MP compares Nurul Izzah to Benazir Bhutto, proposes she leads PKR in GE16

PETALING JAYA: PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar should lead the party in the 16th general election to reclaim parliamentary seats lost in the last nationwide polls, an MP said, comparing her to Benazir Bhutto and Megawati Soekarnoputri.

Hassan Karim said Nurul Izzah, the daughter of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, was both “capable and experienced”.

“She is charismatic and is ‘prime minister material’ like former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto and former Indonesian president Megawati Soekarnoputri,” the Pasir Gudang MP from PKR said in a Facebook post.

Hassan said PKR’s outing at the nationwide polls last year was unsatisfactory after losing 18 seats, including Permatang Pauh, a stronghold where Nurul Izzah served as the MP for a single term.
