LAWYERS representing the family of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh are questioning the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over its decision to summon her on 9 April — a day earlier than her initially scheduled appointment — which coincided with the day she was reported missing.
“Why was she called in a day earlier than planned? Had MACC informed the police of its investigation?” asked lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo in a statement issued on Tuesday.
“If MACC believed she possessed sensitive information or material capable of implicating others, had the agency alerted the police as to who these ‘interested parties’ might be?” she added.
Pamela, a Sarawak-born businesswoman, was reportedly en route to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya in an e-hailing vehicle when she went missing on 9 April. A police report was filed later that day at 3.02pm.
Her disappearance came two days after she filed for leave to initiate a judicial review against a travel ban and arrest warrant issued by MACC and the Immigration Department.
On 19 May, the High Court granted Pamela leave to proceed with her judicial review challenge. Justice Amarjeet Singh found that the case raised triable issues. Federal Counsel Mohd Faisal Md Noor did not object to the application.
Her lawyer, Surendra Ananth, confirmed that case management has been scheduled for 3 June.
Pamela had filed the legal action on 7 April, two days before her disappearance sparked widespread attention.
The MACC had previously obtained a warrant for Pamela's arrest from the Magistrates’ Court in Putrajaya on 2 December last year after she failed to comply with an order to appear and provide a statement in a money laundering investigation. - May 21, 2025
