00:00The KL High Court has set June 10th as the date to deliver its verdict in a $14.57 million
00:06civil suit involving Datin Seri Rosmah Mansour.
00:10The case centers on more than 40 pieces of high-value jewelry and a claim that they have gone missing.
00:15The three-day hearing that wrapped up this week heard testimony from six witnesses, including senior police officers.
00:22The final witness was Chong Tong Leong, a renovation contractor whose account placed him at the center of a crucial
00:28location.
00:30Chong told the court he carried out renovation work at a Pavilion Residences condominium unit between March and May 2018,
00:38hired by the unit owner known as NADZIF.
00:41On May 14th of that year, he returned to the double-story unit to inspect it ahead of air-conditioning
00:46installation and saw several large suitcases in a ground-floor room that had not been there previously.
00:52He then left the unit and contacted NADZIF, who instructed him to temporarily stop renovation work.
00:57Three days later, on May 17th, 2018, police raided that same unit.
01:04Former Commercial Crime Investigation Department Director Datuk Seri Amar Singh told the court on Tuesday that bags of cash and
01:11jewelry were found spilling onto the floor.
01:13In the lawsuit filed on March 29th, 2023, Lebanon-based jeweler Global Royalty Trading S.A.L. alleges that Rosma
01:22falsely claimed the 44 pieces sent to her through the company's agent had been seized by Malaysian authorities under anti
01:28-money laundering laws.
01:30The company insists that only one piece was ever held by police.
01:34The remaining 43, it says, are unaccounted for, and the responsibility was wrongly shifted to the Malaysian government.
