KOTA KINABALU: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob is not currently being considered for a proposed deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

MACC chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said there is no need to explore the option for Ismail Sabri, who is being investigated for alleged corruption and money laundering involving expenditure and procurement of funds during his tenure.
