Rosmah Mansor, the controversial wife of prime minister Najib Razak, looks set to be thrust into public limelight again, following the appearance of a new YouTube video.
The blurry two-minute video clip (click here), uploaded very recently alongside many duplicate clips, shows the 61-year old taking centre stage among other performers dancing to the tune of the Hindi hit song 'Jai Ho'.
Dressed in a Bollywood outfit, Rosmah is seen being viewed and cheered by the crowd watching her performance from a projector screen.
It is not clear when or where the video was shot, but a glimpse of the backdrop suggests that the occasion was held two years ago.
Based on past interests in Rosmah, the latest YouTube video is set to draw thousands of hits in a matter of days.
Since Najib's appointment as prime minister in 2009, his wife's alleged penchant for extravagance has been cited by critics as proof that BN leaders and their family members are clueless about economic problems faced by ordinary citizens. Many have also attempted to draw comparisons between Rosmah and Imelda Marcos, the wife of the late Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos, notorious for her luxurious lifestyle.
In June, it was revealed in parliament that Rosmah and Najib had secretly stayed in Milan, the Italian shopping haven, during an official tour of three Western cities using 9M-NAA, the official aircraft to carry the prime minister.
The revelation came a year after Najib publicly thanked his wife for allowing to forgo a family holiday in Italy "for the sake of Malaysians back home".
In 2011, a screenshot of the Customs department's clearance of a diamond ring worth US$24.4 million from United States shocked netizens. The screenshot shows that the ring was for "inspection by H.E. Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor".
The government however said there was no such purchase of the ring by Rosmah, though admitting that it was "returned to the company owner".
