With Nurul Izzah taking the lead, Wan Azizah is enjoying strong support from members of the PKR Wanita Congress.
SHAH ALAM: PKR vice-president Nurul Izzah said her mother, Wan Azizah, will be a better Menteri Besar (MB) than Khalid Ibrahim because of her caring nature to listen to problems.
“All leaders should show empathy, which is a vital quality,” she told a press conference after launching the PKR Wanita Congress in Stadium Melawati Shah Alam today.
Nurul Izzah said her mother would be able to solve the problems of Selangorians.
Nurul Izzah said she supported her mother after her father, Anwar Ibrahim, was thrown behind bars in 1999.
“The most difficult time for me was when my father was in jail. My mother carried out her duties well as party president and a mother to six children,” she said.
However, she added that the final decision on the MB fiasco was up to Pakatan Rakyat (Pakatan).
Nurul Izzah said it was common to have differences in opinion in the coalition but collaboration among the leaders was important.
PKR Wanita chief Zuraida Kamaruddin said Wan Azizah was the first woman opposition leader in the Dewan Rakyat and there should not be any doubt of her capability to lead.
Zuraida said with her vast experience of 16 years, Wan Azizah would be able to transform the party.
She believed all Pakatan leaders would abide by the party’s decision despite the PAS Syura Council’s decision to reject a female leader.
“I am confident Pakatan leaders will help her lead the state,” said Zuraida.
Another speaker, Kelantan Wanita representative Norhanazalmah Mat Yusuf hit out at certain contestants in the party elections who sought the support of top leaders to win.
“Such an act is a breach of the people’s trust. The contestants with the right connections won and this will destroy the party,” she said.
