The purported whistleblower in the alleged Sabah mining scandal, who previously lodged a report with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), now fears for his safety following the abduction of Pamela Ling.
The individual, identified only as Mr A, filed a police report at the district police headquarters here, accompanied by his lawyers Latheefa Koya and Mahajoth Singh.
“Today, Mr A lodged a police report for his own safety following the kidnapping of Ling, who has yet to be found.
“The similarity between both of them is that they were called in to give statements to MACC several times, not just once or twice. He is worried about his safety,” Latheefa told reporters outside the police headquarters.
She also said Mr A lodged a police report in November 2024 after receiving a death threat, but claimed that no action had been taken by the authorities.
“The perpetrator sent him a photo of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe,” she said, adding that Abe was assassinated in 2022.
