Cars used in Ling’s alleged abduction had fake number plates.
Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh’s husband is among several individuals under investigation in connection with her disappearance, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed on Tuesday (6 May).
“For now, the possibilities are along those lines, and perhaps others are involved as well,” he said.
Statements from more than 16 individuals have been recorded, including Pamela’s husband. Police also plan to interview the couple’s children, who are based in Singapore. However, no clear motive has been established.
Razarudin added that Pamela’s husband remains in the country. The case is being investigated under Section 363 of the Penal Code for kidnapping.
Meanwhile, Bukit Aman CID director Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Shuhaily Mohd Zain revealed that the vehicles used in Pamela’s abduction bore fake number plates. “Our focus is to locate the vehicles. Checks with JPJ records confirmed that all three vehicles had false plates,” he said during a press conference in Kedah.
Police have instructed the identification and review of all relevant CCTV footage in Putrajaya, Kuala Lumpur, and Selangor border areas to trace the vehicles.
An e-hailing driver, who identified himself as Kok, alleged he was forced to end a ride and hand over his MyKad and driving licence before Pamela was abducted by individuals posing as police officers. He said the incident occurred around 2pm on 9 April while he was driving her to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya.
Kok claimed he picked Pamela up from Velocity Tower in Cheras. During the journey, she made a phone call but said little else. As they neared the MACC office, three vehicles surrounded his car—blocking it from the front, rear, and side.
“Two men and one woman exited two of the vehicles. The men wore police vests, and the woman was in police uniform,” he said.
“They claimed to be detaining her to assist in an investigation following a police report.”
Pamela initially resisted but was eventually taken after repeated insistence.
“One of them said it was an arrest and that they were taking her to the nearest police station,” Kok said.
Before being taken, Pamela paid him RM100 for the ride. He was then forced to press ‘complete job’ on his app.
Kok later lodged a police report. He also revealed that he was unable to work for two weeks while waiting for replacement identification documents.
