Journalists making a beeline outside her residence in Kuala Lumpur have left a grandmother with a headache.

This is due to her address being stated as the location of Cambridge Analytica's Malaysian office on its website.

The woman, who declined to be named, said she has been living in the double-storey house for three years, which has never been used by the opinion influencing firm.

"This is a residential area, there are no offices here. I have lived here for three years and have never seen any offices," she added.

"I have blood pressure (problems). I don't want to be troubled by this kind of things. The other day, there were also journalists who came by and I became worried.

"When I worry I get a headache – I don't want to trouble my children," she told Malaysiakini.

Cambridge Analytica, which was instrumental in US President Donald Trumps's election campaign, received international attention after the firm was accused of misusing millions of user data from Facebook for political purposes.

The firm is also said to have provided services to BN in Kedah during the last general election. 

"BN won Kedah back from Pakatan Rakyat in the 13th general election and walked away from a successful campaign.

“With wins in 21 out of 36 state seats and 10 out of the 15 parliamentary seats in the state, BN enjoyed a landslide victory," Cambridge Analytica boasted on its website.
