FORMER prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has completed his sixth day of providing statement to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.
He told reporters camped outside the anti-graft agency’s headquarters here today he had been given a “day off” tomorrow.
He left at 2.51pm after being questioned for about five hours.
When asked if he will be questioned tomorrow, the Bera MP simply responded: "Cuti.. cuti (off, off)."
It was earlier reported that the ninth prime minister is expected to be present at MACC till the anti-graft agency has enough evidence to wrap up his corruption and money laundering investigation.
A source revealed that the discovery of an unusually large sum of cash had prompted a more extensive review of the documents.
"This is one of the reasons why Ismail Sabri has been summoned for questioning over several days, as MACC officers need to examine hundreds of documents as part of the investigation. Among them are the asset declarations he recently submitted to MACC," said a source.
The probe is being conducted under the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. – March 20, 2025
