The court fixes Aug 27 to hear the charge against the former prime minister.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is set to undergo heart surgery at the National Heart Institute today, following a health complication experienced while giving his statement at the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters. His lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, informed the Kuala Lumpur sessions court that Ismail was admitted to IJN and diagnosed with a possible arrhythmia.
The court has granted an adjournment, with the case rescheduled for August 27. Ismail was initially charged under the MACC Act, involving allegations of corruption and money laundering linked to the Keluarga Malaysia initiative.
