PETALING JAYA (THE STAR/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - Mr Mohd Nazifuddin Najib, the son of Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, is disappointed with the non-stop attacks on his father, stating that this could adversely affect the country.

"This is because foreign investors will be wary of investing as they will think the country is not stable politically, causing the currency to drop," he was quoted as saying in an Utusan Malaysia report on Monday.

Mr Nazifuddin added that the attacks could make people willing to sacrifice the good of the country in order to bring down the Prime Minister, noting that all those who had made allegations against Datuk Seri Najib had their own agenda.

"They should realise that the pressure is not helping but will worsen the country's situation.

"I hope people are not easily influenced by rumours and think of the long-term implications on the country's welfare," he said during the launch of a cafe in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
