IPOH:
Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar today said she was committed to fulfilling her promise to bring English rock band Radiohead to Malaysia.

“I’m making an open letter and it is now in the final process. I want to show them the importance of being sensitive with issues on the Palestinian struggle.

“Secondly, it is hoped that they’ll agree with my proposal to hold a concert, which will be a charity concert,” she told reporters when met on the last day of the World Conference on Islamic Thinking and Civilisation, organised by Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah here.

In a Twitter post last May, the PKR leader had said she was determined to bring the band, which is from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, to Malaysia.

“Indeed. A promise is a promise #PostRamadanDiscussion. Now get on to work!” she said.

Radiohead was formed in 1985 and is famous for songs such as Creep, No Surprises, Karma Police, Exit Music, High and Dry and My Iron Lung.

In another development, Nurul Izzah said the committee on empowerment of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) would hold a nationwide tour to obtain feedback from interested parties.

“We want the involvement of all quarters. Parents sent their children for TVET, but if the salary they (children) get (after graduation) is low, and the institution is not recognised, they might as well go for academic studies.

“We want TVET institutions to produce graduates on par with the academic graduates,” she added.
