TAWAU: Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is fighting his detractors, saying he is not afraid of recent attacks against him and will continue serving as long as he still has the people’s support.

“I was elected Prime Minister in a democratic way and no one individual has the right to ask me to step down,” Najib said as he took a swipe at former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad during his speech at a massive solidarity gathering with the people in this Sabah east coast town yesterday.
