Rosmah Allegedly Received RM6.5 Million in Bribes for Solar Project

Datin Seri Rosmah allegedly received a total of RM6.5 million in two separate payments from Jepak Holding Sdn Bhd managing director Said Abang Samsudin. These alleged bribes were reportedly given to facilitate Jepak Holdings securing a government solar hybrid project.
First Payment of RM5 Million Allegedly Delivered to Seri Perdana

Around December 2016, a sum of RM5 million in cash was allegedly delivered to Datin Seri Rosmah at Seri Perdana, the official residence of the then Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak. Datuk Rizal Mansor testified that he personally transported the cash in two luggage bags, accompanied by his driver and Datuk Ahmed Farriq Zainul Abidin. Upon arrival, Rizal instructed two of Rosmah's butlers to carry the bags into her house. Rosmah allegedly inquired about the amount, to which Rizal responded "five," indicating RM5 million. She reportedly did not inspect the bags and instructed a butler to take them to her room.
Additional RM1.5 Million Allegedly Provided at Private Residence

In a subsequent meeting in 2017, Saidi allegedly informed Rizal that another RM1.5 million had been given to Rosmah. This payment was reportedly made at Rosmah's private residence on Jalan Langgak Duta. Saidi had previously testified that he and his business partner, Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah, personally delivered two bags containing this RM1.5 million to Rosmah's mansion on September 7, 2017.
Alleged Bribes Linked to RM1.25 Billion Solar Project

The alleged bribes totalling RM6.5 million are connected to a RM1.25 billion solar energy project awarded by the Education Ministry to Jepak Holdings. Rosmah faces charges of soliciting RM187.5 million in bribes from Saidi, accepting a direct RM1.5 million bribe from him, and the separate RM5 million bribe allegedly channelled through Rizal. These actions were purportedly in exchange for her assistance in securing the project for Jepak Holdings.
RM500,000 Allegedly Paid to Rizal for Facilitation

On the same day the RM5 million cash payment was allegedly delivered to Rosmah, Saidi and Rayyan Radzwill Abdullah reportedly visited Rizal's home. They allegedly presented him with RM500,000 as compensation for his role in arranging the payments. Rizal's testimony details his involvement in facilitating these alleged transactions between Saidi and Rosmah.
