MACC has denied allegations that went viral in a TikTok video claiming that a senior agency officer pressured Pamela Ling to resolve her divorce issue with her husband while she was being investigated.
MACC, in a statement today, said internal investigations showed that the officer was not directly involved in the investigation against Ling and had never met her.
“The officer has lodged a police report and an official complaint with the MCMC regarding the content of the video, which is described as defamatory and malicious.
“He also denied all allegations and referred the matter to the authorities for further investigation against the disseminator of the defamatory content,” the statement said.
MACC calls on the public not to spread unverified and defamatory information, as it could mislead the public and disrupt the police’s missing persons probe.
On April 9, Ling, 42, was reported missing while on her way to the MACC office in an e-hailing car to give a statement regarding an ongoing investigation, and police received a report regarding her disappearance at 3.02pm the same day.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Mohd Isa was reported today as saying the police were still in the process of recording statements from other witnesses, including Ling’s son.
As of yesterday, 16 individuals, including the victim’s husband, have had their statements recorded, but police have yet to question her son, who is in Singapore.
