KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and its chief commissioner must address concerns regarding their conduct leading to Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh's disappearance, says Sangeet Kaur Deo.
Sangeet – the lawyer representing Pamela’s family – said that it has been 36 days since her disappearance on April 9 while en route to the MACC.
"For months, Pamela faced relentless scrutiny by the MACC. She was questioned repeatedly and prevented from returning to her children in Singapore,” she said.
Sangeet added that Pamela’s presence in Malaysia was but by the MACC's order
"With her movements restricted and unable to leave, she was under MACC authority
Thus, the commission must explain the events and circumstances leading to her disappearance," she said in a statement on Thursday (May 15).
On April 9, Pamela was summoned to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya for an investigation under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing, and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.
She reportedly went missing on her way to the appointment. Her lawyer filed a police report about her disappearance the same day.
No ransom demand has been made in connection with her disappearance.
The police have recorded statements from 27 individuals and are recording the statements of Pamela's three children in Singapore with Interpol's assistance.
