E-hailing driver claims MACC witness Pamela Ling was forced out of car and says he was instructed by 'cops' to 'complete the job'.

KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — The e-hailing driver who was transporting Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters on April 9 claims he was forced to end the ride in the app moments before she was forcibly taken from his vehicle by individuals pretending to be police officers.

According to a Harian Metro report today, the driver, identified only as Kok, 55, said, “I was made to press ‘complete job’ before my MyKad and driver’s licence were taken by people claiming to be police. Then, the woman was dragged out of the car and taken into one of their vehicles.”

The incident occurred at 2pm on April 9, when Ling, 42, was reported missing en route to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya, allegedly abducted by individuals travelling in three vehicles.

Kok said he had picked Ling up from Velocity Tower in Cheras and was heading to Putrajaya when the abduction occurred. He added that there was little conversation during the journey, although Ling did make a phone call, the contents of which he couldn’t hear clearly.

As they neared the MACC building, three cars suddenly surrounded Kok’s vehicle from the front, back, and side, effectively blocking the route.

“Two men and a woman exited two of the cars — the third car stayed shut. The men wore police vests, and the woman appeared to be in police uniform. She approached my car and said the woman (Ling) needed to be detained to assist in an investigation based on a police report,” he recounted.

Initially, Ling resisted, but the uniformed woman attempted to pull her out of the vehicle.

“Then, the two men explained that it was an arrest and she was only being brought to the nearest police station for questioning. That’s when she agreed. She handed me RM100 for the fare, and they made me press the ‘complete job’ button,” said Kok.

He added that they also took his MyKad, driver’s licence, and phone number before leaving the scene.

Kok later lodged a police report and was unable to work for two weeks while waiting to replace his documents.

Yesterday, media reported that police are investigating whether Ling was taken by actual law enforcement officers or by individuals impersonating them, based on Kok’s statement.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed the allegations and said investigations are ongoing. CCTV footage from the location is also being reviewed as part of the probe.

Ling remains missing, with authorities confirming that no ransom demands have been received.
