DATUK Seri Nazir Tun Razak has posted on his Instagram a plea to stop the politicking that has rocked the nation over the past 24 hours, and said the focus should be on fixing the systems and institutions in this country.

The former banker and brother of ex-PM Najib Tun Razak wrote: “I feel sad and worried, like most Malaysians at the moment. What will finally unfold, will it be right for Malaysia and its people? Can it be? How can we uphold the true spirit of democracy amidst all this politicking? Isn’t this just more evidence that we should be focused on fixing systems and institutions instead?”

The text was accompanied by a photo showing the picture of an eye looking at the Malaysian flag, with tears rolling down.

The posting has received warm responses from his 100,000-odd followers.

One follower, @wazunggacj wrote: “Can’t agree more dato sri, the politician plays people like fool. What’s the meaning of having general election ? It’s just a joke”.

The son of the country’s second Prime Minister, Nazir is a savvy social media user and occasionally speaks up on current issues.
