Impound Rosmah S Travel Documents Says Pejuang

Rosmah Mansor, who had been ordered to enter her defence, is scheduled to resume giving evidence at the Kuala Lumpur High Court on Dec 8. (Bernama pic)PETALING JAYA: All travel documents and the passport of Rosmah Mansor must be withheld and restricted once she returns to the country, says Pejuang information chief Ulya Aqamah Husamudin.
It was reported today that the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak was supposed to return from her trip to Singapore by Nov 21 and surrender her passport before Dec 6, but there was no sign of her at the Court of Appeal today.
She was supposed to appear for the hearing of her appeal to disqualify Gopal Sri Ram as the lead prosecutor in her corruption case and annul the trial proceedings.
Ulya said it was clear that Rosmah did not respect the law and should not be given any advantage.
“Rosmah, who has failed to appear at her prescribed court proceedings, is irresponsible and does not respect the country’s legal system.
“Enough opportunities have been given to her which have been misused and taken advantage of. Do not give her room to repeat her failures and act as though she is immune to any legal action,” he said in a statement.
Ulya said what was even more frustrating was that the court had fallen short of issuing a warrant of arrest and revoking Rosmah’s bail for not complying with her court order.
“Let us not forget that she was tried and prosecuted for quite serious offences as it involved abuse of power, corruption and criminal breach of trust, which have a huge impact on the people and the country.
“Why should privileges be given to individuals like this? Imagine if the same thing was done by ordinary people, certainly an arrest warrant would have been issued immediately,” he said.
Rosmah is charged with soliciting RM187.5 million from contractor Saidi Abang Samsudin in a Sarawak schools solar hybrid project, as well as receiving RM6.5 million in cash from him.
It is alleged that the money was meant to help Saidi’s company, Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd, secure the RM1.25 billion project.
