Rosmah Mansor is feeling the loneliness of her “top level” position - she only has her husband and Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to complain to about allegations levelled at her in the social media.
In her opening speech at a convention of the Association of Wives of Civil Servants and Women Civil Servants Association (Puspanita) today, she said that she hears of various allegations on websites and onFacebook.
Rosmah, who is Puspanita patron, said she can tell “only Najib” about these and that he would tell her “if there’s anything” similar.
Having initially advised those present to improve themselves and to enhance their use of information and communication technology (ICT), she reverted to allegations.
"I want to touch on ICT use. You have to take it seriously. You should know what to (accept) and what not (to accept). You need to use rational and objective information.
She said information spread on online and in the social media are “sometimes lies”.
"If anyone wants to commit a sin, (he or she) can read and believe (those allegations). But, before you believe, please do some investigation," she said.

‘What young men want’
On the fact that there are more female than male undergraduates in local universities, Rosmah opined that this is because young men have other priorities.
"They want to earn money fast, they want to do business, they don't want to enter university," she said.
"(However,) after five years, when the business is in trouble, they go to banks and ask for money. When (the loan application is rejected and they are) forced to close the business, it is (seen as) the government's fault.
"I don't know what’s happening to you men. You'd better to think of your species very seriously.”
She urged the men present at the event - mainly comprising senior government officers - to encourage young men to complete their tertiary studies.
