KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 12): Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor is likely be dragged to court yet again, reportedly over a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project for rural schools in Sarawak.

The Star Online today, citing a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) source said the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is expected to face charges together with her former aide Rizal Mansor.

According to the report, the MACC source said the duo would be charged by this week.

However, it is unclear what role Rosmah played in the deal or what charges would be brought against her, added the report.

Those familiar with ongoing investigations are tight-lipped, it said.

Recall that the solar hybrid project courted controversy when Sarawak Report alleged in June that the contract was awarded to Bintulu-based company Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd. Jepak Holdings is a transportation services company supposedly on “direct” order of Najib.

The Star Online reported that when asked if Najib and former Education Minister Datuk Seri Mahdzir Khalid would also face charges, the source said: “Not yet”.

Mahdzir was grilled for several hours by the MACC last month, also over the same project.

Najib was called in by the commission on Thursday to assist in investigations as a witness for several cases. One is for the solar hybrid project.
