KUALA LUMPUR The defence team representing former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has described the charge against him for allegedly failing to declare millions of ringgit in assets as very strange and unique.Lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad said the charge was particularly unusual given that the prosecution had previously sought the forfeiture of assets seized during its investigation under Section 41 of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act 2009.The assets involved include RM14.7 million in cash, millions in foreign currencies and five gold bars.The foreign currencies comprise SG$6.1 million, US$1.46 million, CHF3 million, 12.16 million, 363 million, 50,250, NZD44,600, AED34.7 million and AUD$352,850.During the proceedings, Amer said the prosecution had previously confirmed that no criminal prosecution would be brought against Ismail after the investigation papers were examined.There was previously a declaration by the prosecution confirming that, after the investigation papers had been examined, no prosecution would be brought against Ismail Sabri.However, now for a very strange reason, we have been informed that the prosecution is proceeding even though the powers under Section 41 of the MACC Act have been exercised.This creates a very strange and unique situation, he said.Amer appeared alongside lawyers Datuk Seri Rajan Navaratnam, Ragunath Kesavan, Joshua Tay, Tan Xu Yin, Jason Anthony and Ashwath Ramakrishnan.He said the defence would examine the charges and reserved the right to challenge their propriety and validity.The lawyer's remarks come after the MACC previously sought the forfeiture of nearly RM170 million seized during its investigation in July 2025.On Oct 1, 2025, the Sessions Court ordered the money to be forfeited to the government after no third party came forward to claim the funds and no objection was filed against the forfeiture application.

The former prime minister pleaded not guilty to allegedly failing to declare millions in cash, foreign currencies and gold to MACC.

KUALA LUMPUR - The government paid RM16.4 million to Nepturis Sdn Bhd for the construction of the Klang Utara District Police Headquarters (IPD), the High Court here heard today.Former Selangor Public Works Department (JKR) director Lokman Nasir, 62, said the payments for the RM141 million contract were made through eight transactions between May 17, 2022, and Feb 3, 2023.The 23rd prosecution witness confirmed this after being referred to Malaysian Government Payment Vouchers while testifying in the trial of former Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who faces seven charges of abuse of power and money laundering linked to the Jana Wibawa project."I confirm that these are documents from the Malaysian Government Payment Vouchers - Payment Instruction from the Selangor State PTJ (responsibility centre) group, JKR to Nepturis Sdn Bhd. I confirm that the payment was made for the Klang Utara District Police Headquarters Construction Project in Selangor."Based on these payment vouchers, I confirm that the payments were made to Nepturis's Maybank Islamic Berhad account," he said in his witness statement.In previous proceedings, a businessman, Lian Tan Chuan, told the court that he had asked Nepturis managing director Mohd Rizman Akum Khan to prepare a RM1 million cheque for payment to Bersatu.Lokman, who retired last April, also confirmed that the Klang Utara IPD project fell under the jurisdiction and financial purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs."There were also several other payments that were still in process or had yet to be effected at the time," he said.Responding to deputy public prosecutor Datuk Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin's question on payment procedures, Lokman confirmed that no irregularities were detected in the government's transaction process at the time.Meanwhile, 24th prosecution witness, Datuk Zulkipeli Yamat, told the court that the government had also agreed to accept a tender offer worth RM605.2 million from Sutracom Sdn Bhd for the construction and upgrading of the Pulau Indah Ring Road Phase 3 project.Zulkipeli, a former JKR Quantity Surveying Services director, also confirmed the Letter of Acceptance for the contract, which required signatures from both the government and Sutracom.Earlier, the court allowed the prosecution's application to amend the fourth charge to include the name of KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd, after the defence raised no objections.Muhyiddin, 79, who was then also Bersatu president, was charged with four counts of abuse of power for allegedly soliciting RM232.5 million in bribes for the political party from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, Nepturis Sdn Bhd, Mamfor Sdn Bhd, and Datuk Azman Yusoff in connection with the Jana Wibawa project.He was accused of committing the offence at the Prime Minister's Office, Bangunan Perdana Putra, Putrajaya between March 1, 2020, and Aug 20, 2021, under Section 23(1) of the MACC Act 2009, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years' imprisonment and a fine of five times the value of the gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher, upon conviction.The Pagoh MP also faces three charges of receiving RM200 million in unlawful proceeds from Bukhary Equity Sdn Bhd, which were deposited into Bersatu's Ambank and CIMB Bank accounts, allegedly committed in Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur between February 2021 and July 2022.These charges were brought under Section 4(1)(b) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years' imprisonment and a fine of either five times the value of the proceeds from unlawful activities or RM5 million, whichever is higher.The trial before Judge Noor Ruwena Md Nurdin resumes tomorrow

Only evidence gathered independently by enforcement agencies through their investigations can be presented in court," he told Bernama when contacted.Yaacob, who has served as a conducting officer and secretary for several RCIs, said not every instance of mismanagement, failure to manage or negligence constituted a criminal offence, as this depended on whether the specific elements of an offence prescribed by law were present.He said an act could constitute a criminal offence if there were elements such as criminal intent, criminal breach of trust involving entrusted assets or funds, fraud arising from decisions or personal interests, or conflicts of interest that resulted in benefits or gains for the parties involved."If it involves merely mismanagement, failure to manage or negligence, the matter may give rise to civil liability, such as a breach of fiduciary duty, which could result in legal action to recover funds or assets lost due to the breach," he said.Meanwhile, lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla said criminal action must be taken if investigations establish that an offence had been committed and sufficient evidence exists, regardless of the individual's position.He said such action was important to ensure that the RCI's recommendations on TH were translated into appropriate measures, while restoring public and depositors' confidence in the institution and the investigative process."That is what the public wants to see. The sooner we can resolve straightforward matters and bring them to court, provided there is sufficient evidence, the more public confidence will grow, he said.However, Mohamed Haniff stressed that prosecuting a particular case would not mean that all investigations arising from the RCI report had been completed, as inquiries into other matters could still be ongoing.He said that based on information he had received, nearly 200 individuals had been called by the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) separately to record their statements, with investigations expected to continue for another three to six months.He also proposed that the Attorney General's Chambers establish a special unit comprising three Deputy Public Prosecutors (DPPs) with experience in MACC cases and general criminal law to oversee and comprehensively assess all investigation papers related to the TH RCI submitted by PDRM and MACC.He said such a mechanism could improve investigative efficiency, particularly as the RCI involved two enforcement agencies that follow different procedures in handling investigation papers.Earlier, MACC Chief Commissioner Datuk Seri Abd Halim Aman was reported as saying that the commission had opened 14 investigation papers and conducted various operations, including arrests, remand applications and seizures, as well as inspections and searches at 28 premises
