Anwar's pol-sec says Nurul's earned her right to speak for rakyat

PETALING JAYA: The views of Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar should be respected and not ridiculed, says the political secretary of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim after her interview with Singapore's The Straits Times provoked some strong reactions.

In the interview, Nurul Izzah remarked that she was “broken-hearted” over having to once again work with Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, whom she labelled as a “former dictator who wreaked so much damage”.
