Question

Accepted Answer

Rosmah Mansor Ordered to Pay RM67.4 Million for Missing Jewellery

The High Court has ordered Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to pay RM67.4 million to the Lebanese owner of 43 jewellery pieces. This sum represents the estimated value of the items, which were delivered to her in February 2018 and subsequently went missing. The court found Rosmah liable for the value of these pieces after the owner initiated legal action to recover them or their equivalent monetary worth.
Jewellery Value and Lawsuit Initiation

The 43 pieces of jewellery, delivered to Rosmah in February 2018, have an estimated value of RM67,461,027.37. The owner, Global Royalty Trading SAL, filed a lawsuit seeking either the return of these items or their claimed value of US$14.6 million. The legal proceedings were initiated in 2023, with the plaintiff asserting that the jewellery was supplied to Rosmah on a consignment basis and was never returned.
Court's Finding of Liability

High Court judge Quay Chew Soon ruled that Rosmah is liable for the missing jewellery pieces. Following a full trial, the court allowed the plaintiff's claim against the defendant. This judicial finding established Rosmah's responsibility for the value of the jewellery, leading to the order for payment.
Seizure and Dismissed Indemnity Claim

The jewellery in question was seized during a police raid at Pavilion Residences in 2018. In addition to the main claim, Rosmah had also brought a claim for indemnity against the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), who were joined as third parties in the proceedings. However, the court dismissed Rosmah’s claim for indemnity against PDRM.
