It's fake news, says Ismail Sabri denying claims of unrecorded RM620bil expenditure by govt during MCO

PETALING JAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob denies talk of an unrecorded MR620bil in expenditure by the Treasury Department, saying it is fake news as all expenses were recorded in the government’s accounts.

On his official social media accounts, Ismail Sabri shared a post by a person known as Yusoff Bachek, who uses the handle @mohayusba, that he said was untrue. In his post, Yusoff had claimed that RM620bil was unaccounted for by the Treasury from 2020 to 2022 during the movement control order to control the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
