SINGAPORE: Months before she went missing, Datin Seri Pamela Ling, the wife of a prominent Sarawakian businessman sued her estranged husband in Singapore.
She had accused him of forging her signature to obtain her shares in a Singapore company, the Straits Times reported.
Datuk Seri Thomas Hah, 56, responded with a counterclaim, accusing Ling of wrongfully seizing control of his company, which owns six commercial properties in Singapore.
On April 9, Ling, 42, was reportedly abducted in Putrajaya, while she was on her way to give a statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in relation to a corruption and money-laundering investigation involving her and her husband.
Her disappearance made national headlines after her brother released a statement to the media on May 2.
Seven months later, with Ling still missing, Hah proceeded with his counterclaim.
On Oct 21, the High Court granted judgment in his favour after a one-day trial.
Hah testified via video link from Malaysia while two of his employees took the stand in person.
