepted just before reaching the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
The driver also claimed three cars were involved and that a man wearing a police vest and a woman in a police uniform allegedly asked Pamela to follow them.
Pamela’s brother, Simon Ling Wan Siong, previously said she was abducted in Kuala Lumpur while on her way to meet MACC officers in Putrajaya.
As of Sunday, no ransom demand had been made in connection with her disappearance.
