The PM, whose approval ratings have fallen sharply over the past year, has come under increasing pressure over his leadership amid attacks from the opposition and from within his own party over graft and mismanagement claims. It a scandal that has shaken Malaysia ruling coalition to the core and plunged Najib Razak into one of his worst political crises since becoming Malaysian premier six years ago.
