The third wife of former Malaysian army chief Muhammad Hafizuddeain Jantan has been mocked on social media after arriving at court in a wheelchair to face money laundering charges linked to a military procurement scandal.
Salwani Anuar, 27, was first seen in a wheelchair on Thursday at a special corruption high court in Kuala Lumpur, where she and her 58-year-old husband were each charged with four counts under Malaysia’s anti-money-laundering law.
Though Salwani initially walked to the court entrance, she later sat in a wheelchair pushed by a Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officer.
Her lawyer, Fahmi Abd Moin, told the court she had an abscess on her thigh and asked for her to be allowed to remain seated in the dock due to her condition, according to a New Straits Times report.
On Monday, she was wheeled in again, this time to a sessions court in Kuala Terengganu, where she was charged with receiving proceeds from illegal activities in the form of 5,000 ringgit (US$1,260) that was deposited into her bank account.
