Prime minister's wife Rosmah Mansor today said that although she was saddened by the various allegations made against her, she would continue doing charity work even if the facts are often distorted by irresponsible quarters.

She also said she would always be by her husband Najib Abdul Razak's (right) side in reaching out and helping the people at all levels.

 

"Although saddened by such allegations, I will not over react, give up or give in to their words," she said at the presentation of the Wanita Umno Nadi Negara Award 2013 and the launch of Wanita Umno Nadi Negara Alumni in Kuala Lumpur today.  

In her speech, Rosmah also advised the public, especially university students, to wisely process the information they obtained from the Internet and not to simply believe it without doing some checks and research.

"If you act recklessly and help spread lies everywhere, you should know that you are destroying your own future and gambling on the future of our country," she said.

'Don't fall for opposition lies'

    

Rosmah also reminded the students not to fall for the opposition's lies and baseless allegations about the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

 

"I heard today's students hardly read (mainstream) newspapers, claiming that the newspapers are biased. Read! We have to know the right thing (from mainstream media)," she said.

 

At the event, Rosmah also presented the Special Nadi Negara Award 2013 to Noor Liyana Nouxman from University of Auckland, New Zealand and Mohd Hafiz Ariffin of Universiti Tun Hussein Onn, while 35 other students received the Nadi Negara Award.

The award was introduced in 2009 to inspire university students to become competent leaders in the future.

Also present were Wanita Umno chief Shahrizat Abdul Jalil and more than 1,000 students from various institutions of higher learning across the country.
