In 1999, while speaking to a group of Malaysian students in Wales, Nurul Izzah Anwar was asked whether she would become a politician. "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it," she answered.

Eight years later, Nurul Izzah has come to that bridge.

As a novice thrust into political activism almost a decade ago, her main target was to get her father, Anwar Ibrahim, out of jail after he was dramatically sacked as deputy premier in 1998.

Today, Nurul Izzah, 26 - dubbed ‘Puteri Reformasi’ (princess of reformasi) - has set her sights on carving out a niche for herself in politics.
