Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is not unduly worried about being arrested in Europe for ignoring the request to testify in a French court about Scorpene, but he will have one big worry if the French court imposes travel sanctions on his wife, the self-styled ‘First Lady’ Rosmah Mansor.

Najib has much in common with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. Both men are seeking re-election and have wives who are fashionistas who love to sing, although one is a wannabe.
