KUALA LUMPUR: Rosmah Mansor has been found guilty on three counts of corruption in connection with the RM1.25 billion Sarawak rural schools’ solar energy project.

High Court judge Zaini Mazlan ruled that the prosecution had proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Rosmah, the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak, was charged in November 2018 with soliciting RM187.5 million and receiving RM1.5 million for the project to provide electricity to schools in 369 rural schools in Sarawak.

She was charged under Section 16(a)(A) of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Act, and faces imprisonment of up to 20 years and a fine of no less than five times the amount of the gratification or RM10,000, whichever is higher.

And oppies still say PAP politicians are the most highly paid politicians in the world.

PAP smarter in sucking money out of the system through "legalised" methods and "profit sharing" amongst elites and their supporters via employment, contracts and other official lines of opportunities.

Please lah, nobody is clean when power is at stake.

PAP leaders don't have boxes of cash and expensive jewelry lying around. They also don't have billions of cash in their bank accounts, unlike najib.

You're welcome to check the Panama files or wikileaks and share with us if there's any corrupt PAP politician exposed.

You were saying that people assumed they are the world's highest paid politicians and I replied that it's a fact, not an assumption, that they are.

Whether they have boxes of cash lying around or billions in their banks, no one knows.

Teh Cheang Wan and Phey Yew Kok comes to mind...

You were saying that people assumed they are the world's highest paid politicians and I replied that it's a fact, not an assumption, that they are.

It looks like your 'fact' is outdated. It has been shown that najib is paid easily 100 times that of a PAP politician. Najib has over $1 billion dollars in his bank account. And that's najib only. We haven't included his cronies and other politicial allies, including the ultra religious and retarded PAS.

The $1 billion he has in his account is not "payment".

Who will spend the RM180 mil muhyiddin returned back to najib after it was seized by dr m?

Convicted in RM1.2b solar power case, tearful Rosmah insists never sought bribes

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 1 — Datin Seri Romah Mansor gave a teary speech from the dock she was convicted of all three charges in corruption trial involving a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project for Sarawak schools, maintaining she never asked for or took the bribes involved.

Instead, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak sought to portray herself as having contributed immensely to Malaysia, especially in the areas of children and women empowerment, and that she was wrongly convicted.

In her speech of around five minutes, she maintained that she was scapegoated by former aide turned prosecution witness Datuk Rizal Mansor and that she never personally met the individuals who said the paid the bribes to her.

“I must admit I’m very disappointed today, with what’s happening to me in this courtroom; I thought this is where you get justice.

“I’ve always told my lawyers to speak the truth and don’t ever lie because that’s how I was brought up. I want to leave this courtroom with good memories of what the court system and judiciary. I want to tell everyone that I was a former first lady whose only intention was to help the country,” she said tearily.

Rosmah said she started the Permata children’s development and welfare programme to help underprivileged women and children, describing herself as a disciplinarian who wanted to guide youths in that direction.


She insisted that during her entire time leading the organisation, which was rebranded after Barisan Nasional lost the 2018 general election, she never sought to embezzle its funds.

“I led a lot of NGOs and never once had I thought if taking even a single sen to cheat the public. I’ve always been careful, so, when I get into this courtroom it took me by surprise. How was I made the victim when not for one moment did I have any thought to cheat or otherwise.

“It’s also not about hearsay like the prosecution says. People accuse me of influencing my husband but truth is, every time I open my mouth, he would tell me not to interfere with his affairs and I don’t.

“So, I don’t want to take the court’s time too much but I’m standing here as a woman appealing for some compassion. Be human about it. It has happened to me now in the future but can happen to all of you. You’re next.
“As for me, its OK I’m a victim of all of this. You did it to my husband and you want my family to suffer. We’ll we’ve suffered. Please consider me as a woman who’s in a man’s world trying her best and have some humanity,” she concluded.

Najib is currently serving a 12-year sentence in Kajang Prison after he lost his final appeal last month against his conviction on all charges related to the misappropriation of RM42 million in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.

Earlier today, Rosmah was found guilty on all three charges for soliciting and receiving bribes in turn for offering a government project worth RM1.25 billion to Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd.
Court is in recess for a few minutes while Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan decides her sentencing.
