Ismail Sabri enters court to face asset declaration charge

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob entered the Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday, where he is expected to face charges for failing to declare his assets. The 66-year-old, accompanied by his wife, Datin Seri Muhaini Zainal Abidin, and their children, including singer Dafi, appeared calm in the public gallery as he awaited proceedings before Judge Suzana Hussin.

The gallery was filled with his siblings, supporters, journalists, and security personnel, with Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun, a former Dewan Rakyat speaker, also present. Ismail Sabri is represented by legal counsel led by Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad, while deputy public prosecutor Farah Ezlin Yusop Khan leads the prosecution.
