Hair-do catches fire in the court of public opinion

Rosmah Mansor is back in the news in the online portals again. This time around it is about reports of her having claimed that it cost her RM1,200 each time to have her hair dyed at home and that home service tailors are raking a minimum of RM500 for each dress she orders.

Datin Seri, if the media reports are false, please sue their butts off for we cannot afford to see our prime minister’s wife being ridiculed without taste.

But then again, would the media be mad to make such allegations knowing full well it is our ‘First Lady of Malaysia’ - the wife of the country’s very powerful leader ?

Dear Rosmah why do you keep adding to the woes of our dear prime minister, Najib Razak? Already, he has to battle so many issues that one wonders how long more can a man endure.

Rosmah, you certainly will agree that the Altantuya murder refuses to evaporate into thin air; the 1MDB is still making smoldering news; the Sodomy II continues to keep pricking like a needle in the rib cage; the New York Times recent splash on your loving son can make things awkward; and the MH370 theories keep bobbling up like a cork in deep water every now and then.

And in case we forget, the former prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who continues to command a following very recently hinted that if he were to be your husband, he would have quit as PM.

Now, why then do you have to add to the woes of your husband who is certainly not having a smooth sailing on rough waters surrounding his premiership?

It is unbelievable that the wives of our elected ministers are spending RM1,200 per hair dye and RM500 per dress. It certainly costs a tidy bit if we factor in the RM30,000 salary that Najib draws each month and a lesser paycheque for his boys.

Of course, you cannot dress like a pauper when you are the nation’s number one leader’s spouse. But why use a public platform to tell all.

Please do not pick a bitter quarrel with the court of public opinion. Instead, you may want to sack your speech writer - if there was one who penned those words for you to be delivered as the president of the Welfare Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers (Bakti).

Dear Rosmah, wonder why even all the wives of those ministers are not advising you the right way. Wonder, too, why all the paid ministers are not whispering into your ears how the court of public opinion is rating and ranking you. They must be real dishonest and most disloyal to you.

At least caring netizens are willing to share the truth with you.
