Radiohead could perform in Malaysia soon thanks to Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter
‘A promise is a promise’ says Nurul Izzah Anwar, when reminded of a promise she made in 2013 to bring the British group to the country if her party won in the polls

You would probably not associate a Malaysian politician with iconic British rock group Radiohead.
But if you happen to be Anwar Ibrahim’s daughter, Permatang Pauh Member of Parliament Nurul Izzah Anwar, you could help rock history be made in Malaysia.
In 2013, Nurul Izzah, who is self-confessed Radiohead fan, said she would arrange to have the band perform in the country if her party Pakatan Harapan won Putrajaya.
It didn’t happen at the polls then, but the recent May 9 general elections was a different matter altogether after Pakatan Harapan ousted incumbent Barisan Nasional.
Last Saturday, Nurul Izzah said in a tweet that she would deliver on her promise to have the Oxford group hold its first concert in the Klang Valley.
