Rosmah, 69, in her testimony of her defence in the graft trial, said Rayyan who was the 16th prosecution witness also agreed that Rizal liked name dropping. “My former staff liked to abuse or use my name for name-dropping purposes to ask for money, special treatment or facilities, whereas I had no such knowledge. “From the testimony of Saidi and Rayyan, I could say that Rizal liked to name-drop for his own interest, resulting in both of them to trust what he (Rizal) said. “In fact, I should be the crown witness testifying against Rizal,” Rosmah said of her former aide, adding that Rizal also had disciplinary problems and would go missing at times. This is a selective prosecution, mala fide prosecution in this case, whereas the actual culprit was Rizal,” the lawyer added.
