Cleopatra, or Nur Fathiah Syazwana Shaharuddin, a 30-year-old woman and a popular Malaysian social media influencer, intends to run for one of the 11 parliamentary seats in the Kuala Lumpur federal territory.
Nur Fathiah says she is not worried about competing against big names in the Batu ward, which is held by the main opposition coalition Pakatan Harapan (PH). She intends to run as an independent candidate and add some glamour to the polls.
All 11 federal constituencies in Kuala Lumpur federal territory are held by the Pakatan. They are Malaysia’s most urban and multiracial seats.
Nur Fathiah, a mother of two, says she would have the freedom and privilege to speak out about what she truly believes in and be heard.
