NurulIzzah says she will continue to speak up about what's right and important
KUALA LUMPUR - An unfazed Nurul Izzah Anwar defended her remarks against Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, saying it is important to make her stance clear."I'm always an optimist. But sometimes, I think we have to make our stance very clear. I did not mean any harm certainly. Insyallah , I will continue to speak in favour of what is right and what is important," the Permatang Pauh MP said.
According to Nurul Izzah, her dismissal of Dr Mahathir as a dictator to The Straits Times was a repetition of what she had said many years ago, even before the 14th general election. At the same time, Nurul Izzah said she remains committed to carrying out the reforms that Pakatan pledged for Malaysia, among which included her initiatives in reforming the prison system.
During the interview with The Straits Times, Nurul Izzah was also quoted as saying that she would be serving her final term as an MP due to her disappointment with the current Pakatan Harapan government's performance. Nurul Izzah had drawn flak for her remarks, with Dr Mahathir's aide labelling her as immature, irrational and emotional in understanding the prime minister's stand and the government.
