PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob is expected to return to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) headquarters, for the sixth time, tomorrow for further questioning.
Ismail, who arrived at 9.57am, left the compound at 4.35pm after investigators quizzed him for at least six hours.
An MACC source said he would be called again tomorrow morning.
It was his fifth session with MACC today after he was called for questioning for the first time on Feb 19, nine days after he declared his assets to MACC.
The anti-graft agency previously said it was questioning the Umno MP as a suspect in an investigation into four of his former senior officers.
Ismail, who collapsed at home on Feb 22 and was hospitalised for blood pressure-related problems, could not attend two previously scheduled sessions with MACC on March 5 and 7.
MACC is investigating the discovery of about RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold bars worth millions of ringgit, all of which were seized in raids at the residences of the four officers and three other premises believed to be “safe houses”.

FORMER prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob returned to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today to continue providing his statement.
This marks his fifth session as part of an ongoing investigation into corruption and money laundering allegations, in which he has been named a suspect.
The Bera Member of Parliament arrived at 9.57am in a black Toyota Vellfire.
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 19, 2025
