The High Court has scheduled a hearing for January 7 to consider an application by 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) and ten associated companies seeking a temporary injunction to freeze the assets of Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor. The application, known as a Mareva injunction, aims to prevent Rosmah from selling or transferring certain assets during ongoing legal proceedings.

Judicial Commissioner Muhammad Adam @ Edward Abdullah set the date during a case management session held in Kuala Lumpur. The injunction request is part of a civil lawsuit filed on May 9, 2024, involving luxury items valued at over US$346 million. These goods are alleged to have been purchased using misappropriated funds linked to 1MDB.

The plaintiffs in the suit consist of 1MDB and ten other companies, including five of its subsidiaries: 1MDB Energy Holdings Limited, 1MDB Energy Limited, 1MDB Energy (Langat) Limited, Global Diversified Investment Company Limited, and SRC International Sdn Bhd. The other plaintiffs are Affinity Equity International Partners Limited, Alsen Chance Holdings Limited, Blackrock Commodities (Global) Limited, Blackstone Asia Real Estate Partners Limited, and Brightstone Jewellery Limited.

Lawyers Sheena Stephanie Sebastian and Henna Nikita Sanghvi represented Rosmah and 1MDB, respectively, during the proceedings. The plaintiffs seek a court order requiring Rosmah to pay US$346 million or another amount determined appropriate by the court. Additionally, they are pursuing a declaration affirming the first to sixth plaintiffs as the legitimate owners of the luxury goods reportedly held by Rosmah.

Originally, the lawsuit named Rosmah as the first defendant and Singapore national Shabnam Narainidas Daswani as the second defendant. However, in April 2025, the plaintiffs withdrew the case against Shabnam, leaving Rosmah as the sole defendant.
