KUALA LUMPUR: Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was due to be arrested by the Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission (MACC) today on counts of having committed offences under the Anti-Money Laundering Act, Anti-Terrorism Financing Act and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act (Amla) 2001
However, following a ‘special’ directive delivered by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Rosmah will not be arrested and is now due to be produced by the anti-graft agency to the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court on the 4th of October 2018.
The date was fixed to ensure that Rosmah would appear in the witness stand on the same day her husband, former Malaysian premier Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, is scheduled to appear in court.
On the 8th of August 2018, Najib pleaded not guilty to three charges of laundering funds from SRC International, a subsidiary of 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
The pleas were recorded by the Mahkhamah Tinggi Jenayah 3 (MTJ3) at the court complex in Jalan Duta, Kuala Lumpur after the charges were first read to him by a Sessions Court within the same complex.
Najib was accused of receiving a total of RM42 million from SRC in three separate tranches between December 2014 and February 2015.
The High Court fixed the 4th of October 2018 as Case Management day to decide on the schedule of legal proceedings related to the case.
According to a person from camp Mahathir, it is the Prime Minister’s intent to deliver the impression that Rosmah and Najib conspired to siphon billions from 1MDB.
“But the charges aren’t even related to 1MDB. (Still), he (Mahathir) wants them (the people) to think that way.
“He wants husband and wife to appear on the same day to make people think that they are being charged for the same thing, as if (it) all boils down to 1MDB.
“It has nothing to do with 1MDB.”
The story checks out with information an MACC insider delivered to The Third Force.
According to the insider, Rosmah is likely to be pounded with multiple charges on the 4th of October 2018 based on charge sheets already prepared by the MACC.
“There is no saying if the total number of charges that will eventually be thrown to her will match or exceed those read to her husband since the 4th of July (2018).”
The Third Force is made to understand that the whole purpose of drowning both husband and wife with this many charges is to lick their coffers dry to a point that they would find it impossible to post bail.
On the 23rd of September 2018, The Third Force proved beyond any measure of doubt that the charges brought against Najib thus far have nothing whatsoever to do with 1MDB.
By getting the police and the MACC to exert pressure on Najib, Rosmah and UMNO, Mahathir simply wants UMNO Members of Parliament (MPs) to ditch the party by having them believe that they would be targeted if they do not join Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (PPBM) in the nearest time possible.
