Kuala Lumpur police chief Rusdi Isa confirmed that the driver of the e-hailing vehicle that was taking Ling to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) headquarters had made the claim in a police report.

“It is still being investigated,” he told FMT.

Malaysiakini quoted Ling’s lawyer, N Sivananthan, as saying he had sighted the police report which was filed on the day of the incident, shortly after the car was cornered by three other vehicles.

Sivananthan said that according to the driver, his car had been intercepted by three others – two dark blue and one white – as they were about to reach the MACC headquarters.

He said a man wearing a police vest and a woman in a police uniform emerged from the cars and asked Ling to go with them, taking the e-hailing driver’s MyKad as well.

Two police reports have been filed in relation to Ling’s disappearance.

MACC said the woman was assisting in a money laundering probe while police said she had visited the anti-graft agency’s headquarters multiple times before her disappearance.

MACC said officers were unable to contact her after her no-show on April 9.

Twelve people have been questioned by the police so far.
