Rosmah's Hair Raising RM1200 Hairdo

In comments quoted by news portal Malaysia Insider recently, Malaysian PM's globe trotting wife Rosmah complained of the 1,200 ringgit (US$330) cost of having her hair dyed, and the 500 ringgit she pays to have dresses tailored. 



“It is really hard to make tailored clothes these days. Their prices come up to RM500, and I am speaking as a representative of a housewife that buys made-to-order clothes,” she added.

The comments – made at a public event to discuss the introduction of a new consumer tax in Malaysia – were quick to anger many in Malaysia, where the official minimum wage is 900 ringgit per month. Many people are believed to survive on less than this.

Curtin University to retract the term "First Lady of Malaysia"

A week after awarding Rosmah with a PhD, Curtin University of Western Australia, was hit with blast of criticisms. Its Facebook page was swamped by thousands of comments for their poor judgement. Judging by the strongly-worded postings on its Facebook page after the award was announced, Curtin was probably taken aback by the amount of criticisms and bad publicity.

In response to it Curtin has now issued a new media release to announce that it has retracted the term "First Lady of Malaysia" it used while referring to Rosmah.
