Datuk Seri Rosmah Mansor (pic, right) was invited to the women's summit in Qatar in her personal capacity and it was not an invitation to the government, said Pengerang MP Datuk Seri Azalina Othman.
"The invitation was not on a government-to-government basis but on a personal basis," Azalina said in Parliament today during the debate on Budget 2014.
Azalina had also accompanied Rosmah on that trip.
Azalina also revealed in Parliament that it was Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin who chaired the Cabinet meeting that approved the use of the government jet for the trip, and not Rosmah's husband, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.
Rosmah, who was in Qatar last week to deliver a keynote address at the 4th Qatar International Business Women Forum in Doha, has come under fire for using the government jet to attend the forum.
