Court

The cases in court against Rosmah, was allegedly based ala Trial by Media on building up public perceptions against former Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, in particular, as he seeks freedom from arbitrary detention as political prisoner!

Based on the Prime Minister's speech last month, it is obvious that the Royal Addendum order relating to the house arrest for former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak does exist, so why is the government 'hiding' it?

Najib’s lawyer told the court that Petronas gave more ‘absolute power’ to PM over company affairs than 1MDB

Although former Prime Minister Najib has been charged for abuse of power, MACC investigating officer Nur Aida Arifin tells defence counsel Shafee Abdullah that the fugitive financier Jho Low was the one with total control of the company

Finance Ministry had instructed that the funds should be returned to the Treasury, and nowhere else!

Former 1MDB CEO Datuk Shahrol Azrai is unaware why the Malaysian gov't dropped him as a defendant in the 1MDB subsidiary SRC International RM5.64 billion suit against former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak and the company's former CEO, Nik Faisal Ariff Kamil, and denies striking any deal with the authorities

Former 1MDB lawyer Jasmine Loo was first charged in absentia in December 2018 when she was accused of laundering US$5 million and US$999,975, being proceeds of unlawful activity received into the account of River Dee International SA (BVI) in Falcon Private Bank AG in Zurich, but to date the charges have yet to be pursued, giving rise to speculations about a possible deal with the authorities

From the number of statements made by Jasmine Loo during the course of her taking the witness stand, it is obvious that the top level management and certain parties involved with 1MDB would keep former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the dark about some of the dealings and used his name as purportedly giving approval to some of the project developments.

Attending Medical Officer Dr Hafiz Husni said under oath that the former Prime Minister suffers low blood pressure and pulse, as well as diarrhoea and severe abdominal pain, and is giving him medical leave for two days. However, the attending judge for the 1MDB trial will only accept leave for today (Tuesday)

After much prodding from defence counsel Tan Sri Shafee Abdullah, former 1MDB general counsel Jasmine Loo admits that the joint-venture agreement between 1MDB and PSI was purely a scam

In what is an obvious effort to minimise his error in neglecting to do further due diligence on the investments by SRC, Shahrol said he took things that were proposed to him by Nik Faisal at "face value", including the fact that the latter may be telling former Prime Minister Najib a different story altogether

During the 1MDB trial, defence counsel Shafee Abdullah asked Loo why Jho Low's character cannot be generalised when he is obviously a crook of the highest order, but his client's (Najib's) character was heavily generalised and his liberty at stake, Low's is not and he could be on the beach somewhere while Najib is in the dock!
