Cops quiz Ling's three children, family friend

Summary

• Police have questioned Pamela Ling’s children and family friend in Singapore regarding her disappearance.

• Ling was on her way to assist an MACC investigation on April 9 when she disappeared.

• Police believe Ling is likely still in the country, but have not ruled out the possibility she left illegally.

Police have questioned Pamela Ling’s three children and her family friend as part of ongoing investigations into her disappearance on April 9 while she was on the way to facilitate an MACC probe.

It was reported that Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa said the questioning session was conducted in Woodlands station, Singapore.

“I have seen the statements, and there were things that would help investigators, including her last known whereabouts on the day of the incident.

“She was still in contact with family members on that day,” Rusdi was quoted as saying by The Star during a town hall at the Desa Rejang low-cost housing.

He added that police had recorded statements from 42 people thus far.

Rusdi said records indicated she was still highly likely to be in the country, but did not rule out the possibility of her leaving through illegal routes.

Husband to be recalled ‘if necessary’

Ling’s husband, Sarawakian businessperson Thomas Hah Tiing Siu, under probe for the possibility of involvement in her abduction, was arrested on May 15, but was later released after the police failed to obtain a remand order.

Rusdi, however, reportedly said he can be summoned again for questioning if necessary.

“It is possible. He can be called back anytime if there are developments,” he said.

Ling was initially summoned to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya to assist with an investigation under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act.

On May 2, Ling’s family revealed that the 42-year-old was on her way to meet MACC investigators on April 9 but was abducted before she could reach her destination.

Her Grab driver on that day claimed that individuals wearing police uniforms stopped his vehicle, forced Ling to exit and told him to mark the ride as “completed”.
