Bercakap dalam satu sidang media di bangunan Parlimen hari ini, Mahfuz berkata ia menunjukkan tindakan “Kabinet yang tidak bermaruah”.
Katanya, negara maju seperti Amerika Syarikat juga tidak akan membiarkan isteri presidennya mewakili suami melawat negara tertentu dengan jet eksekutif.
"Apabila presiden US Barack Obama tidak dapat hadir ke Malaysia, beliau menghantar wakilnya ke sini. Ada dia hantar isterinya?," soal Mahfuz.
Lawatan Rosmah pada 10 November ke Forum Ahli Perniagaan Wanita Antarabangsa Qatar ke-4 itu dibangkitkan MP Gombak, Azmin Ali semalam di Dewan Rakyat
Lawatan itu menjadi topik perbincangan hangat di Dewan Rakyat pada hari Isnin lalu selepas dibangkitkan MP Gombak Azmin Ali yang mendakwa ia dibuat menggunakan jet eksekutif dan ditanggung oleh kerajaan.
Ahli Parlimen Kelana Jaya dari PKR, Wong Chen, berkata Rosmah bukan wakil rasmi kerajaan atau duta.
“Ini adalah langkah yang tidak baik di pihak kerajaan,” katanya.
Ahli Parlimen Klang, Charles Santiago, berkata keputusan Kabinet itu membuktikan ia merupakan penyalahgunaan kuasa dan dana awam.
“Dia bukannya wakil rakyat dan memberi kebenaran untuknya terbang menggunakan jet kerajaan merupakan penyalahgunaan kuasa,” katanya.
Shahidan semalam menegaskan proses meluluskan lawatan tersebut dijalankan secara telus dan dibawa ke Kabinet untuk dibincangkan terlebih dahulu.
"Ia dilakukan secara telus, dipohon kepada Kabinet dan kemudiaannya diluluskan," katanya.
Apabila ditanya sama ada lawatan tersebut menguntungkan dan memberi manfaat kepada negara, Shahidan berkata, hasil lawatan tersebut akan didedahkan kepada umum selepas ini.
"Apa yang saya boleh katakan ialah lawatan ini menguntungkan dan sangat positif.
“Tentang hasil daripada lawatan tersebut, saya akan bentangkan kemudian," katanya.
Shahidan tidak mengesahkan atau menafikan bahawa lawatan itu menggunakan jet eksekutif.-malaysiakini
PAS accuses Rosmah of 'interfering' in M'sia affairs...
PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar took aim at the cabinet for approving Rosmah Mansor's trip to Qatar in a government-funded executive jet.
He claimed that being designated a national representative had paved the way for the prime minister’s wife to "interfere in the administration of the country".
"When
the US president Barack Obama could not come to Malaysia, he sent his
representative here. He did not send his wife here, did he?" Mahfuz (right) asked at a press conference in the Parliament lobby today."This is a cabinet that has no dignity (tidak bermaruah).”
The Pokok Sena MP also said the cabinet has no business in approving Rosmah's trip to represent the country.
"If the prime minister wants to send a representative, he could send a minister, not his wife," Mahfuz said.
"The prime minister also sent a letter through his wife, inviting the Qatar government head to come and visit Malaysia.”
Rosmah should not have delivered an official invitation on behalf of the government, he added.
PKR Kelana Jaya MP Wong Chen said Rosmah was neither the country's representative nor ambassador.
"It sets a terrible precedent and shows no semblance of decency on the government's part," he charged.
DAP's Klang MP Charles Santiago said the Cabinet's decision was an abuse of power and waste of public resources.
"She is not an elected representative and giving her permission to fly on a government jet is an abuse of power.
"If she is accompanying the prime minister I would have understood but she was flying on her own to Qatar," he added, saying there was financial imprudence as well as an absence of clear protocols.
Putrajaya has defended Rosmah's use of the official jet, saying her trip was "fruitful".
"The outcome of the visit was very positive, we must be proud and thankful of the efforts and hardwork put in by the prime minister's wife.-malaysiakini
