00:00Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the suggestion that his daughter, Nurul Iza,
00:07should become the next Selangor Mentri Besar is merely a personal opinion and was never discussed
00:13with him. Anwar said he had no knowledge of the proposal, which was reportedly raised by the
00:18current Selangor Mentri Besar, Datuk Seri Amiruddin Sha'ari. He told reporters this after a dinner
00:25with the Malaysian diaspora on Friday night. The PKR president was also asked about Amiruddin's
00:31readiness to take on federal responsibilities. Anwar replied that there was no rush, noting that
00:38the next election is still some time away. The discussion surfaced after Amiruddin, in a recent
00:44Keluar Sekejab podcast, said he strongly agreed when asked if Nurul Iza should be given the opportunity
00:50to lead the Selangor government. Amiruddin said he had directly conveyed the idea to Nurul Iza,
00:56adding that the decision ultimately rests with her. He said the move could provide a landing for her
01:02without creating perceptions of nepotism. The Selangor MB, who is also Gombak MP,
01:08also indicated that he is ready to move to the federal level if required.
01:20by the end of the day.
