Former Negeri Sembilan chief minister Datuk Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, currently imprisoned at Sungai Buloh Prison, is scheduled to undergo a heart-related procedure at Serdang Hospital on Thursday morning. A family member of the ex-Felda chairman requested prayers via WhatsApp for the procedure to proceed smoothly, stating, "The family humbly asks all friends and those who know him to pray that the procedure goes smoothly and that everything is made easier. May Allah grant him recovery, strength and good health."
The family expressed their gratitude towards the Malaysian Prisons Department as well as the medical staff at Serdang Hospital for their attention, care, and treatment. "Thank you for all your prayers and concern," the family member added.
Mohd Isa is presently serving a six-year prison sentence for nine corruption charges involving RM3.09 million in bribes related to the 2012 acquisition of Merdeka Palace Hotel & Suites (MPHS) in Kuching, Sarawak. In 2018, he was charged with nine counts of accepting bribes from Ikhwan Zaidel, a former special officer of his former associate, Muhammad Zahid Md Arip, of Gegasan Abadi Properties Sdn Bhd (GAPSB).
The alleged bribes were intended to facilitate the approval of the RM160 million purchase of MPHS by Felda Investment Corporation Sdn Bhd (FICSB).
