Perak Menteri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin comes from a political family. Ten among thirteen of his siblings (two of which have passed away) involve themselves in politics. They join different political parties, such as PAS, PKR and UMNO. However, some of them are very active while some of them are only ordinary members.

Apart from Nizar who is the state secretary in Perak PAS, his late brother was also the first chairman for Perak PAS and had contested for the Ayer Kuning state seats in 1995 and 1999.

Nizar said two of his family members joined UMNO, and one of them is the senior assistant for a former UMNO exco member.

He also said that his mother used to support UMNO, but has voted for DAP in the past three elections. (Sin Chew Daily)
