Shahnaz Abdul Majid, the ex-wife of the son of Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud, provided a peek into their marital life and home in Kuching from 1992 to 1999 in her RM400 million divorce suit at the Syariah High Court.

In her verbal and pictorial portrait, Wisma Mahmud, the home she shared with ex-husband Mahmud Abu Bekir, was a 3-storey residence with 12 rooms inlaid with Italian furnishing. It was next to the Chief Minister's house, by the river with a private jetty.

"We lived in a three-storey bungalow with 12 rooms, where one room had been transformed into a kitchen. Another room was made into a study,” she said, as reported by Malaysiakini.

"Our house was next to Taib's residence in Petra Jaya. This was not the chief minister's official residence, but his private residence.” she added.

Shahnaz was in residence in the house in Kuching till their separation and her move to a RM1.75 million house in Damansara Heights that her then-husband had bought for her.

This establishment of her residential tenure prompted opposing counsel to question whether the ex-wife to the son of Sarawak Chief Minister Tan Sri Taib Mahmud was a virgin when she married him.

Counsel Saadiah Din also asked Shahnaz Abdul Majid if she had cooked and cleaned at their matrimonial home.

Shahnaz's response was to clarify that she was single at the time of her marriage to Mahmud Abu Bekir in 1991.

Shahnaz, 50, said that she did not cook during the eight years of their marriage.

“You didn’t clean the house either?” Saadiah asked.

“I disagree. I did clean the house, but I had help from a maid,” replied Shahnaz.

Further cross-examination required her to state when she and Mahmud Abu Bekir last had sex.

“I’m certain that it was in 2000 in Kuching,” said Shahnaz.

The sister of popular singer Datuk Sheila Majid, Shahnaz added that the last time that she and Mahmud Abu Bekir stayed under the same roof was in 2000.

In her suit, Shahnaz, who holds an MBA in finance, is seeking some RM400 million as a divorce settlement, including matrimonial property and “mutaah” (Islamic conciliatory payment), as well as half the assets owned by her ex-husband, including seven luxury cars, thousands of hectares of land in Sarawak, homes in countries abroad and shares in about 15 companies.

Shahnaz seeks to end the marriage in accordance with the Islamic Family Law (Federal Territories) Act 1984, citing her husband’s alleged failure to give her “nafkah batin” (conjugal rights) since 2001.

Shahnaz and Mahmud Abu Bekir married on January 9, 1992 and they have a 20-year-old son, Raden Murya.

Mahmud Abu Bekir filed for divorce on May 11, 2011. - November 6, 2013.
