KUALA LUMPUR, July 30 — Former Umno president Datuk Seri Najib Razak was not involved with the “What does Bossku want?” programme blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris (Papagomo) and an activist were holding tonight, said his daughter Nooryana Najwa Najib.

She said Najib conveyed this to her in a message, insisting that neither Papagomo nor Persatuan Jalinan Perpaduan Negara Malaysia president Syed Muhammad Imran Abdul Aziz were his representatives.

“Syed Imran has also never been directed by Najib to issue any statements on his behalf,” she said on Facebook today.

“Najib has been in prison for almost a year and it is not fair for Syed Imran or any other individuals to ride on or misuse his name.”

The Puteri Umno exco member then said only Najib’s statements posted from his official social media pages should be considered genuine.

Umno suspended Wan Muhammad Azri for six years in 2021 while Syed Imran purports his organisation to be a platform to seek justice for Najib.

Syed Imran previously claimed that his group’s members would support Perikatan Nasional in the six state elections taking place on August 12, supposedly out of disappointment with the national unity government for failing to secure a pardon for Najib.

Najib is serving a 12-year prison sentence from his conviction on all seven charges related to RM42 million that was misappropriated from a former 1MDB unit.
