Before the spotlight: A reflection on Nurul Izzah — Abbi Kanthasamy
This article reflects on Nurul Izzah's recent victory as PKR's Deputy President. The author recounts a past encounter, highlighting Nurul Izzah's grounded and resolute demeanor, even before her political ascent. Her win, achieved through merit and widespread support, is seen as refreshing, especially for a woman in politics. While criticisms regarding nepotism and dynasty politics arose, the author argues that Nurul Izzah is often unfairly reduced to being "Anwar's daughter" and deserves to be recognized for her individual qualities.
