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.

The video, posted yesterday evening, gained nearly 100 likes and several comments. It comes after a similar video that was posted by Sinar Daily which gained even more traction.

Earlier, netizens on the popular social media app were left bemused by a remark she made about 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.

The video garnered more than 29,000 views and more than 260 comments as of the time of writing, with the majority of users being confused by her statement. – The Vibes, June 1, 2022
