PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has told his daughter Nurul Izzah that there will always be challenges and disappointments in her path.

"Izzah is my eldest child and as a father, her happiness and well-being comes first. However, as a father, I am also obligated to advise my children that they will always face challenges and disappointments in any path they choose.

“The hardships and hurt my family went through for the past twenty years have left their mark. Izzah herself was thrust into the limelight and has spent most of her adult life fighting to help reform the nation,” the Port Dickson MP said in an Instagram post on Tuesday (March 26).

Anwar had posted a black and white picture of him and Nurul Izzah.

Nurul Izzah had told Singapore’s The Straits Times during an interview that she was “broken-hearted” having to work once again with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, whom she described as a “former dictator”.

Nurul Izzah also said she would be serving her final term as an MP due to her disappointment with the Pakatan Harapan government’s performance.

On Saturday (March 23), Nurul Izzah confirmed that she had quit the parliament's Public Accounts Committee.

She also had announced in December last year that she would quit all PKR party posts while remaining as a parliamentary backbencher committed to reforms.
