MACC has set Friday, March 7 as a new date to question former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob at its headquarters in Putrajaya, according to sources.  
Ismail Sabri was initially expected to be present tomorrow to assist in an investigation into corruption and money laundering involving him, said MACC chief commissioner Azam Baki.
“Datuk Seri (Ismail Sabri)’s statement (recording) has been postponed to 10am, March 7.
“The postponement is due to his poor health status. He has an MC,” said the source.
Earlier, Azam said Ismail Sabri’s statement will be recorded for MACC to proceed with investigations under the MACC Act 2009 and the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001.
ADSOn Feb 10, Ismail Sabri submitted his asset declaration information; on Feb 19, the MACC recorded his statement.
Yesterday, Azam confirmed that the former Umno vice-president is the suspect in the corruption and money laundering investigation following the discovery of approximately RM170 million during a raid at a condominium believed to have been used as a “safe house.”
The probe focuses on the expenditure and management of funds for promotional and publicity purposes during his tenure.
Azam said the commission has recorded statements from 31 individuals and frozen 13 bank accounts with approximately RM2 million, all of which are legitimate and active.
MACC has reportedly seized RM170 million in foreign currencies, including the Thai baht, riyal, pound sterling, won, euro, Swiss francs, and yuan.
Additionally, 16kg of pure gold bullion, valued at around RM7 million, was confiscated. - Mkini
