The young MP dismisses a piece of news on social media that she is going to marry the king, saying people should concentrate on saving Malaysia’s economy instead.
Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah has denied rumours she will marry the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V.
KUALA LUMPUR: Nurul Izzah Anwar is the latest victim of fake news.
The Permatang Pauh MP has denied a message circulating on social media that she is getting married to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V.
She told The Star today in a WhatsApp message: “Please nip any fake news circulating in the bud. Thank you. Let us all focus on the work at hand – saving Malaysia’s economy.”
Nurul Izzah, who is also PKR-vice president said there were more important matters to attend to.
The rumours are believed to have started following a visit by Nurul Izzah’s parents Anwar Ibrahim and Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail on May 24 to Sultan Muhammad V’s mother Tengku Anis Tengku Abdul Hamid at the Istana Mahkota in Kubang Kerian.
The closed-door meeting lasted about an hour and it was Wan Azizah’s first visit to Kelantan after being sworn in as deputy prime minister.
However, the viral message twisted the facts and said that Anwar and Wan Azizah had met the King to discuss the purported marriage, The Star reported.
