FORMER prime minister Ismail Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has filed reports with the police and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) over a Facebook post linking him to the attack on Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli’s son.

In a statement, he said his aide had since lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police headquarters on Aug 18.

The reports were in relation to two articles which implicated him with the attack on Rafizi's son and a scandal involving a private company.

The Bera MP said he had also lodged a report with the MCMC and Facebook for action to be taken against the page administrator.

He said the posts are false and maliciously intended to damage his reputation.

“I request the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and take strict action against the owner of this Facebook account and any party which spread the article.

“I have also instructed my lawyer to take further legal action against the parties involved,” added Ismail.

Earlier today, Rafizi, the Pandan MP said there were some trying to link the attack on his son to Ismail Sabri or Khairy Jamaluddin which he said was a malicious attempt to divert attention.

"I have not investigated or touched on either of them. Following the attack on my son last week, the question that often hovers is who the mastermind was who ordered the attack.

"The attack was followed by threatening messages asking me to remain silent. So the question arises as to who wants me to remain silent and on what issue," he said on a social media post.

Hs stressed that it has nothing to do with Ismail Sabri, KJ or any other politician. - August 20, 2025
