Rosmah’s RM67.5m jewellery bill: No pause button, Court of Appeal rules
PUTRAJAYA, Sept 23 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has lost her latest bid to fully halt a RM67.5 million payment...
Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has lost her latest attempt to stop a RM67.5 million payment to Lebanese jeweller Global Royalty Trading SAL over missing jewellery pieces. The Court of Appeal dismissed her appeal against the High Court's conditional stay order, meaning she must still deposit the funds within a month. Rosmah's lawyer, Datuk David Gurupatham, confirmed the jeweller can and is willing to collect every cent.
The dispute began with a June High Court ruling holding Rosmah responsible for 43 missing pieces of jewellery after a 2018 police raid. Rosmah argued to pause the payment pending her main appeal, claiming her assets were tied up in a separate 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) suit against her. However, the court found no grounds for an unconditional stay, noting her 1MDB undertaking only covered specific items, not her full asset picture.
Only one of the 44 jewellery pieces has been recovered so far, and her main appeal is scheduled for March 25, 2027, with a cost order of RM30,000.
