THE Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today recorded a statement from the doctor treating former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

MACC wants to understand if his health condition is serious enough to justify the delays in the investigation and determine exactly what illness or health issues he is facing.

According to reports in Berita Harian, Ismail Sabri had previously postponed several interview sessions with the corruption watchdog due to health issues.

The Bera Member of Parliament was scheduled to be questioned by the graft busters at their Putrajaya headquarters today after he was named as a suspect in a money laundering probe.

The doctor's statement was taken at a hospital in the Klang Valley at 10am.

MACC was informed that Ismail Sabri had been given a medical certificate (MC) until next Wednesday, March 12.

The former prime minister had also missed his meeting with the MACC on Wednesday due to poor health.

After the first questioning session on Feb 11, Ismail Sabri was reported to have collapsed at home and was rushed to hospital on Feb 22. - March 7, 2025

KUALA LUMPUR, March 6, 2025: Former backdoor prime minister Ismail “Turtle Egg’ Sabri is running scared and has submitted a second medical certificate that prevents the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) from questioning him.

The medical certificate is valid until March 12 - that’s another six-day delay!

And the MACC wants to talk to Ismail’s doctor tomorrow.

A MACC source says the anti-graft agency will not question former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob tomorrow as he has been given a medical certificate until March 12.

Former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob collapsed at home on Feb 22 and was hospitalised for blood pressure-related problems.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission  will speak to Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s doctor tomorrow after the former prime minister was granted a medical certificate that will prevent him from being questioned by the graft-busters tomorrow.

A source from MACC told FMT that Ismail has been given a medical certificate until March 12 and he will be questioned on March 13.

Ismail collapsed at home on Feb 22 and was hospitalised for blood pressure-related problems.

The Bera MP was initially set to provide statements at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Putrajaya yesterday, but the meeting had to be pushed to tomorrow after he was granted a medical certificate.

“We want to record a statement from the doctor treating Ismail to find out whether he will be fit enough to have his statement taken on March 13,” said the source.

“We also want to obtain more details about the illness Ismail is facing. The MACC is concerned about Ismail’s health.”

MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki previously said Ismail was being summoned as a suspect in an ongoing investigation.

Last week, MACC said about RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold bars worth RM7 million had been seized in an investigation into four senior officers linked to Ismail.

The cash and gold were recovered in raids conducted at the residences of the four officers and three other premises believed to be “safe houses”.

Ismail, who was first summoned on Feb 19, also declared his assets as part of a probe into the spending and funding for promotional and publicity purposes during his tenure as head of the government from August 2021 to November 2022.

Azam said 13 bank accounts holding around RM2 million had been frozen.
