Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Malaysia's former prime minister, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of failing to declare assets to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). He was granted bail of RM300,000, which was posted by his son.
Ismail Sabri, 66, is the Member of Parliament for Bera. His lawyer, Amer Hamzah Arshad, said the legal team is considering challenging the charge, citing concerns over the prosecution's decision to bring the case. The charge relates to alleged undeclared assets, including cash in various currencies and precious metals.
Outside the court complex, a crowd of supporters had gathered to show their solidarity with Ismail Sabri. He was seen shaking hands and greeting them after the bail was posted. Other notable figures present included former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and former Pahang Menteri Besar Tan Sri Adnan Yaakob.
