Rosmah is accused of having sought and asked for millions of ringgit in bribes from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd in exchange for helping the company get a RM1.25 billion project through direct negotiations from the Education Ministry for a solar hybrid system and the maintenance of diesel generators to supply electricity to 369 rural schools in Sarawak.

Witness Kamarudin Abdullah is pictured at the Kuala Lumpur High Court March 10, 2020. — Picture by Hari AnggaraKamarudin verified a letter dated July 19, 2017 which Mahdzir had sent to Najib in the latter’s capacity as prime minister and finance minister at the time. Cross-examined by Rosmah’s lawyer Azrul Zulkifli Stork, Kamarudin agreed that this was the education minister’s appeal letter to Najib and that there would not have been a minute from Najib as finance minister if there was no such letter.

Asked by Azrul if diesel supply to schools would be interrupted without the payment being made, Kamarudin agreed, saying: Yes, and for the court’s information, the Finance Ministry from the start already said it would not approve, it would not agree because of two things — no direct negotiations, and the technical discussions have not been finalised.”

“But this letter, only a copy was given to me. That means there was no discussion with me or seeking of information from me to prepare this letter, none. This is 100 per cent the minister,” Kamarudin replied.
