00:01Nurul Iza Anwar's bid for the PKR Deputy Presidency may have placed her at the center of a perceived party rift,

00:09but a political analyst says the bigger question is whether she can chart her own course or will remain tethered to her father's legacy.

00:17Shaza Shukri of the International Islamic University, Malaysia,

00:21described Nurul Iza as a pawn in a not-so-secret rivalry between her father, PKR President Anwar Ibrahim

00:29and his deputy Rafizi Ramli.

00:31Shaza said despite doubts about Nurul Iza's independence from her father's influence,

00:36she could still flip the narrative to her advantage, especially among those disillusioned with Rafizi

00:42who see her as the more palatable Putri Reformasi.

00:46Shaza said the situation presents Nurul Iza as a compromise between those seeking fresh talent

00:53and those advocating the continuation of her father's legacy.

00:57Azmi Hasan of Academy Nusantara said the contest between Nurul Iza and Rafizi for the second-highest spot in PKR

01:05is a battle between two factions, with Rafizi sometimes clashing with Anwar and Nurul Iza being his daughter.

01:12He argued that neither Rafizi nor Nurul Iza truly represents PKR's reformist ideal, Nurul Iza due to her family connections,

01:21and Rafizi for being disconnected from grassroots sentiment.

01:25Meanwhile, Shaza said Nurul Iza's rise could make PKR resemble parties like DAP,

01:30where father-son duo Lim Guaneng and Lim Kit Xiang have long-held influence.

01:35We all have been surprised by Jack FBSWhat's like wearing a foot circumference in the United States.
