I REFER to recent reports on anonymous blog attacks on me, my wife Azlina and our two children. These attacks, constituting lies and slander, have been very hurtful to us as a family. Above all Azlina and I have been extremely concerned and distressed that the attacks featured slanderous accusations against our innocent young children, actions that most parents would agree are ones that cross the boundaries of human decency.

As a matter of record, the blog attacks began soon after I published the article entitled "Remembering My Father, Tun Razak" on 14th January 2014, and after I commented on 1MDB.

For several months now I have been aware that the blog attacks were authored by an anonymous blogger(s) going by the name ‘ahrily90’. However despite continued attempts on my part, I have been unable to take legal and police action against the blogger(s) due to my inability to ascertain their identity.

I note from Datuk Tong Kooi Ong’s press statement on 6th February that he has a trail of evidence that proves the identity of 'ahrily90', the person behind these attacks. If this is indeed the case upon my own review of the evidence, I will certainly initiate civil and criminal proceedings against the person concerned. I will also be investigating any additional recourse available for internet slander against minors.

This possible action is solely and wholly premised on the need to protect my reputation and above all to protect my wife and children from these despicable blog attacks.
