IT'S NOT each week PS lands in a centre of an international scandal, yet last week's story about Rosmah Mansor, a mother of a Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, as good as her intemperate New Year's Eve Sydney shopping spree has proved to be hotter than a Penang curry. After a story appeared in a Herald it went viral upon a extravagantly inflammatory Malaysian blogosphere, where readers were outraged a woman introduced to Sydney conform engineer Carl Kapp upon New Year's Eve as a First Lady of Malaysia (FLOM) had outlayed an estimated $ 100,000 upon his engineer threads.
FLOM, who is during home with all a world's other initial ladies, including Michelle Obama, is good well known in Malaysia for her supposed shopping habits. She visited Kapp's Paddington boutique with her environment of six after finding his operation during David Jones during a holiday in Sydney.
It was Kapp who after told PS he visited a $ 20,000 a night penthouse she was staying in, where he met Mr Razak, during a newly opened oppulance hotel The Darling.
Following a PS article, FLOM was approached by a contributor in Malaysia as good as quizzed about her Sydney shopping tour de force, initial reported upon respected Australian conform journalist Patty Huntington's Frockwriter website after Kapp's Sydney broadside firm, Little Hero, pitched a story to Huntington, along with two other media outlets. When PS called, Kapp was only too happy to talk about FLOM, even posing for a photo carrying already crowed about his brand new VIP troubadour upon his Facebook page, yet it was mysteriously deleted once a controversy erupted.
Back in Malaysia, FLOM told a mainstream media, much of it owned by her husband's government, PS's report was ''rubbish'', ''wildly exaggerated' as good as she was a ''victim'', adding which Kapp wo! uld be i ssuing a matter upon a affair.
Meanwhile, a campaign to disprove PS was launched in Malaysia, with everything from details about my personal life to being declared upon disgraced medico Geoffrey Edelsten's mildly amusing list of ''Australia's Worst Journalists'', being since an airing.
PS managed to get reason of Kapp's official statement. He denied being flown to Malaysia in entrance weeks specifically to fit FLOM for her ''massive'' sequence of 61 garments, for which she paid up front. Yet Kapp told PS last week ''she is flying me to Malaysia for equipment in February''.
Kapp would not divulge a exact worth of FLOM's sequence to PS yet he did not brawl PS's $ 100,000 estimate.
Kapp's statement, issued by a same broadside organisation which was originally pitter-patter up seductiveness in a FLOM story, said: ''It is a perspective which a essay has unfairly since a impression which a Carl Kapp investiture is indiscreet as good as is peaceful to divulge personal as good as in isolation information about a clients. This is manifestly untrue, as good as you wish to state unquestionably which you worth severely a remoteness of a clientele as good as would never violate their certainty underneath any circumstance.'' How reassuring.
