00:01Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri-Yakob is expected to be charged on Thursday under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption
00:09Commission Act.
00:10His lawyer, Datuk Amer Hamza Arshad, said the BERA MP will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court.
00:17Previously, the Sessions Court on August 7 postponed proceedings involving Ismail Sabri after his defense team cited his health condition.
00:26Sessions Court Judge Susanna Hussin fixed 9 a.m. Thursday for the charges to be read and for Ismail Sabri
00:34to enter his plea.
00:36Amer Hamza said Ismail Sabri was still under MACC bail and there were no concerns that he would abscond.
00:43He had experienced health complications while giving his statement at the MACC headquarters
00:48and has since undergone a leadless pacemaker implantation procedure at the National Heart Institute for an abnormal heart rhythm.
00:56Deputy Public Prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yousop Khan said the prosecution did not object to the postponement as Ismail Sabri's health
01:04condition did not warrant his presence in court at the time.
01:08Ismail Sabri has previously been summoned several times by the MACC to have his statement recorded as part of its
01:15investigation into his asset declaration.
01:18The MACC seized 170 million ringgit in cash in various foreign currencies and 16 kilograms of gold bullion estimated to
01:29be worth about 7 million ringgit during raids conducted as part of the probe.
