Rosmah Mansor: divisive, extravagant, larger than life

KUALA LUMPUR – Even though she does not hold any political office, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s public life as the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak has been criticised as being extravagant and excessive.


She is often depicted in satire and caricatures with a larger-than-life persona, wearing colourful baju kurung, an outrageous diamond ring on her finger, and holding a Birkin handbag.

Although she rarely appears in public events after Barisan Nasional lost the general election in 2018, the public remains interested in her comings and goings, particularly her corruption trial.

Rosmah, 70, is set to know the verdict this morning at the Kuala Lumpur High Court – if found guilty, she can file for a stay of execution pending the disposal of her appeal. And if she is exonerated, the prosecution has 14 days to file an appeal against the ruling.

She has been accused of one count of soliciting RM187.5 million in bribes and two charges of receiving RM6.5 million as gratification.
