Rising star to disgraced politician: 6 things to know about Malaysian MP Syed Saddiq - The Straits Times

4. Turned down Oxford

As a law graduate of the International Islamic University Malaysia, Syed Saddiq turned down two full scholarships in 2017 and 2018 to study at his dream university, Oxford.

The main reason cited was he had to uphold his responsibilities as an elected MP to his constituents and country.

In 2021, he took part in a post-graduate senior fellowship programme at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy after accepting a scholarship from the National University of Singapore.

Describing the six-week experience as “priceless”, he said: “I’ve learnt things I wouldn’t have elsewhere”.

5. Star appeal on social media

As a young politician, Syed Saddiq is not encumbered by limitations experienced by politicians of yesteryears by leveraging on social media.

As one of the most-followed politicians in Malaysia – he has almost two million followers on Instagram and 1.2 million followers on TikTok – his every move and opinion is being watched and tracked.

Besides gracing covers of magazines, the latest being Prestige Malaysia, whose cover story is ironically titled The future is bright with Abe Lim and Syed Saddiq, his love life has also been a constant source of scrutiny for one of the most eligible bachelors in Malaysia.
