Which part of Rosmah's fabric saga was fabricated?

YOURSAY 'Najib, which part of the report was fabricated? The purchase of 61 items? The cost of the purchases?'

Najib: Reports on Rosmah 'deliberately fabricated'

Onyourtoes: At best, this was a feeble attempt to damage control. If the allegation was not true, the whole machinery of the government would have come to PM Najib Razak's rescue immediately and the ‘truth' would have been be revealed in no time.

I am sure Najib would have exploited to the hilt how he and the first lady have been wrongly accused and unfairly treated by the Western media out to destabilise this country because of our economic success, capable leadership and accomplishment.

Just tell us, how many pieces were bought and the total price. Just tell us whether the penthouse suite in The Darling cost RM64,000 a night.

Please don't plead privacy. As PM, you have no privacy. Where you stay and what you buy are of public interest. Only the public can check you because you have no bosses above you.

Windingup: Najib, which part of the report was fabricated? The purchase of 61 items? The cost of the purchases?

Then tell us, how many items did the (self-declared) First Lady actually purchase? And how much did it cost?

Let us judge for ourselves how ‘wildly' the report was exaggerated.

Jeremy Ng: If this is rumour, Rosmah and Najib should proceed with legal actions against the Australian writers. There should be a public signature petition that Rosmah/Najib take legal actions without further delay.

As public figures, their reputation will affect the country.

Loyal Malaysian: Deliberately fabricated, was it? The email exchanges between designer Carl Kapp's publicist Holly Beer and fashion journalist and blogger Patty Huntington are very enlightening as to what had transpired. Care to explain that?

Yeap Cheng Liang: Okay, then tell us where did you stay? Who pay for your hotel charges?

CiViC: Najib, first of all, Rosmah is not our leader - she could be yours, but she's definitely not ours. Second, perception is earned, not given.

You and whoever leader you may want to bring in, will have to earn his/her respect, and not expect it to be given by the people. So far, none of BN leaders (and their wives) deserve any. Period.

Nik V: I am glad Najib spoke on this issue as he has never spoken or defended the wrongs that right-wing group Perkasa has unleashed.

Neither has he had the courage to speak out against sacked PAS leader Hasan Ali. Nor has he had the nerve to stand against racially provocative matters like the throwing of pig heads in mosques or the parading of cow heads in demonstrations.

IamMsian: There is no smoke without fire. If you don't want all these so-called ‘fabricated stories', just ask Rosmah to stay low profile, like former PM's wife Dr Siti Hasmah.

There was no First Lady of Malaysia before, but Rosmah wants to be one. This is beginning of your problem.

Louis: Najib, why must a newspaper columnist thousand of miles away reported on Rosmah as being extravagant with her clothes? There are so many PM's wives in Asean region, why pick on Rosmah?

As many had already suggested, take the accusers to court and the truth will surface. What is holding you and Rosmah from doing so? A person of your standing, just say the word, your team of lawyers will spring into action.

Moorthi_2e7f: After this denial, Rosmah can no longer wear the dresses in public. Someone may recognise them just like her many expensive Birkin handbags. Indeed, she has wasted paying so much for them.

Multi Racial: It started with something someone should not have been done. A reporter reported it. Then the someone came out to deny the matter.

The reporter stood by her report. Then the someone got another person to lie. The reporter provided more facts. Then the someone got another person to lie again.

Ask yourself. Why would the reporter want to fabricate such news? What gains will she have?

Of course, the someone who started it have such tendency of doing such things as she has done it before.

This someone was just careless and insensitive and spent beyond her means, especially in hard times like this.

That's why our grandparents and parents always teach us not to lie. When we started to do so, we don't know when to stop.

Inspektor Klueso: When a ruler is feared, despised and scorned, he is a dangerous man.

But when he turns into a laughing stock by adopting ridiculous monikers like ‘Ah Jib Gor' (brother Najib) and making ‘liar liar pants on fire' comments to ‘whitewash' his wife's shopping fetishes, he is completely vulnerable to all the animals in the political jungle out there.

Once a persona becomes a joke, there is no recovery to the slippery slope of public opinion.

Little Han2: Najib, when pro-Umno blogger Papagomo attacked the teenage son of Penang CM Lim Guan Eng, your DPM advised him to make a police report as it was not good enough just denying the allegations.

Perhaps you should also heed his advice... Go make a report to the Sydney police.

MfM: I support you, Najib. Now sue the Australians for defaming your wife. Make them show the evidence so that we can prove that the reports were fabricated and nothing but lies to put you in bad light.

There is no point just denying and denouncing. Sue them and make them pay.
