Rubbish! That is not my voice – Rosmah
By Admin – 23 December 2021
KUALA LUMPUR – Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor rubbished claims on an audio recording which allegedly happened between her husband, Datuk Seri Najib Razak and her.
The audio recording was exposed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in a news conference last year, which allegedly showed that Rosmah was angry with Najib.
The video was played by the prosecutor of the case, Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram during the solar hybrid project corruption proceeding involving Rosmah at the High Court today.
Gopal Sri Ram asked for the permission from High Court Judge, Mohamed Zaini Mazlan to play that recording during the trial.
Right after the recording was played, Rosmah denied that it was her voice.
“This is rubbish! That’s not my voice,” she said promptly.
Gopal Sri Ram then stop playing the audio recording as Rosmah has denied it.
The prosecution bombarded Rosmah with questions, alleging that she was the person behind that voice.
Gopal Sri Ram: I suggest that it is your voice?
Rosmah: That is not my voice.
This is also the first time for the wife of the former Prime Minister to deny the recording since it was revealed last year.
Besides her voice and Najib, the audio recording also allegedly involved the conversation between the former Chief Commissioner of MACC, Datuk Seri Dzulkifli Ahmad and Najib, along with a senior officer from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The leaked conversation which allegedly happened between Rosmah and Najib was well known as ‘Can I advise you something?’.
Rosmah has currently entered defence for corruption corruption charges on the solar hybrid project for the rural schools in Sarawak. She is charged for instigating gratification amounting to RM187.5 million and receiving RM6.5 million in bribery from the former Managing Director of Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd, Saidi Abang Samsudin.

The transcript
Received via WhatsApp:
Najib: Datin.
Rosmah: Ah, Datuk, ya.
Najib: Hi.
Rosmah: Hi. (Raises voice) Can I advise you something?
Najib: Ya, ya, ok. Anything?
Rosmah: You still don’t listen to me. They tell you to slow down on Abu Kassim, but Abu Kassim is making statements. He is taking pictures with Pak Lah. He is looking like a hero and you, the villain. And all these five people, can’t they see that their first priority is you, not anybody else?
Najib: Which five people?
Rosmah: In your office, lah. (Mentions names, some inaudible)…Amhari, Tengku. We are painted as the villains.
Najib: No, no, I allowed Azwan to make the statement. (Inaudible)
Rosmah: Ok, make the statement, fine. Now, today Abu Kassim is in Berita Harian, why is it they allow Abu Kassim to take pictures with Pak Lah? He has the cheek to thank Pak Lah and everybody else except you, and that’s not fair.
Najib: Hmm, hmm, understand, understand. I’ve already signed the letter for Dzul’s appointment.
Rosmah: (inaudible). I don’t like this. Darling, you are the prime minister, you should take in charge, not anybody else, OK?
Najib: Yup, I understand.
Rosmah: You’ve got goons around you. I told (inaudible name), if you want to help Datuk Seri, why aren’t you helping him? The moment this happened you should have approached him, ask how can I help. Now, after one week, (inaudible). I don’t understand. I complained against Abu Kassim (inaudible) and now you come to inform. I don’t understand (inaudible).
Rosmah Mansor is heard in the recording telling Najib Razak to invite Mubadala Development Company chief executive Khaldoon Al-Mubarak to Malaysia to resolve a dispute over 1MDB bonds guaranteed by the UAE fund.
Najib: That’s what Amhari told me. I said, you go and talk to Khaldoon. Try to convince him that there is no point going for arbitration. If we go for arbitration, everybody will get hurt. I can speak to the crown prince, but the Arab style is he needs to consult Khaldoon first.
Rosmah: You can’t blame the crown prince, that is their culture. We have to work around their culture. Maybe Khaldoon should come here and talk to you and Amhari and settle it. That’s how I feel. Not talking over the phone. Invite him, sort it out once and for all.
Najib: That’s a good idea, we can invite him here, I’ll tell him that.
Rosmah: And then in the meantime, we can also sort out Riza. Riza’s problem is that somewhere along the line the (inaudible) was not completed. That’s all.
Najib: Sure, sure.
Rosmah: Bring him here, a lot of things can be solved.
Najib: OK, I can suggest to Amhari.
Najib Razak is heard in the recording pledging to speak to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan that international arbitration to settle the 1MDB bond dispute is not desirable.
Najib Razak is heard in the recording pledging to speak to Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan that international arbitration to settle the 1MDB bond dispute is not desirable.
Rosmah: Then we tell the crown prince that Khaldoon is here to talk to us and settle it once and for all.
Najib: A lot of things are moving already. These people, they want to see some movement on the other side, the Chinese side. The Chinese side is moving already.
Rosmah: Invite him here immediately. And tell the crown prince Khaldoon is here (inaudible) that Sheikh Mansour wants to solve this, we want to solve this.
Najib: OK, OK, I’ll speak to Amhari after this.
Rosmah: Or, or, you talk to Khaldoon, please come here, let’s solve everything at one go.
