After Tong, PM’s brother denounces blog attacks

KINIBIZ CIMB Group chairperson Nazir Razak had spoken out against anonymous blog attacks on his family, saying he will initiate civil and criminal proceedings against those responsible should the identity of those responsible be ascertained.

In a personal statement today, Nazir said the attacks began soon after he wrote an article about his father, Malaysia’s second prime minister Abdul Razak Hussein, over a year ago and after he commented on controversial self-styled strategic development company 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

The attacks, constituting “lies and slander”, had not spared his two children and this crosses the line, said Nazir ( left ).

Notably 1MDB is the brainchild of the current prime minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is Nazir’s brother, and the latter’s statement follows a series of statements by businessman Tong Kooi Ong, who had also been subjected to anonymous blog attacks which Tong claimed was due to The Edge Malaysia ’s coverage of 1MDB.

The Edge Malaysia is part of The Edge Media Group, which Tong owns. Last Friday Tong stated he had a trail of evidence to ascertain the identity of the blogger and had served a legal letter to tycoon Jho Low, whom Tong claims is responsible.

However Jho Low had previously denied any links to the attacks.
