Going by her remark, the interview is likely to centre around the issue of women’s rights. 

“I think women are not born to be a leader (sic). A man are (sic) born to be a leader. So, I think for human right (sic), for women right (sic), I think everyone should have the rights. Because we are all human (sic),” she said in verbatim. 

The video uploaded on Sinar Daily’s TikTok page has since garnered more than 29,000 views and more than 260 comments as of the time of writing, with the majority of users confused by her statement. 

User Suraya Najihah posted: “What is she trying to say?” 

Another user, Xane commented: “When a nobody speaks.” 

Halim Radzi pointed out that there is no correlation between Nurulhidayah’s statement about women leaders and rights. 

“Both men and women can be leaders and have rights. Why so random?” he asked. 

Dozens of other similar comments were posted when the video was uploaded. – The Vibes, May 31, 2022
