SHAH ALAM - Former education minister Maszlee Malik said justice has finally been served to the people of Sarawak after Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor was found guilty of all three corruption charges involving the RM1.25 billion project to supply solar hybrid energy to rural schools in Sarawak.
He said he had brought the case to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) in 2018 after being appointed as the education minister.
"The truth is finally out and justice has finally prevailed.
"The cruelty to take away the rights of Malaysian children in Sarawak who struggle with hardships to gain knowledge has been reciprocated.
"I feel grateful because what I had revealed and brought to the MACC and the police in 2018 when I was at the education ministry has been proven today and thanks to all parties involved,” he said on his Facebook post, today.
Simpang Renggam MP further hoped for more kleptocrats and those linked to corruption will be punished.
Earlier, the High Court ruled Rosmah guilty of all three corruption charges involving the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project for 369 Sarawak rural schools.
Judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan made the decision after finding that the defence failed to raise a reasonable doubt against the prosecution.
