KUALA LUMPUR: Rosmah Mansor says she is unaware of reports that two representatives went to the High Court here today to pay the RM50 million fine imposed on her husband, former prime minister Najib Razak.
She said neither she nor her family had been informed of any developments concerning the matter, including the alleged payment.
“I don’t know. The family was not informed, either. You should have told me.
"They (the media) always know better, and after that, they retract (the story)," she told reporters after attending the case management of her solar project case at the High Court here.
Utusan Malaysia reported earlier today that two individuals representing Najib were at the court to facilitate payment of the RM50 million fine.
