Rosmah Mansor, wife of Malaysia's former prime minister Najib Razak, arrives to face questioning by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission in Putrajaya on Wednesday. (Reuters photo)KUALA LUMPUR: The luxury-loving wife of Malaysia's former prime minister was Wednesday questioned for almost 13 hours by investigators probing the multi-billion-dollar scandal that helped topple her husband's government. Wearing a bright green dress and headscarf, the 66-year-old emerged at about 11pm Wednesday night, to be whisked away in a car. Najib was last week hit with a barrage of money-laundering and abuse of power charges over the scandal. Rosmah is often compared to Imelda Marcos, who left behind more than a thousand pairs of shoes after her husband, Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, was ousted in 1986.
