It may be a quiet week after the Chinese New Year holidays in terms of economic data, but there will be more excitement in the courts and on the corporate front.
On Thursday (Feb 18), the Kuala Lumpur High Court will deliver its decision on whether to call Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, to enter her defence in relation to three counts of graft related to a solar hybrid project involving 369 schools in Sarawak or to acquit her of all charges.
The date was fixed after Justice Mohamad Zaini Mazlan heard submissions from the prosecution and defence last week. Senior deputy public prosecutor Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram is leading the prosecution team.
