Fearing he could suffer the same fate as the missing woman who was allegedly abducted on her way to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) two months ago, the whistleblower who released shocking video clips implicating top Sabah politicians including the chief minister in a bribery scandal, lodged a police report today.
The man, who wore a mask to conceal his identity and was previously identified by his lawyers as "Albert", filed the report with the Petaling Jaya police seeking protection.
Lawyer Latheefa Koya said that while Albert had filed a similar report last year over threats he received in the wake of his expose, this time his fear was more real following the disappearance of Pamela Ling, a witness in an ongoing corruption case being investigated by MACC.

"It became so real when someone like Pamela Ling is abducted based on the reports we read, so it's a real thing that can happen. There is a possibility that these things can happen," she said.
Ling went missing on April 9 as she was travelling in an e-hailing vehicle to the MACC headquarters in Putrajaya.
A missing person report was lodged with the police the same day.
It was reported that the Grab driver of Ling's ride had lodged a police report stating that she had been abducted by people who identified themselves as police, and that he had been forced to mark the ride as "complete".
