Reports of missing persons are often linked to broken families, disputes among friends, or, in some cases, circumstances far more sinister than we can imagine. Cases of suspected abduction should never be taken lightly, as swift action can be crucial in saving a life.
In recent weeks, the number of missing persons reports has risen at a worrying rate, prompting police to appeal to the public for any information that could aid investigations. The cases range from a girl as young as 14 to tourists who vanished while backpacking across Malaysia. Here are some of the urgent cases currently highlighted by the authorities:
1. Pamela Ling
Datin Seri Pamela Ling Yueh was last seen on 9th April 2025 at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters in Putrajaya. What started as a routine attendance as a witness assisting the MACC turned into a full-blown police investigation as reports claimed that the 42-year-old businesswoman was intercepted by three vehicles en route to Putrajaya. The particulars of the case show that Ling and her husband have been under the investigation of the MACC for alleged corruption and money laundering since May 2024.
2. Angel Ho Kha Suen
Last seen at Taman Asia Tenggara, Jalan 21/33, Seapark at 2 PM on 15th May 2025, 14-year-old Suen was reported missing on 19th May to authorities and still remains missing to this day. The teenager was described as having fair skin and mixed Chinese-Indian features, 160 centimetres tall, with straight brown hair down to her waist. Authorities are urging members of the public to come forward with any information regarding her whereabouts.
3. Jordan Johnson-Doyle
A 25-year-old British tourist, Jordan Johnson-Doyle, was reported missing after a night out at a bar in Bangsar on 27th May 2025. According to The Daily Mail (UK), Johnson-Doyle was on a solo tour of Southeast Asia and had been backpacking across the region prior to his disappearance. His last known location was Healy Mac’s Irish Bar in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur, where he had reportedly taken part in a pub quiz — as confirmed by a photo he sent to his mother. She added that his “Find My iPhone” app last pinged at a nearby residential building, but the signal stopped on 30th May, likely when the phone battery died.
