KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 — Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor’s lawyer, Datuk Jagjit Singh, today said her defence would be handicapped as her trial judge did not fully explain why he directed her to answer her three corruption charges today.

Earlier today, High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said that the prosecution has successfully proven a prima facie case against Rosmah on all of her three charges of corruption involving a RM1.25 billion project for the supply of electricity to 369 rural schools in Sarawak.

“We are hampered, to a certain extent, because if he had given his grounds, we know his thinking in his evaluation for calling for the defence.

“Right now we don’t know his thinking; we only have to guess,” Jagjit told reporters before leaving the High Court here, where the case proceedings were held this morning.
