Accepted Answer

High Court to Decide on Rosmah Mansor's Defence in RM1.2 Billion Solar Project Case on February 18

The High Court has scheduled February 18 to deliver its decision on whether Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor is required to present her defence against three corruption charges linked to a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project. This determination follows the court's hearing of oral submissions from both the prosecution and the defence teams.
Prosecution's Argument on Bribery Allegations

The prosecution, led by Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, has argued that the evidence presented in court sufficiently supports the assertion that Rosmah sought a bribe. This alleged bribe was to be channelled through her aide, Datuk Rizal Mansor, with the aim of facilitating Jepak Holdings' acquisition of the solar hybrid project contract.
Defence's Contention of Non-Involvement

Conversely, the defence, represented by Datuk Jagjit Singh and Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kadir, has put forth that Rosmah had no role in the process of securing the project. They contend that she did not personally solicit any bribes from Saidi Abang Samsudin, the former managing director of Jepak Holdings.
Details of Corruption Charges

Rosmah Mansor faces accusations of receiving two bribe payments from Jepak Holdings and Saidi Abang Samsudin. These alleged payments include RM5 million on December 20, 2016, and RM1.5 million on September 7, 2017. These sums are claimed to have been received in exchange for her assistance in securing the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project.
Scope of the Solar Project Contract

The contract in question was for an integrated project encompassing a solar photovoltaic hybrid system. It also included the operation and maintenance of generators for a total of 369 rural schools situated in Sarawak.
