KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 4): Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was hospitalised at a private hospital last night, hence putting in doubt whether her corruption trial at the High Court will start tomorrow. One of her counsels Datuk Akberdin Abdul Kader confirmed this to theedgemarkets.com but refused to provide further details, saying more will be revealed in court tomorrow. Following serious objections from senior deputy public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram, who said he also suffered from osteoarthritis and other ailments, Justice Zaini ordered the trial to proceed tomorrow and even allowed Rosmah to come in a wheelchair. Datuk Seri Najib Razak confirmed today that his wife Rosmah has been admitted to hospital since last night. Rosmah is facing three counts of graft in relation to the solar electric project for rural schools in Sarawak.
