Rosmah slams Nga over AI poster, calls for action

Rosmah Mansor accused housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming of spreading false content after he shared an AI-generated image ahead of the Johor state election.

PETALING JAYA: Rosmah Mansor has called for action against housing and local government minister Nga Kor Ming after he shared a poster online featuring her image and attributed a quote to her ahead of Saturday’s Johor state election.

The poster, shared by Nga on X, featured an AI-generated image of Rosmah with the words: “Warning to all Johor voters: if you don’t come back, I’ll be back,” which appeared to be attributed to her.

The wife of former prime minister Najib Razak said in a Facebook post that she strongly condemned what she called “cheap election propaganda” bearing her likeness.

She called for the communications ministry to act against Nga, arguing that a minister should not be exempt from scrutiny when ordinary Malaysians are probed for sharing allegedly false content.

“He is a federal minister. He should behave like one, not spread false and misleading material like a desperate party cybertrooper,” she said.

“I will not stay silent. Politics is politics. But using someone else’s image to spread lies is cowardly, dirty and desperate.”
