Rosmah, the wife of former prime minister Najib Razak, turned 73 on Dec 10.

“The court’s decision is a special birthday present for me,” she told reporters at the court compound today.

“I will relay this good message to my husband. This is the justice I was waiting for.”

Rosmah was standing trial on 12 money laundering charges involving RM7.09 million and five charges of failing to declare her income to the Inland Revenue Board.

Justice K Muniandy had allowed her application to have all of the charges against her quashed.

He said the charges were illegal and flawed as they did not comply with provisions in the Criminal Procedure Code.

Rosmah still has an appeal pending before the Court of Appeal over her conviction in the RM1.25 billion corruption case on a solar energy project for rural schools in Sarawak.

In September 2022, she was sentenced to 10 years in jail and fined RM970 million after being found guilty of corruption in connection with the RM1.25 billion project.
