The process of recording his statement lasted about five hours.
While waving to the media, the former ninth Prime Minister wished everyone "Selamat Hari Raya."
This marks the sixth day he has appeared at the MACC headquarters to have his statement recorded.
When asked by media representatives if he would return on Tuesday, Ismail Sabri only responded with "Selamat Hari Raya."
