Nurul Izzah: Identity politics is unhealthy, politicians should bridge divides and not ‘fan the flames’

KUALA LUMPUR, April 11 — Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah decried those who champion identity as the bedrock of their politics, calling their political agenda “unhealthy.”

She said that issues like eradicating poverty and addressing existing class divisions within society should be a priority when it comes to policy making.

“... you want to support politics based on a clear-cut agenda, whether it is to uplift the bottom 40 per cent category, whether it’s to eradicate poverty or whether it is to address the existing class divide.
