Rizal Mansor, aide to prime minister’s wife Rosmah Mansor, has described Tanjong MP Ng Wei Aik as “naive” for failing to get his boss’ sarcasm.

This was after Ng declared that Rosmah had admitted to being the wife of ‘MO1' (Malaysian Official 1) when he asked her about it.

“Clearly, he can be stamped as a naive person because he cannot differentiate between serious.

“Datin Seri (Rosmah) has a higher intellect compared to the DAP MP.

“So, when he teased her, she responded with sarcasm... can’t he understand?” Rizal said in a statement today.

Rizal said Ng should instead focus on Budget 2017.

“When Budget 2017 was tabled, he colluded (with other opposition MPs) to leave the Dewan Rakyat, even though it was an important matter to the country and people.

“The Tanjong MP is not qualified to become an elected representative.

“He has not reached that level yet,” he said.

Last Friday, Ng wrote on his Facebook that he had asked “who is the wife of MO1" while passing by Rosmah.

He claimed that Rosmah replied: "Yes, I am. You think I am scared of you?"

When contacted, Ng claimed the exchange happened in the Dewan Rakyat, during the opposition's walkout last Friday.
