“Please leave my grandmother out of this!! Raided her house when we were in court??” Norashman, or better known as Ashman, posted on Instagram.
His post was accompanied by FMT’s article of the raid at the residence on Jalan Eaton in Kuala Lumpur.
Najib’s daughter Nooryana also took to social media over the incident.
She said she was sad when she found out that police had raided her grandmother’s house at 4pm when Najib and the rest of the family were in court.
“We wonder why there are no pictures of the raid. The reason? Because nothing was found and (the cops) left empty-handed.
“Is it necessary for an 87-year-old woman to go through such a bitter experience?” she asked in her Instagram post.
She said she understood that the police were following orders but wondered if they did not have the slightest sympathy towards an elderly woman who is the wife of a former prime minister and had sacrificed a lot for the country.
“Isn’t the new Malaysia supposed to be a sign of our society’s progress? It is not political revenge but political harmony that will unite us so that we can all move forward,” she wrote.
It is understood that the raid at Najib’s mother’s house was related to the ongoing investigations into his alleged role in 1MDB.
The raid comes as 25 more charges were slapped on Najib today, bringing a total of 32 charges so far since investigations began in the aftermath of Barisan Nasional’s downfall in the May 9 polls.
Najib has vowed to clear his name after the court was told that as prime minister, finance minister and chairman of the advisory board of 1MDB, he had received some RM2.3 billion between 2011 and 2014.
The 25 charges against him today are in addition to the seven charges of criminal breach of trust, money laundering and power abuse.
Meanwhile, Najib took to Facebook to thank his supporters and said he was confident the truth would prevail.
