KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court today allowed the temporary release of Rosmah Mansor’s passport for her to travel to Singapore where her daughter is due to deliver soon.
Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan made the order after hearing submissions from Rosmah’s lawyers. The prosecution did not object to the application.
Zaini said the passport will be released today for Rosmah to travel to Singapore from Oct 22. She must return by Nov 21 and surrender the passport to the court on or before Dec 6.
“It is on condition that the applicant can leave the country and only head to Singapore during the period,” he said.
Rosmah is facing corruption charges linked to the solar panel project for Sarawak schools. Her trial will resume on Oct 21 and will continue on Dec 8 after her return.
In a motion filed on Tuesday, the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak said she needed to be with their daughter, Nooryana Najwa, who is due to deliver soon in Singapore.
Rosmah said she would be out of the country from the end of October to early December and wanted the police and the immigration department to give their cooperation.
Nooryana is married to Daniyar Kessikbayev, a Kazakhstan national, and the couple is now residing in Singapore.
Rosmah said Nooryana, who is expecting her second baby, has a history of complications during delivery.
She said she wants to be beside her daughter to provide mental and emotional support after delivery.
Her passport was impounded when she was charged in 2019.

There is a High Risk Najib and Rosmah will "do a Thaksin".
ReplyDeleteThere must NOT be a different standard of law for Rosmah-Jib compared with the ordinary Ahmed, Ah Kaw or Ramasamy.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER heard of a court returning a passport for a person to attend a wedding.
In rare cases, yes, for critical medical treatment not available in Malaysia, and for attending critical legal matters necessary in person.
But never heard of for attending a wedding.
She wants to be with her daughter for the birth of her daughter's baby..not for a wedding.
DeleteBut still, this special dispensation looks to be a one of its kind type.
Bolihland mah!
ReplyDeleteMacam macam ada - especially so for the tongkat race!
Why Malay-sia got no good doctors meh? Lose face to the Red Dot.
ReplyDeleteSo if the father is from Kazakhstan and the baby is born overseas then the baby does NOT qualify to be Malay-sian right? Or a different law applies here for Jibby’s daughter to pass on Malay-sian citizenship when thousands of other Malay-sian mothers married to foreigners don’t have this right.
