Anwar Ibrahim, the prime minister of Malaysia, has urged the government to reject Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the country’s anti-graft agency’s findings, and he is open to hearing about allegations of misconduct involving members of his cabinet.

Ismail Sabri was named as a suspect in a fraud investigation earlier this month regarding RM700 million ( US$ 158.2 million ) in allegedly spending money on a promotional campaign while serving as prime minister.

There are no claims filed against Ismail Sabri, and the investigation is ongoing. After attending a breaking of the fast event in parliament, Anwar was quoted as saying,” Let us not judge, we must respect the rule of law.”

He also refuted says that there was a political plot to target some officials. We can’t touch your home if we discover a few hundred million ( ringgit ) there. Do you tell me that, please?

In their investigation involving Ismail Sabri, officials seize RM170 million in cash in several currencies and 16 kg of almost RM7 million silver plates from three locations.

Anwar pledged to stop any fraud investigations against state ministers.

” Choose check, regardless of who that man is,” the guiding principle is. Why are there no ministries if you ask? I won’t stop the analysis, he said, as quoted by The Star. Give us the labels, show us the address of the home where the cash is hidden.

Ismail Sabri, 65, is now the Member of Parliament for the Bera district in Pahang and served as Malaysia’s premier secretary from August 2021 to November 2022.

The RM700 million supposedly came from a promotion by his government called” Keluarga Malaysia.”

Ismail Sabri came up with the concept of” Keluarga Malaysia,” which means” Malaysian family,” to encourage Malaysians to work together to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve shared prosperity.

When Anwar assumed office as prime minister in November 2022, it was replaced by the phrase” Malaysia Madani” or” Civil Malaysia.”

After a previous meeting on Wednesday that was postponed due to medical leave, Ismail Sabri is scheduled to make his statement with the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission on Friday ( Mar 7 ).
