At this point, several in the gallery point to the accused's dock. Mojigoh finally notices Najib and gives the former premier a salute.- The 15th prosecution witness is former United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation treasurer-general Marcus Mojigoh.
Mojigoh testifies that the Sabah-based party received an RM1 million cheque dated Feb 13, 2015 to conduct a corporate social responsibility project called Projek Sayang. He says that Upko relied on funding from members' contributions, but it was not enough. As such, they had also asked for funding from those “higher up,” referring to then-BN chairperson Najib. Under Projek Sayang, he adds, the Upko’s women's wing was instructed to visit and deliver contributions to bedridden patients, provide spectacles to senior citizens, and wheelchairs to those in need, among others.'Najib's adviser wanted to know why Chinese appear anti-gov't'- Sim says the BN-led government engaged her firm in 2015 to gauge and formulate policies based on the sentiments of the Chinese community.

She notes that Najib's then adviser Jamaluddin, who was present at meetings between her staff and the PMO's Media Office in Putrajaya between late 2014 and early 2015, had wanted to know why the Chinese community appeared to be anti-government.The government of the day must derive policies for the Chinese community as the community is part of Malaysia." Sim tells Shafee that education and the Unified Examination Certificate are among the issues that concern the community. She states that Chinese Malaysians also want the middle-income trap – which affects most members of the community – to be addressed. "I am a Malaysian. I love my country, I am nationalistic," she says, adding that she is uncertain whether the government took the advice contained in the report the company submitted to it in 2015.- Members of the public and the media inside the courtroom are in stitches after an incident occurs when Sim is asked by DPP Saifuddin if she can identify Najib in the courtroom.Yes, but always in a group of people sitting together.She is directed to look at the accused's dock, before positively identifying the former premier.However, after answering the DPP's question, Sim continues to look towards Najib, before asking the DPP whether she should continue looking at him.- The prosecution calls its 14th witness, Rita Sim, who is the director of a media monitoring company named Centre for Strategic Engagement Sdn Bhd .
