Nazri is firmly back in the spotlight these past few weeks as Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's staunchest defender, protecting his current boss against another politician who is more brash - former boss and former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Dr Mahathir, 91, wanted to debate on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal which occurred under Najib's watch. Nazri wanted to raise the Bumiputra Malaysia Finance Limited (BMF) scandal that took place when Dr Mahathir was premier. Nazri said: "I'm a big defender of the Prime Minister and, in order to bring down the PM, he (Dr Mahathir) has to bring me down." He insisted his priority is to "protect my Prime Minister and voters".
