KUALA LUMPUR: The defence in the corruption trial of Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor in connection with the supply and installation of solar energy to 369 rural schools in Sarawak, wants the prosecution to produce a copy of the letter of appointment of Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram as Senior Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) in the case.

Rosmah’s lead counsel Datuk Jagjit Singh submitted that if there was no such letter of appointment, then the former Federal Court judge should opt out of the proceedings.
