KUALA LUMPUR – Despite their differing political affiliations, the daughter of Umno president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has praised opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as a “sweet talker”.

“For me, Anwar Ibrahim, he’s a sweet talker, you know? When you talk to him, there’s always positive things (sic),” she is heard saying in a short video clip.

“I find him sweet. He is a sweet person.”

Datuk Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid made the remark about the PKR president’s personality in a 19-second video posted on TikTok.

The video is likely a teaser for an interview in Sinar Daily’s Politically Frank segment.
