Kenyatan Najib yang dengan bongkaknya mendakwa Rosmah adalah orang yang bertanggungjawab mendapatkan pembebasan pelajar yang ditangkap polis Mesir tidak dapat dibuktikan.
Pertama sekali, Najib ternyata silap apabila mendakwa pelajar itu, Ibrahim Mohd Azmi ditangkap kerana tuduhan mengintip.
Hakikatnya Ibrahim Mohd Azmi ditangkap ketika bersama-sama konvoi Viva Paletine bersama-sama enam orang yang lain.
Beliau ditangkap ketika mengambil gambar kekerasan polis anti rusuhan Mesir terhadap sukarelawan Viva Palestine.
Mengenai penglibatan Rosmah pula, kabel diplomatik dan laporan antarabangsa membawa berita yang jauh berbeza.
Laporan antarabangsa menunjukkan bahawa perundingan antara pegawai Viva Palestina, Turki dan British dengan pihak berkuasa Mesir bagi membebaskan Ibrahim Mohd Azmi dan enam yang lain tanpa dakwaan, tidak menyebut langsung tentang campur tangan Rosmah.
Sebagai balasan Viva Palestine akan membebaskan dua orang polis anti rusuhan Mesir yang ditawan mereka. Sangat aneh kerana tiada satu pun media antarabangsa melaporkan penglibatan Rosmah dengan usaha itu dalam carian di internet kecuali media tempatan iaitu The Star.
Adalah tidak diketahui sejauh mana hubungan tidak rasmi Rosmah dengan isteri Hosny Mubarak, telah membantu pembebasan Ibrahim Mohd Azmi seperti yang didakwa oleh Najib dan The Star.
Ni laporan dari The Ant Daily..
Did Rosmah really rescue Malaysian student detained in Egypt?
Despite Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's exhortations of his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor's role in securing the release of a Malaysian student detained by Egyptian authorities in 2010, questions remain as her involvement was not evident in international news reports except for articles carried by national news agency Bernama and several local papers.
One such article, part of a series that extolled Rosmah's role in the release, is among the collection listed on the Prime Minister's Office website dedicated to the "Wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia".
Another article that spoke of her role was published in The Star on Jan 7, 2010, along with others that followed suit. Other papers also published variations of the Bernama article.
Najib had announced this as one of Rosmah's unsung deeds, in response to criticisms over her use of an executive jet paid for by public funds for a non-official trip. He said this during his speech on the last day of the 67th Umno general assembly in Kuala Lumpur on Dec 7.
However, Naijb incorrectly said that the student was accused of spying. In fact Malaysian student Ibrahim Mohd Azmi was arrested as part of Egyptian riot police crackdown on the Viva Palestina Lifeline convoy 3 that was awaiting transit into Gaza.
He was taking pictures of riot cops attacking the Viva Palestina convoy volunteers when he was arrested. Egyptian riot police raided the compound the convoy was in after activists demonstrated refusing to exclude 59 non-medical vehicles from their convoy into Gaza.
Ibrahim was one of seven Viva Palestina convoy members detained, while several others were hurt in the raid.
And while the PM boasted that Rosmah's sacrifices for Malaysia, such as her alleged help in securing the release of the student, was rarely mentioned by him, it was curiously plastered all over the local papers.
International diplomatic cables and reports, however, carry a different tune.
The US Embassy in Cairo sent a message to several stations on Jan 11, 2010 describing the event. A copy of the cable can be accessed on the Wikileaks website.
A portion of the cable reads "...the demonstrators had 'detained' two Egyptian police officers in return. Turkish MP Murat Mercan (one of 5 Turkish MPs traveling with the convoy) had mediated a release of the demonstrators and police after a couple of hours."
Similarly, press releases by Viva Palestina credited British MP George Galloway and Turkish MPs, who the movement said "struck a deal with Egyptian authorities, part of this deal was that the 7 detainees were released without charge".
The deal was the release of two Egyptian riot cops captured by the convoy volunteers in return for the release of the volunteers detained without charge and the convoy's agreement to defer the nine vehicles from their trip to Gaza.
The international reports show that negotiations were between Viva Palestina, Turkish and British officials with the Egyptian authorities, no mention of a Rosmah intervention.
It is also strange that no international media picked up on the matter, at least none that theantdaily can at the moment search for online.
It is not known who is stealing whose thunder here but as far as the negotiations went, it is unclear how Rosmah's unofficial links to the wife of former Egyptian dictator Hosny Mubarak, as claimed by Najib, had helped.
