‘You all know better’: Rosmah says no knowledge of RM50m fine payment to secure Najib’s house arrest

Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, has denied any knowledge of the RM50 million fine payment arrangement to secure her husband's house arrest. At a hearing in the Kuala Lumpur courts complex, Rosmah stated that the family was kept in the dark about any payment developments. She also distanced herself from the Umno crowdfunding drive to raise the fine amount, directing questions to party secretary-general Datuk Dr Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki.

The fine, which would allow Najib to serve the remainder of his six-year sentence under house arrest, remains unpaid and has no set deadline. Sultan Ibrahim granted Najib a conditional pardon on September 18, 2022, allowing him to serve the rest of his term under house arrest until August 23, 2028, provided the fine and other conditions are met.
