Former Malaysian PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged under the MACC Act tomorrow, with the case linked to his asset declaration.

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court tomorrow under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act.

According to the court’s online case management system, the Bera MP is scheduled to be charged before Sessions Court judge Suzana Hussin at 9am.

The charge is understood to be related to his declaration of assets.

Ismail Sabri has previously been called in several times by the MACC to have his statement recorded in connection with the asset declaration he submitted to the anti-graft agency.

The MACC had also seized RM170 million in cash in various foreign currencies and confiscated 16kg of gold bars, estimated to be worth RM7 million, as part of its investigation into alleged corruption and money laundering involving the former premier.

The cash and gold were seized during raids on residences and offices believed to have been used as “safe houses” following investigations into four of Ismail Sabri’s former senior officers, who were arrested in February 2025.
