PETALING JAYA: Any decision to expand the investigation into the disappearance of Datin Seri Pamela Ling, including whether to probe the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), will depend on new findings or further instructions from the DPP, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
The Home Minister said that investigation papers related to this case were submitted to the DPP by the investigating officer on April 24, 2026 for further review.
"On the issue of whether the MACC is also being investigated, the Home Ministry wishes to emphasise that police’s primary focus at this stage is to establish the facts and criminal elements based on credible evidence and statements.
"Since the investigation papers are still under review by the DPP, any further action or expansion of the scope against any entity will only be decided based on new findings or further instructions and comments from the DPP in due course," said Saifuddin in a parliamentary written reply to a question raised by Ram Karpal Singh (Pakatan-Bukit Gelugor).
Ram Karpal had asked the Home Ministry to state the status of the investigation into the case of Pamela Ling and whether the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is also being investigated in relation to the case, given that Pamela Ling is said to have possibly been abducted while on her way to the MACC office on April 9, 2025.
Regarding the status of the investigation into the case, Ling who was reported missing while on her way to the MACC office on April 9, 2025, Saifuddin said the police has conducted a comprehensive investigation from multiple angles.
"This includes examining all leads and gathering statements from relevant parties to reconstruct the chronology of events.
"To date, the police have not received any further instructions, and the case is still classified as under active investigation," he said.
Ling, a mother and businesswoman, had been involved in civil disputes over share ownership and divorce proceedings when the MACC summoned her in January 2025.
She was arrested, remanded and released on bail with reporting conditions, including a travel ban, which she fully complied with.
Ling was reported missing on April 9, 2025, shortly before her planned meeting at the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
She was reportedly taken from an e-hailing vehicle. Police later said five vehicles using false registration plates were involved in the suspected abduction.
Prior to her disappearance, she had filed a judicial review against the MACC, alleging abuse of power, unlawful detention and violations of her constitutional rights.
Last June, it was reported that police recorded statements from 49 people, including Ling's husband and children.
