Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, was booed by some of the 10,000 spectators at Stadium Malawati during the Malaysian Open prize-giving ceremony yesterday, 10 April
As Malaysia celebrated top national shuttler Datuk Lee Chong Wei's victory over world number one Chen Long, Rosmah stole the limelight momentarily from the 11-time Malaysian Open champion, as a group of fans starting booing when Rosmah’s name was announced for the prize-giving ceremony.
However, the booing was quickly drowned out by the applause for Lee and Chen during the prize-giving ceremony.
Rosmah appeared unaffected by it, and went up to the stage while clapping.
