    I Am A Victim Of Fake News, Cyberbullies, Says Rosmah Mansor, Wife Of PM Najib Razak

    I have been a victim of fake news and cyberbullying, says Rosmah Mansor, wife of Prime Minister Najib Razak.

    “There have been a few Facebook account created in my name when I actually don’t have any social media accounts and am not good at social media.

    “I don’t even have a smartphone,” said Rosmah at a seminar on cybercrime at Royale Chulan Hotel in Kuala Lumpur this afternoon.

    She said those who spread fake news aimed to create conflict and discord in Malaysia.

    As the country moved towards becoming a “thinking society”, she said Malaysians must be more discerning and not to be influenced by those who use social media to confuse and poison minds.

    On cyberbullying, she said an estimated one in four children daily experienced cyber bullying, which could cause emotional stress and  anger, fear, anxiety, and depression.

    She added adults, including highly educated professionals, were also vulnerable to cyberbullying.

    “Due to the fear of shame, many are afraid to come forward,” said Rosmah.

    Between January and June, 379 cases of cyber harassment were reported, according to statistics from CyberSecurity Malaysia, an agency under the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry.

    The National Council of Women’s Organisations Malaysia (NCWO) and CyberSecurity Malaysia organised the one-day CyberSafe seminar todayl to raise awareness of security, particularly of children and women, on the internet.

    The seminar is a follow-up to the National Seminar on Sexual Offences Against Children at Putra World Trade Centre in March.

    The March seminar had discussed the increasingly common use of smartphones, computers, the Internet and social media applications for sexual grooming and child pornography.

    The Dewan Rakyat passed the Sexual Offences Against Children Bill in April to better protect children against sexual abuse.

    The law came into force in July,

    Topics addressed in the seminar today included internet addiction, laws and policy responses to cyber crimes, and psychological and social perspectives of cyber crimes.

    Speakers were experts from the police, the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia, Attorney-General’s Chambers, and criminologists, among others.

    Also present were Women, Family and Community Development Minister Rohani Karim, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Azalina Othman Said, Deputy Education Minister I P. Kamalanathan, NCWO Dr Sharifah Hapsah and CyberSecurity Malaysia chief executive officer CyberSecurity Malaysia. – October 22, 2017.

  • Aide Debunks Picture Of Rosmah ‘Bossing’ Najib At SG50 Parade

    Aide Debunks Picture Of Rosmah ‘Bossing’ Najib At SG50 Parade

    Rizal Mansor, the aide to the prime minister’s wife Rosmah Mansor, has debunked a photograph of Rosmah apparently ‘leading’ her husband Najib Abdul Razak during the Singapore National Day celebration last Sunday.

    The photograph, which has gone viral, was used to claim it to be an example of Rosmah “bossing” her husband as she is seen walking ahead of Najib.

    They were seen walking past Johor Sultan Ibrahim Ismail Iskandar and Johor Crown Prince Ismail Ibrahim, both of whom have been subtly critical of Najib, without any acknowledgement.

    Rizal said there were more important issues to be concerned about, but nonetheless he still addressed the photograph after noting that many people had played up the matter.

    He pointed out that Rosmah had to walk ahead as she was supposed to sit on the inside.

    “Rosmah walking in front of Najib, have a look at the arrangement sitting. It was like going to the movies, who is seated on the inside must go in first.

    “The seating and the position she enters is determined by Singapore’s protocol. We are guest, we have to follow,” he says in his Facebook posting.

    Rizal also addressed another photograph taken from an angle that apparently showed Rosmah as the only head of government’s wife present at the celebration.

    Other leaders too had their wives present…

    The aide posted a separate photograph, pointing out that there were also other heads of states or governments who were accompanied by their wives.

    “Rosmah was the only head of government’s wife?

    “Have a look at today’s (yesterday’s) Utusan Malaysia photograph. The wife of Indonesia’s vice-president was present, Vietnam and New Zealand too.

    “Out of eight head of states or representatives present, four of them brought their spouses.

    “Singapore prime minister’s wife was also there,” Rizal said.

    Social media has often made fun of Rosmah’s alleged influence over Najib, despite the prime minister denying that his wife plays any role in his administration.

    Najib is also suing Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming on his claim that Rosmah was present in a cabinet meeting, based on a photograph that Najib said was merely a regular meeting between him and a few ministers, at which his wife was present.
