More than 80 supporters of former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob gathered outside the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex this morning, according to BuletinTV3. The group, primarily from Bera, Pahang, traveled three hours by bus to show their support for Ismail Sabri. Some also arrived by personal vehicle. They arrived at the Kuala Lumpur Court Complex around 7am after leaving their homes at 3am.
The former prime minister is set to face charges under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009, with a hearing scheduled for 9am. Ismi Sabri, who is also a member of Parliament for Bera, arrived at the court at 8:32am. The MACC investigation led to the seizure of RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold bars as part of the probe into his senior officers.
The charges and plea reading were postponed due to Ismail Sabri's health concerns, including an irregular heartbeat and a planned pacemaker implantation.
