KUALA LUMPUR: the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, has been warded at a private hospital since Monday.
Her counsel Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader confirmed this in a WhatsApp message to Bernama yesterday when asked about his client.
Asked whether Rosmah could attend trial the following day, he said: “Tomorrow we will know.”
Rosmah’s much-awaited corruption trial was scheduled to commence yesterday but was postponed to tomorrow as she was absent that day because she was unwell and had been given medical leave until Feb 8.
Based on a medical report from a private hospital which was read out in court, Rosmah was suffering from severe recurrent neck pain with left upper limb radiculopathy, and she also complained of dizziness when lying down in a wrong position.
High Court Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said the court sympathised with Rosmah for her condition and allowed for a two-day postponement but stressed that he could not adjourn the trial dates further.
He said Rosmah would be allowed to sit on a wheelchair in court and granted as many breaks as possible during hearings if she was not feeling well.
Rosmah, 69, claimed trial to a charge of soliciting RM187.5 million and two counts of receiving a bribe of RM6.5 million from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd managing director Saidi Abang Samsudin, through Rosmah’s former aide Datuk Rizal Mansor, for projects to provide solar energy to 369 rural schools in Sarawak.
She allegedly committed the offences at three places in Lygon Cafe, Sunway Putra Mall in Jalan Putra, at her house in Jalan Langgak Duta, Taman Duta and at Seri Perdana Residence, Persiaran Seri Perdana, Precinct 10, Putrajaya between March and Sept 7, 2018. — Bernama
