DATIN Seri Rosmah Mansor has launched a strong criticism against Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming, accusing him of spreading misleading election material using her likeness in what she described as a desperate political tactic ahead of the Johor state election.
The wife of former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak called on the authorities to take action over a social media graphic shared by Nga, alleging that the material contained false and malicious content intended to influence voters.
In a statement, Rosmah said the minister should uphold the responsibilities of his position instead of engaging in what she described as political propaganda.
“He is a federal minister. He should behave like one, not spread false and misleading material like a desperate party cybertrooper,” she said.
The controversy centres on a Facebook post shared by Nga with the caption “Wow!”, featuring Rosmah’s image alongside the words “IF YOU DON’T COME BACK, I’LL BE BACK,” which appeared to present the phrase as a direct quote from her.
Rosmah denied ever making the statement, describing the poster as a deliberate attempt to create a false impression among voters during the final stretch of the election campaign.
She questioned whether elected representatives and government ministers should be subject to the same laws governing online content as ordinary members of the public.
Rosmah urged the Communications Ministry to investigate the matter, arguing that individuals who circulate false information online could face legal consequences and that ministers should not be treated differently.
“I will not stay silent. Politics is politics. But using someone else’s image to spread lies is cowardly, dirty and desperate,” she said.
No immediate response had been issued by Nga or the Democratic Action Party (DAP) regarding the allegations.
The dispute has added to the increasingly heated final phase of campaigning for the Johor state election, with rival political coalitions continuing to clash over social media content, campaign narratives and allegations involving misleading or unverified material. - July 9, 2026
