KJ turns up to support Ismail Sabri at court

KUALA LUMPUR - At the charge proceedings of former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin was seen in attendance. He remained in the packed Sessions Court throughout the proceedings, where he approached Ismail Sabri upon conclusion to offer his well wishes. After the charges were settled, Khairy strolled alongside Ismail Sabri, a 66-year-old member of parliament, as he was escorted out of the court complex.

The proceedings saw the granting of a RM300,000 bail to Ismail Sabri, subject to one surety from the judge Suzana Hussin. The judge denied the prosecution's request to seize Ismail Sabri's passport, as there was no evidence to suggest he might flee the country. Other notable attendees included former Pahang menteri besar Tan Sri Adnan Yaakob.
