Rosmah Mansor's lawyer has declined to comment on the progress of their request for Bank Negara to probe how details of her bank account were leaked, a week after the deadline passed.

Asked if Bank Negara had complied with the request, lawyer Noorharjan Mohd Noor did not offer a direct answer.

"If there is anything we wish to state (to the public), it will be done through a press statement," she told Malaysiakini when contacted.

On July 9, whistleblower website Sarawak Report had published documents allegedly leaked by Malaysian investigators which claimed that a total of RM2 million was deposited into Rosmah's accounts from Feb 10 to April 23, involving eight transactions.

Sarawak Report was unsure of the source of the money, but said the person who made the deposits was one Roslan Sohari , who appears to be a staff in the Prime Minister's Office.

Rosmah's accounts

The following day, Noorharjan issued a press statement confirming that the account mentioned by Sarawak Report indeed belonged to Rosmah and urged Bank Negara to explain within 72 hours how this information was leaked.

Bank Negara has been contacted for a response on this matter.

Meanwhile, Umno blogger Shahbudin Husin claimed the government had blocked access to Sarawak Report 's website not because of its exposes on 1MDB, but due to its report on Rosmah's accounts.

"It is clear that by reporting about Rosmah just once, even though it was not a false expose or slander, action was immediately taken against Sarawak Report .

"Whereas in the months that it had made exposes about Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and 1MDB, there was no sound whatsoever from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission," he wrote in his blog today.

He said the government may deny that this is the case but this was the popular perception among the public.
