Part 1 will be a panel discussion with the following line up of speakers:
Nurual Izzah Anwar, Executive Chairperson, Polity Malaysia
Nurul Izzah Anwar is an activist, legislator and public servant, pursuing justice, economic equality, societal fairness and innovation, for all Malaysians, over a professional career of 25 years. Her first engagement with politics began with the founding of Parti Keadilan Rakyat (KEADILAN) in 1999. At 18, Nurul Izzah played a pivotal role in KEADILAN’s formation, which has since become Malaysia’s successful, multiracial political party. In 2008, she won her first parliamentary election in Lembah Pantai. She defeated the most popular female minister in Malaysia then – a three-term, administration incumbent. During her first term she launched a constituency service centre offering free tuition to struggling, low-income students, and organised medical camps to lower-income residents at various People’s Housing Program (PPR) flats. She co launched with My Kasih Foundation, the first cashless food stamp system in Malaysia in her constituency – enabling poor families to purchase groceries with dignity.
These accomplishments were altogether more notable given she received no federal government support for them. Nurul Izzah won re-election in 2013, further burnishing her credentials as an effective policymaker and legislator, introducing seven private member bills.
Nurul Izzah continues to serve as a senior leader of KEADILAN. Nurul Izzah is the eldest child of YAB Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Datuk Seri Dr. Wan Azizah. She holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from UNITEN and has a Master’s degree in International Relations with a focus on Southeast Asia Studies from the School of Advanced International Studaies-Johns Hopkins University in Washington, D.C.
