00:00The family members of Pamela Ling, who has been missing for a month, deserve to
00:06receive proper updates instead of relying on scattered media reports to
00:10learn about the investigation, says their lawyer. Sangye Kordio also took issue
00:16with police suggestions that Ling might have staged her own abduction, calling
00:20these a smokescreen to deflect from early investigative lapses. She said Ling was
00:25the mother of three, including a child with a serious medical condition requiring
00:30regular treatment, making her voluntary disappearance highly unlikely. She said it
00:35would not make sense for Pamela to disappear just two days after filing a
00:39judicial review application against MACC, in which she detailed her allegations of
00:45abuse of power. She urged government ministers to break their silence on the
00:49case, warning that continued inaction would set a troubling precedent. Yesterday,
00:55Kuala Lumpur Police Chief Rusty Issa told reporters that they were looking into
00:59the possibility of fake police and a self-staged disappearance when asked for
01:04updates on Ling's case. Ling went missing on April 9th after her e-hailing ride to
01:09MACC was intercepted by abductors in police uniforms who forced her into another vehicle.
