KUALA LUMPUR: Police are still investigating the disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping with intent to wrongfully confine, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the investigation paper is being processed and several documents are being finalised by the investigating officer before being submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for further instructions.
"The Home Ministry would like to clarify that the police remain committed to investigating any reported cases of abduction or disappearance following standard operating procedures and existing legal provisions," he told Ram Karpal Singh (PH-Bukit Gelugor), who asked the ministry to reveal the status of the investigation.
Ram Karpal also wanted to know whether or not the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is being investigated in connection with the case, considering that Ling was reportedly abducted on her way to the commission's office on April 9.
Saifuddin said the police would cooperate with other enforcement agencies, including the MACC, in conducting investigations when required.
On the day of her disappearance, Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to assist an investigation under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
However, she reportedly went missing on the way to the appointment.
Her lawyer lodged a police report the same day.
CCTV footage showed her being abducted by several men.
So far, no ransom demand has been received.
