PUTRAJAYA, March 13 – Former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob left the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) headquarters at 3:15 PM today after hours of questioning in an ongoing corruption probe. Ismail, who was first questioned on February 19, is expected to return tomorrow at 10 AM, following health considerations.

The investigation revolves around four of his former senior officers, with MACC previously confirming Ismail as a suspect after seizing RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold bars. He becomes the third former prime minister to be investigated for corruption after Najib Razak and Muhyiddin Yassin.
