'What is her role here? Why is she speaking on this platform? Why not the PM or his deputy or other cabinet members? Shouldn't they be addressing and affirming the NS success story?'
By J. D. Lovrenciear
It was said to be reported in BERNAMA that our honourable Prime Minister's wife had graced the launching of the "National Service Training Programme - a catalyst for 1Malaysia Generation" here in Putrajaya.
The event as reported was attended by the big brass from our defence ministry and some 3,000 National Service trainees.
Datin Seri Rosmah was reported to have come to the defence of the success of the NS programme. She expressed how the programme has successfully addressed the nation's human capital development and that it cannot be measured.
From what was reported, it seems that she also bluntly dismissed critics and opinion formers by stating that the NS success "had repudiated all negative accusations, allegations, criticisms and comments."
For a wife of the nation's number one leader, it would have served well if she had stated in the affirmative with a positive twist.
She could have acknowledged that the criticisms, comments and feedback have helped the programme owners rise to the challenge and keep improving to new heights of excellence.
In any case, the marketplace is asking: 'What is her role here? Why is she speaking on this platform? Why not the PM or his deputy or other cabinet members? Shouldn't they be addressing and affirming the NS success story?'
And there is also talk as to why are the top brass of the defence sitting there and patronising the PM's wife's efforts to rescue the NS from the challenges it faces?
And as if that is not enough, some are even raising some weird questions like 'Who is supplying food rations to the defence ministry? Who is supplying the uniforms to NS trainees? How did these companies get their tenders awarded? Who are the players behind these companies?
The PM's wife should seize the moment of truth and clarify so that people who have diabolic intentions can be silenced by public opinion.
Otherwise, public opinion will prevail to the contrary, only to add further hurt to the First Lady's reputation. And this in turn will rub-off on the PM's coat too.
