Ismail was seen arriving at the MACC headquarters at 9.47am.

He was initially scheduled to give his statement on March 5, but this was postponed to March 7.

A later appointment on March 7 was also postponed after he submitted another medical certificate.

Last Friday, MACC officials interviewed the doctor treating Ismail to determine his health condition and whether it was serious enough to warrant the consecutive medical certificates.

An MACC source previously told FMT that Ismail’s medical certificate runs until March 12, and he would be questioned on March 13.

Ismail is being called in as a suspect in the investigation into four senior officers linked to him.

MACC previously said that about RM170 million in cash and 16kg of gold bars worth millions of ringgit had been seized in raids conducted at the residences of the four officers and three other premises believed to be “safe houses”.
