SEREMBAN: Although the government has confirmed that Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor did not purchase a 22-carat pink diamond, this does not cancel out the fact that the jewel was nonetheless eventually bought with funds allegedly siphoned from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), says Rafizi Ramli.

The PKR vice-president said the fact remained that in 2017, there were filings by the United States' Department of Justice (DoJ) in a civil lawsuit, which alleged that 1MDB funds were used to purchase the US$27mil (RM110mil) pink diamond to be gifted to the former premier's wife.
