KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 — Ufun Group Bhd Ltd denied today that it has links with Mohd Nazifuddin Najib, the son of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, and said that it has instructed its lawyers to identify those responsible for spreading the rumour.
statement here, the Thai multi-level marketing firm said it believes that irresponsible individuals have been feeding false information of its alleged connection with Mohd Nazifuddin to the Thai media for mischievous reasons.
“UFunStore Co Ltd has no link or association with Mr Nazif Najib whatsoever. Our company has never made any as such claims in respect of the alleged link to Mr Nazif Najib,” it said.
“We strongly believe that certain irresponsible individual(s) have been deliberately feeding misleading information to the Thai media linking Mr Nazif Najib to Ufun with ill-intentions to cause mischief and confusion to the public at large,” it added.
The firm, which was recently exposed for allegedly cheating over 120,000 of some RM4 billion, also maintained that it is running a genuine business.
It said that it would take necessary action to dispel the unwarranted attacks against the company.
“We have instructed our team of lawyers to carry out investigations to ascertain the perpetrators who had in deliberately spread such irresponsible and false rumours so as to cause uneasiness and embarrassment to the respective parties concerned,” the management of Ufun said.
Earlier this month, Mohd Nazifuddin, who is Najib’s second son, similarly denied his involvement in Ufun.
According to Malaysiakini, Mohd Nazifuddin claimed the firm has been using his name to deceive buyers into enrolling in the Ponzi scheme and that claims of his alleged involvement were part of a smear campaign against him.
The news portal also reported Nazifuddin as saying that he was no longer the director and chairman of Saguta (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, the firm that was connected to Ufun, after resigning on May 31, 2012.
Quoting from a recent report in The Bangkok Post, Malaysiakini noted that Thai police have estimated that some 120,000 people have been cheated by Ufun, which sells Utoken, a digital currency used to purchase items and services online.
Regarding the special segment aired by Thai television station NOW 26 that claims of his alleged connection with Ufun, Nazifuddin said, “There is no concrete evidence in the video that suggests my involvement with Ufun (Group Bhd Ltd) and their schemes.
“Someone is coordinating a libellous personal attack by ‘viralling’ a Thai video of my involvement with the Ufun group in an attempt to smear my name and attack my reputation,” he was quoted as adding.
The segment, which is still available on video-sharing site YouTube draws the alleged link between Nazifuddin and Ufun through developer firm Lagenda Erajuta Sdn Bhd, which is a subsidiary of Sagajuta.
