Orchid named after Najib and Rosmah

A TALL and robust hybrid of the Dendrobium Ronald Imanuel and Dendrobium Jeffrey Tan orchids was named Dendrobium Najib Rosmah in conjunction with the visit of Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor to the National Orchid Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens yesterday.

Najib and Rosmah, who are on a two-day visit to Singapore, were shown around the orchid garden by the chief executive officer of the National Parks Board, Ng Lang.

They spent 20 minutes at the garden before leaving for the Istana for the welcoming ceremony by the Singapore government.

In a separate event later, Rosmah visited the National University of Singapore High School of Mathematics and Science.

She was accompanied by Ho Ching, the wife of Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Rosmah was given a briefing on the school by principal Dr Hang Kim Hoo and Director of the Education Programme, Sun Chee Wah.
