Ismail Sabri to file challenge against undeclared assets charge

Counsel for Ismail Sabri Yaakob indicated that a legal challenge to the charge of failing to declare assets will be lodged following completion of the document review process. The defence team is currently examining all case-related materials provided in connection with the matter, a spokesperson said. No timeline has been provided for when the application will be formally submitted to the court. The move signals the former Prime Minister's intention to contest the charge through legal proceedings. Ismail Sabri, the Member of Parliament for Bera, was previously charged in connection with alleged failures to declare assets as required under Malaysian law.
