Mahkamah benar penangguhan sementara Ismail Sabri jalani pembedahan jantung
Mahkamah menetapkan 27 Ogos ini untuk mendengar pertuduhan terhadap bekas perdana menteri itu.
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is scheduled to undergo heart surgery at the National Heart Institute (IJN) today, his lawyer Amer Hamzah Arshad informed the Kuala Lumpur High Court earlier today. Amer informed Judge Suzana Hussin that Ismail suffered health complications while giving testimony at the SPRM office yesterday and has been scheduled for the procedure at 2 PM today.
Considering this situation, the court has granted a postponement and set the date for 27 August to hear the charges against Ismail. Ragunath Kesavan also represented Ismail. The prosecution, led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan, initially planned to charge Ismail under the Malaysia Anti-Corruption Agency Act this morning.
The case allegedly involves allegations of his declaration of assets. Previously, he was under investigation for corruption and embezzlement of haram money, with SPRM calling him several times for voice recording sessions last year. SPRM is investigating the discovery of around RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold reportedly stolen during an raid at the homes of four men and three premises believed to be used as a "safe house".
The investigation, reportedly related to expenditure and acquisition of funds for promotional and publicity activities under the Malaysia Family initiative, when Ismail was appointed Prime Minister from August 2021 to November 2022. The anti-corruption agency completed its probe in June 2025.
