Deputy public prosecutor Poh Yih Tinn said the date was fixed during a case management proceeding via Zoom today before High Court senior assistant registrar Nur Azizah Jaafar.

“It will be heard in open court, as requested by Rosmah’s defence team, before Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan,” he said.

Rosmah, 69, filed the applications after the Court of Appeal had on April 8 allowed her appeal to get a copy of Sri Ram’s appointment letter, after the prosecution agreed to provide it to the defence team.

Rosmah brought the matter up for appeal after the High Court dismissed her application over Sri Ram’s appointment letter on Aug 19 last year.

The appointment letter was not dated on or before Nov 15, 2018, the day when Rosmah was charged in court, and was not signed by the then attorney-general, Tommy Thomas.

Instead, the letter was dated July 8 last year and signed by the current attorney-general, Idrus Harun.

On the hearing of Rosmah’s defence, which had been initially scheduled for June 15 and 16, Poh said the court rescheduled it to July 15.

On Feb 18, Judge Mohamed Zaini ordered Rosmah to enter her defence on all three corruption charges and had set nine days to hear evidence from her and other defence witnesses.
