[UPDATED] MACC to record statement from Jovian in Indonesia next week

KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob's former son-in-law, Datuk Jovian Mandagie, will have his statement recorded in Indonesia next week. A source said the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) is expected to record his statement over a span of two days in Jakarta. "The MACC has scheduled an appointment, including the location where the statement from the 39-year-old fashion designer will be recorded. "Investigating officers will fly to Jakarta next week and remain there for two days to meet him," the source said. Jovian's statement will be recorded in Jakarta as the former husband of Nina Sabrina Ismail Sabri was reported to have moved there. He moved back to Jakarta after announcing the closure of his fashion business last year and was previously married to the eldest daughter of Malaysia's ninth prime minister. Previously, it was reported that the MACC had yet to record Jovian's statement, in connection with its investigation into asset ownership linked to the former prime minister. MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki confirmed that the commission would record Jovian's statement. Previously, Ismail Sabri had earlier been summoned several times to the MACC headquarters over investigations into corruption and money laundering. The probe concerns the expenditure and procurement of funds for the promotion and publicity of the "Keluarga Malaysia" programme during his tenure as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022. Azam said the investigation was initiated following a directive for Ismail Sabri to declare his assets under Section 36(1) of the MACC Act 2009. The former prime minister submitted his asset declaration on Feb 10, and the MACC is currently analysing the source of the assets.

MACC may question more people after Ismail Sabri's former son-in-law

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian graft busters may need to call other people in for questioning once they speak to the former son-in-law of Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob. Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said, aside from Datuk Jovian Mandagie, anyone else named by the former prime minister in statements to the commission would be called in to have their statements recorded. "The appointment for the statement recording in Indonesia has been scheduled for a few days after Hari Raya Haji. "It's not the final piece of the puzzle... there are still other pieces of evidence we need to gather," he told the New Straits Times . Azam added that MACC was still analysing and verifying the assets Ismail Sabri had declared to it. He said the commission was also scrutinising and conducting further investigation on the "defences" Ismail Sabri has put forward. "Anyone he has named will be called in to give a statement. There are also several banking documents that we have yet to obtain," he said. It was reported that MACC officials are expected to travel to Indonesia within the next two weeks to record a statement from Jovian, who is a former son-in-law of Ismail Sabri. The trip was necessary to verify certain assets declared by the former prime minister on Feb 10. He had named Jovian, who is currently residing in Indonesia, as one of the witnesses. The MACC was expected to complete the investigation by the end of next month. Ismail Sabri has been summoned multiple times to the MACC headquarters over allegations of corruption and money laundering. The case revolves around spending and the acquisition of funds for the promotion and publicity of the Keluarga Malaysia programme during his tenure as prime minister from August 2021 to November 2022. The current investigation is a continuation of the directive for Ismail Sabri to submit an asset declaration under Section 36(1) of the MACC Act 2009. On Wednesday, Azam revealed the RM177 million seized in a case linked to the ninth prime minister is the largest sum he has seen in his 42-year career.

YKM brings festive cheer to Covid-19 affected families in Sabah

Yayasan Keluarga Malaysia chairman Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob presenting gifts to Arvina Chris Nolvi, one of YKM's recipients, during his recent visit. KOTA KINABALU: When Arvina Chris Nolvi lost her husband to Covid-19 three years ago, she felt helpless as she had no fixed income and four school-going children to raise. For the full-time housewife from Kampung Kilirip, Kinarut in Papar, it was not just the loss of a loved one. Her husband, Henry Bisara, who passed away on February 15, 2022, had also been the family's sole breadwinner. Help arrived through Yayasan Keluarga Malaysia (YKM), which has been supporting Nolvi and her children since Bisara's passing, bringing much-needed relief and hope. The family had the opportunity to thank YKM chairman and former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob personally during his visit to their home on Friday (May 23). He said the visit was part of YKM's Ziarah Kasih initiative held in conjunction with the Kaamatan (Harvest) Festival. Ismail Sabri added that these visits have become a tradition for the foundation during major festive celebrations under the Keluarga Malaysia concept. "YKM beneficiaries are found across the country, including Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan. During each festive season, the foundation organises Ziarah Kasih visits and distributes aid to ensure that every recipient can celebrate joyfully with their family. "This visit also reaffirms YKM's commitment to inclusivity, ensuring that no family affected by Covid-19 is overlooked or left behind," he added. Also present was the political secretary to the Deputy Prime Minister I and Papar Umno division chief, Datuk Jamal Norubit @ Nerubi. Following the visit to Nolvi's home, the YKM team continued their outreach to another recipient, Husidah Ahali, in Kampung Pomotodon, Inanam. Husidah lost her husband to Covid-19 and now supports her four children with only RM400 a month from selling traditional snacks. The Ziarah Kasih programme concluded with a visit to Maslinah Abdul Manaf in Kampung Inanam Laut, who also lost her husband to Covid-19 on August 15, 2021. Maslinah, an online entrepreneur, now depends on digital platforms and YKM's assistance to make ends meet. In addition to these visits, YKM also extended festive aid to 14 Dayak recipients in conjunction with the Gawai Dayak celebration. Ismail Sabri expressed hope that all parties, especially local communities in remote areas, would help spread the word about the assistance available for those impacted by Covid-19. The public is encouraged to contact YKM via email at admin@ or by calling 03-22027493.
