It was PKR’s Nurul Izzah Anwar, who was contesting in Lembah Pantai, against then Umno’s Saifuddin Abdullah, contesting in Temerloh.

COMMENT | My eldest daughter Athena Azlee is very interested in sports and athletics, and I am very proud. When she was 11 years old, she did a gold medal clean sweep of all the sprint events (100m, 200m, 4x100m, etc) during her school sports day and won the Future Female Athlete of the Year. She also played cricket for the school team and was district runner-up. When she turned 12, she also did a clean sweep of all the sprint events and was awarded the Female Athlete of the Year.

Sometimes, when high profile names are attached to a film, you tend to have really high expectations of how good it is. Am I right? #LaknatMovie #TheFatBidinFilmClub https://t.co/Ih0xn9YsBw
