It has been a difficult year for Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, as she revealed to Singapore'sof how she nursed a"broken heart" brought on by Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad's return to power."I've learned so much, but I think my heart's been broken as well, somewhat," said Nurul Izzah, who recounted Mahathir's first stint in power when her father, Anwar Ibrahim, had served as the deputy prime minister.
Quizzed on the cause of her broken heart, Nurul Izzah told the Singapore daily it was not easy having to once again work with the man who brought down her father nearly two decades ago and sent him to prison. "I mean having to work with a former dictator who wreaked so much damage, not just on our lives, but the system.
"It was not easy," she admitted, although Anwar himself had openly made peace with Mahathir through aAccording to the, Nurul Izzah still speaks with emotion about Anwar's innocence and how imprisonment had taken him away from the family – including her mother, Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail – and her five younger siblings.Share this story

Pls try to be a TDM ,he did what he too much better than your father.
Mahathir never took any decisions for his own interest, always thought welfare of Malaysia. Pls asked himself how your family now this position.
Until you're the Big Boss you follow the plan of the Commander in Chief. Otherwise 'get out of the kitchen'. Shows she's weak & poor team player! Only know how to 'bising bising' a lot!
ekceli it's good kalu you resign sbb sy rasa you jd politician pon bukan wholeheartedly but bcoz of your dad in a first place. Anyway enjoy your life with your family after this ok dear....
Who's surprised? n_izzah an idealist and he's a pragmatist. She's an amazing person, but she makes a shit politician. Sorry, not sorry. Just stating an observation.
She was the one who persuaded Tun M to lead the opposition to fight against BN and now she called Tun a dictator. What a hypocrite!
Thank you Nurul for all your hard work , it’s time to let the pro do thier job. Besides to many family members sitting in one House not a good example of so called reforms you asked for. Again thank you Nurul. We see you in next 50years perhaps.
It's not easy to be in his position, his sacrifice towards family, friends and foes for the nation is much more greater than ours. I'm proud & glad to say I lived in the era of Tun M!
Dear n_izzah i've known you from a distance as never a quitter..... 😢😢😢😢
Drama runs in the family
she is a FIGHTER undeniable. but what was she fighting for? One & only Reason was D Father. Does the RAKYAT interest actly cross her mind? Mother a DPM, the so-called victimised father fast-tracked to become PM8. Wht could she asked more? Mybe she jst couldnt WORK at all
No one was blind sighted. Being a politician, a seasoned one despite age, would likely have weighed the odds. A true leader will recalibrate to move forward.
It’s not easy bcos u r incompetent
In the end she surrendered, those in PH govt should too. Bickering slandering screaming false or half truth thing shagging is PH main meals until they became government and still the meals is what they're after. I guess old habits die hard. Hmmm ...
Leadership bukan terletak pada cantik dan minat radio head untuk motivate raykat saja
U see, chedetofficial leaves his kids alone and doesn't use them as a tool. They use him but more of than not, he refrains them from doing things when he's in it. And he chastises them in public. Like poor Mukhriz. Buys a volvo or goes to monaco, daddy scolds.
Perhaps her and her father's game plan is to trigger some no confidence vote. Sad that she is her father's tool. Over and over.
Maybe before pointing finger at others, ask yourself whether you're made of the right stuff in the first place no?
Sekarang ni lah br nak bising nya..sblm Pru14 dulu napa x bising dan bangkang Tun M dr jd calon PM semula..dah lah tu condemn di Singapore..x professional langsung..elok lah lepaskan semua jawatan..jd NGO je lah senang..buat serabut je asyik nak merajuk.
Izzah with her if i-cant-i-wont attitude.
Tun never let the country to grow only his children and grandchildren will grow, Only dirty politics and stupid corrupted will call themselves interligent
You should stay and voice out your disagreement. People put their trusts in you. But you chose to resign. Easy way out.
Sometimes I don't know what to say.. just 'Why can't you think like a politician? And she shd know that those mad money addicted opposition umnopas will pounce on anything negative about the new gov. If you got nothing good to say then just be quiet
To be precise,not easy to toppled him
Bila bercakap benar kene bantai sabar YB kata nak reform
Calm before the storms and Storms don't last forever .
Remember how they treat your father? and now it's u & your mom turn....
I don't understand this 'quit culture'. Melayu Tidak Mudah Putus Asa.
Yes, absolutely acceptable! What she said is true, calling a spade a spade. At least she doesnt hidw behind the bushes!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats the facts. Ask all x tpm x pm and yr papa
Kan i dahhh cakap kau u hati hati dgn mahadey jgn lupo 1998 u tak nak dgr n_izzah
The PAC issue is not an issue of priority for now. It's not a do or die issue. You are not a resilient politician. Politics is not for you. Just let Tun M do his job. Stop all these bickerings.
The country's agreed policies and direction shall not be compromised just because of one individual.
Serve you right. So do all tun's supporters.
I’m not shocked because she is anak manja got supports mostly because of her last name. 🤦🏻♂️
Hahahha. Just leave PH la.

Nurul u are young and still wet behind the ears, stepping down like all young people when faced with challenges is not the answer. Grow up and if u feel u are up to it, serve the Rakyat. Otherwise u made the right immature decision i.e ..RUN...and hide.
Better step aside terus ..the father have sincerely forgive and forget i supposed frm what have happen just for the betterment of the nation ... and she is now making soap opera
Don't give up.
How is this a surprise?
The rift timing happened after tdm insisted on 3rd national car despite rakyat not wanting it. Nurul couldn't change that policy kot malaysia MalaysiaBaru
Dinda. Jgn susahkan hati Kanda mujahidrawa. Nanti takleh tido malam tulis surat.
One word to describe Tun as this moment -.'conniving' maybe he has to with Anwar closing in to the PM post.
Dear YB, If this the standard of maturity as an assemblyman, a representative for 'rakyat', I doubt the rakyat are able to move forward as proud Msian. Please focus on your role for the betterment of Msia instead of digging into your past.
Those who have lived through the 22 yrs iron fisted autocratic rule of Dr. Mahathir chedetofficial will find it hard to forgive him. What more with Anwar and his family who suffered in pain. Nurul n_izzah has every right to vent her anger, frustration and disappointment.
bapak dia anwaribrahim elok jer bekerjasama dengan chedetofficial 😂
I wonder what is the purpose of this article. Please stop politicking and drama like this, rakyat voted for a better Malaysia, not about making your father as PM or for you to gain sympathy card. If he is good, rakyat will support him.
Shes right, no one can work with this old man - tunku abdul rahman, tun hussein, musa hitam, tengku razaleigh, anwar ibrahim, pak lah, kj, najib, and now nurul izzah & dap. n_izzah was just stating fact and call a spade, a spade
Too manja to be a politician or a leader, even for a corporate world.
Mudahnya lupa bgmana mata papa nya lebam 🤦♀️
It’s never easy to work with folks who are intelligent, hardworking and have global standards.
Nurul is behaving like a spoilt rich brat. When things don't go her way, instead of staying and fighting for the rakyat ( which she claimed she always did ), she quit. It also shows she is not a leader quality. She is emotional, whiny and playing victim card all the time.
looking forward for Reformasi 2.0.. can’t wait 😊
😂😂👍
Ko dah tau yang dia tu penipu, yg ko pergi percaya tu kenapa.. Bodoh bahlol !!
Well u knew tat he will be in power way before the elections if ph won.. n now u come up with this statement.. to me it’s great that u decided this.. coz u need to be strong not physically only but mentally to do something for the ppl.. n if u can’t control ur emotions then sorry
You and your family stories again . You think we fight for your family? It's enough! Come on Tun is working for the nation . Let's pray god to blessed him with good health . Who are you guys without him ? Don't washed your dirty linen in Singapore and shame us !
Nurul and many young leaders have long way to go. TDM may have to conduct lessons.
Forget the past. Worked as a team for the betterment of the nation. Tun would definitely steps down in due course n hand over the baton to your dad as agreed.
If Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz and Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail can work with Dr. Mahathir, how come Nurul Izzah and Anwar Ibrahim cannot work with Dr. Mahathir?
U will need to be a snake charmer!
Is Mahathir grooming his son Mukhriz to take over power? It's obvious Nurul will have difficulty in communicating with Dr Mahathir due to generation gap.
HaziqHariz3 Bang! Bang!
That's a principled politician!!!! Not a mere yes men.
Appreciate her honesty. Rakyat is not blind. Rakyat do not forget.
Honest people’s !!! find hard to work with crooks as he have all the “say”and he can change his mind as when he want ? Especially now he have his mission and vision to reinstate BN ideologies and vision after he hyjack PH victory for reform !!! Is gone and buried !!!
tanya la Papa. Papa banyak pengalaman dgn atuk ni.
Nothing impossible in politic..perhaps Bersatu and BN will be allies in future
yeah because you want your way . As younger generation we need to just learn to humble ourselves and submit. Due time all b ok
Kahkahkahkahkahkahakahkahakah.. alasan kau pun..
Tun Mahathir is wise no room for rookies to do things their way
I'll also advise DAP ministers to resign from the cabinet. At least when MCA was in the cabinet, the Malays did not not humiliate them like what they're doing to DAP now, even though the DAP ministers are working like dogs to bring up the country. Everything is blamed on DAP.
Spoiler alert...months old story...not relevant...
Working with lalang
