Attempts are being made to discredit the credibility and impartiality of Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali after he ruled that former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak was guilty of all seven charges against him in the SRC International case.

Among the allegations being peddled on social media, was that Nazlan, aged 51, is either the grandson or grandnephew of Najib's archrival Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
