But instead of entering through the usual witness room by the side of the courtroom, Rizal was seen entering from a room near the front of the courtroom usually accessed only by court officials. The prosecution's deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib then said he did not know of the security arrangements that could have been in place for Rizal due to his status as a protected witness.
During trial, witnesses who testify are sometimes asked to identify individuals that they had named during their testimony. In this trial, Rosmah is accused of having solicited RM187.5 million in bribes from Jepak Holdings Sdn Bhd's Saidi Abang Samsudin and for taking a RM1.5 million bribe from him and a separate RM5 million bribe from him via Rizal, in exchange for helping the company Jepak Holdings get a RM1.25 billion project from the Education Ministry.
