KJ And Nurul Izzah's Tweets On Her Resignation Give Malaysians Hope For Bipartisanship

In a statement to The Star, Nurul announced that she has resigned as vice president of PKR and relinquished her appointment as chair of Penang PKR.

However, she clarified that she will continue her advocacy work as "an ordinary citizen and Member of Parliament for Permatang Pauh."

"I am sure once the country is finally ready for a generational change in politics, Nurul Izzah will be back," the former UMNO youth chief wrote.

"It would be a terrible waste if she doesn't return to frontline politics," he added.

"Can't imagine Malaysia without your towering political footprint. Rooting for you, albeit as a mere MP now - but rooting nonetheless," she responded in a tweet 20 minutes later. 

"All the older corrupt politicians have left, now Malaysians can participate in politics maturely, based on facts and tolerance," another Twitter user wrote.
