THE police are still investigating the disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh under Section 365 of the Penal Code for kidnapping or abduction with the intent to secretly and wrongfully confine an individual, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said the investigation paper is still being prepared together with several documents and it will be submitted to the deputy public prosecutor for further instructions.
“The police remain committed to investigating any reported cases of abduction or disappearance in accordance with standard operating procedures and existing legal provisions,” he said in reply to a question from Ram Karpal Singh (PH-Bukit Gelugor), who asked the ministry to reveal the status of the investigation into the case.
Ram Karpal also wanted to know whether the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is being investigated as Ling was abducted on her way to the MACC office on April 9.
The Home Minister said that the police consistently cooperate with other enforcement agencies, including the MACC, when required.
On April 9 this year, Ling was summoned to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to assist an investigation under the MACC Act 2009 and Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
However, she never arrived.
Her lawyer lodged a police report on her disappearance the same day.
CCTV footage showed her being abducted by several men.
So far, no ransom demand has been received.
