KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians who voted scandal-tainted prime minister Najib Razak out of office last month were treated to the sight of his allegedly high-spending wife Rosmah Mansor submitting herself to questioning at the anti-graft agency headquarters on Monday.


The former first couple were barred from leaving the country following the May 9 election as investigators relaunched a probe into how billions of dollars went missing from a state fund founded by Najib.


Whatever awkward questions Rosmah, 66, faced during a three interview with investigators, she showed no sign of being discomfited as she left the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission building.


Wearing a bright blue traditional dress, with a red scarf swept over her head, Rosmah stepped lightly into her Mercedes and waved to the TV cameras, leaving her lawyers to issue a brief statement.


“The MACC officers have completed recording a statement from our client,” her lawyer K.Kumaraendran said after Rosmah left.


“The over three-hour long process went well. Our client will extend further cooperation as and when sought by the agency,” he added. — AFP
