Predictable - shopping in Bangkok

A picture is always worth a thousand words.

Here it is, self-styled First Lady of Malaysia, Mdm Rosmah Mansor shopping away at the posh Bangkok Central Chidlom mall; whilst tens of thousands of Malaysians are still reeling from the country's worst flooding ever.

She was spotted in the Thai capital yesterday evening, while awaiting to be reunited with her hubby PM Najib, who was forced to make an abrupt break from the couple's long globe-hopping holiday, at the peak of the disastrous flood.

The premier couple's glamorous jet-setting end of year holiday saga, at the peak of national disaster back home -- which include the hubby's controversial round of golf in Hawaii with US President Obama -- have caught the ire of not only Malaysian social media and alternative news portals, but also global media, including the highly influential Washington Post.
