Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor expressed her touching admiration for an Umno supporter who brought a life-sized cutout of former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the Umno general assembly in Kuala Lumpur. In a Facebook post, Rosmah revealed that the gesture, made by the individual known as Mr J, represented the longings felt by Najib's supporters for the former Umno president.
Rosmah stated that "many miss Datuk Seri Najib," and that their family also felt disappointment following the move forward with great hopes. She acknowledged that there are limitations as to what could be done, but affirmed that the feeling of disappointment is inevitable.
A video clip showed Mr J carrying the cutout around the World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, allowing other supporters to pose for photographs alongside the Najib cutout. In the video, Mr J remarked to those missing the former prime minister, "Datuk Seri Najib is on the way to PWTC," where he was believed to be heading. The cutout was also adorned with a speech bubble that read: "Hai!
Rindu saya ka?" which translates to "Hi! Do you miss me?" Rosmah learned that Mr J had crafted the standee himself as a personal way to cope with missing Najib. She expressed her deep appreciation for Mr J's gesture, stating, "We are deeply touched by what he did. Thank you, young man." Rosmah mentioned that she would share the story of Mr J's move with her husband, Datuk Seri Najib, during their visit tomorrow.
The 2026 Umno general assembly commenced on September 9 and is expected to conclude on September 12.
