KUALA LUMPUR, May 15 — Kuala Lumpur police today confirmed the arrest of Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh’s husband to assist in investigations over her disappearance.

Kuala Lumpur police chief Commissioner Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa confirmed the arrest was made earlier today.

He did not disclose the nature of the arrest when asked further, citing ongoing investigations.

Rusdi said police also applied for a remand order, but was rejected by the court.

Last week, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain reportedly said the police are investigating the possibility of Ling’s husband’s involvement in her missing persons case.

Since May 2024, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been investigating Ling and Hah for alleged corruption and money laundering offences.

On April 9, Ling was on her way to the MACC headquarters to assist in investigations in the money laundering case, but disappeared after her e-hailing ride was intercepted by unidentified persons in several vehicles.

Her lawyer filed a police report on the same day after she failed to appear at the MACC headquarters.

To date, no ransom demand has been made in relation to Ling’s disappearance.
