PETALING JAYA: Former Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar suffered a miscarriage recently.
In an Instagram post, Nurul Izzah said she was saddened by the loss of her child.
She posted a photo of her being comforted by her parents, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and former deputy prime minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
“The little boot is gone. Surely, we belong to Allah, and verily to Him do we return,” she wrote.
Nurul Izzah added that the family had overcome many challenges together, from campaigning during the general election to getting Covid-19 for the second time. They also had to manage their new duties while travelling from Penang to Putrajaya.
“So to those of you, well almost all of us, who have tasted loss, we can offer our prayers, a big virtual hug and a reminder – that life goes on.
“And the splendour of joy and happiness, it lurks in every corner – whether it’s the smiles of Safiyah, Harith and Yu Zhou – or in the warm embrace of my own papa and mama. Every moment counts,” she said.
Last August, Nurul Izzah tied the knot with senior research associate Yin Shao Loong, from the Khazanah Research Institute.
She has two children from her previous marriage, Raja Safiyah and Raja Harith, while Yin has a son, Yu Zhou, from his previous marriage.
