Court: Rosmah has to declare her property acquisition

In dismissing Rosmah's application, Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan said he accepted the prosecution's argument that Section 49 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001, was pertaining to its power of investigation.

"The applicant's argument that she would be precluded from a right to a fair trial is therefore speculative and unmeritorious," the judge said. "I also concur with the prosecution's argument that the right to remain silent and the privilege against self-incrimination are not constitutionality guaranteed rights," the judge said.

Rosmah filed the application on Feb 24 to set aside a notice issued by the public prosecutor on Nov 1 last year to compel her to declare all her assets from Jan 1, 2009, until Dec 31, 2017, under Section 49 of the AMLATFPUAA.
