Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's wife Rosmah Mansor should relinquish her position as the patron of Permata if she is unable to handle public scrutiny, said DAP state assemblyperson Yeo Bee Yin.

"Rosmah has time and again made herself sound like a victim of public scrutiny over the management of a government agency and taxpayers' monies.

"I would like to suggest her to resign as the patron of Permata if she can’t take the heat of scrutiny and meet the request for accountability and transparency," she added in a media statement.
