KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has granted leave for Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh to challenge her previous arrest and travel ban by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and the Immigration Department.
Justice Amarjeet Singh allowed Ling's application for leave to initiate judicial review after hearing submissions from parties in his chambers here on Monday (May 19).
The judge found that there were triable issues in the application.

On April 9, the Sarawak-born was reported missing while on her way to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya after getting in an e-hailing vehicle.
A police report on her disappearance was lodged at 3.02pm on the same day.
The MACC had earlier obtained an arrest warrant for Ling on Dec 2, last year, from a Putrajaya Magistrate’s Court after she failed to comply with the order to attend an interview for the purpose of completing a money laundering investigation.
