Kuala Lumpur: The husband of Pamela Ling Yueh is among individuals being probed by police regarding her disappearance on April 9, said Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain. He stated that authorities have also identified several other individuals apart from the woman’s husband and that investigations are ongoing.
According to BERNAMA News Agency, Razarudin mentioned, “For now, there is a possibility that it being in that direction (that the husband is on the suspect list), and there may be others as well. The investigation (is not yet complete), and we believe there are others whom we also consider as suspects.” He conveyed this information to reporters after the 2024 Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) Excellent Service Award (APC) ceremony at the Bukit Aman Senior Officers’ Mess.
Razarudin further revealed that statements have been taken from 16 individuals, including the victim’s husband, and checks confirmed that he is still in the country. A statement from the victim’s children, who are in Singapore, will also be taken soon.
He also noted that CCTV footage from the scene was reviewed, and a statement was taken from an e-hailing driver who claimed that individuals impersonating police officers abducted the victim. “Investigations are ongoing to determine whether it was someone impersonating or an actual police officer who committed the wrongdoing. We will not compromise on such matters,” he asserted.
Razarudin emphasized that in past cases involving robbery or abduction by police personnel, they have been charged in court, which is documented in police history. He added that a special task force has been established by the Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department to investigate the case, with the first meeting chaired by him tonight.
The Kuala Lumpur Police Contingent Headquarters is handling the case under Section 363 of the Penal Code for abduction. Ling, 42, was reported missing en route to the Putrajaya Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission office in an e-hailing vehicle on April 9.
