Nurulhidayah Ahmad Zahid, the eldest daughter of Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, says she was once a street fighter in support of Anwar Ibrahim when he was sacked as deputy prime minister in September 1998.

At that point in time, Ahmad Zahid was Anwar’s right hand man, being Umno’s national Youth chief, and was also detained under the Internal Security Act and released after he pledged his loyalty to Umno.
