Their daughter Nooryana Najwa and her son arrived separately.

Rosmah, 71, and Nooryana have never failed to appear in court for all the proceedings involving Najib.

Najib, 69, is accused of abusing his position to order amendments to the 1MDB final audit report to avoid any action being taken against him.
