Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will be charged tomorrow in the Sessions Court here.

His lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad confirmed the date when contacted today. The case will be heard before Judge Suzana Hussin. The specific charges have yet to be disclosed, Amer Hamzah said. The prosecution relates to asset declaration, according to Amer Hamzah.

The hearing, originally scheduled for 7 August, was postponed until tomorrow after Amer Hamzah requested a delay because Ismail Sabri’s son was receiving treatment at the National Heart Institute.

“Court allows the proceedings for the reading of charges and taking of the accused’s plea to be postponed to 27 August,” Judge Suzana said.

Ismail Sabri has previously attended several sessions to record statements on his asset declaration to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). MACC also seized RM170 million in cash and 16 kg of gold bullion worth an estimated RM7 million during raids on properties linked to four senior aides detained in February 2025.
