Wan Azizah: God forbid I'll be like Rosmah

INTERVIEW The prime minister's wife, Rosmah Mansor, has received her fair share of criticism, including allegations about her big spending shopping excursions when accompanying Najib Razak on his overseas trips.

However, PKR president Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said such behaviour is totally unlike her. "God forbid I will be like Rosmah," she exclaimed.

Wan Azizah, speaking at her home in Bukit Segambut, toldMalaysiakini that she had been in a similar position when her husband, Anwar Ibrahim, was the deputy prime minister.

"I have been overseas and when meeting with the ambassador's wife and she would ask me, 'Where do you want to go?'
