KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 3 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was absent from the court here on the scheduled first day of her first trial involving an alleged bribes-for-contract scandal, which was to be held on the same day as her husband and former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's ongoing corruption trial.
Lead prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram had however objected to the medical certificate being used to justify her absence in courtroom, arguing that he too was suffering from some of the medical conditions that Rosmah was said to have.Sri Ram read out from the February 2, 2020 medical report issued by KPJ Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital’s Datuk Dr Syed Abdul Latiff Alsagoff which recorded Rosmah’s visit for “severe recurrent neck pain with upper limb radiculopathy”.
Rosmah’s lead defence lawyer Datuk Jagjit Singh said he was only informed of the medical situation last night by his client. The judge said he was “very willing to allow adjournments as and when she feels necessary to take a break”. Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader, another lawyer representing Rosmah, was asked when his client visited the doctor.This is not the first time Rosmah had called in sick for court proceedings, as she had also done so previously during a case mention on April 5, 2019 and also during court proceedings in May 2019.
The contract was for an integrated project for solar photovoltaic hybrid system and for the operation and maintenance of generators for 369 rural schools in Sarawak.
