Putrajaya has refused to disclose the costs incurred by the prime minister's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who had used the official government jet to fly to Padang, Indonesia for an award ceremony recently.
Seremban MP Anthony Loke had asked in a parliamentary written question, the purpose for the August 27 trip, using a NR1 aircraft with the registration number 9M-NAA.
Shahidan said that Rosmah had flown to Padang to receive the highest Minangkabau award while the aircraft was also used by Najib for an official visit to Singapore.
"It is the government's official aircraft and was used for the prime minister's business.
"All the costs involved in the flight are estimated to be appropriate and in line with the service provided," Shahidan said in the written reply in the Dewan Rakyat today.
Rosmah had previously been embroiled in a controversy after she had used the government's official jet to attend a conference in Doha, Qatar.
