Anwar Slammed For Nepotism Over Nurul Izzah's Appointment As ... (SAYS)

Former Permatang Pauh member of parliament (MP) Nurul Izzah's recent appointment as the Prime Minister's senior economic and financial advisor has been.

"So, is it true that a health minister must be a doctor? And a water minister must be an engineer? As for Nurul Izzah, she has an engineering degree and a public policy degree. "So, I guess it does not augur well for the Prime Minister because he will be questioned over the appointment as there are many better qualified experts in economics if he really needs an advisor," he said, adding that Anwar already has a group of advisors in the Ministry of Finance and Rafizi Ramli as the Economic Affairs Minister. The Tambun MP, who is not taking home a salary for serving as the Prime Minister, also mentioned that his daughter will not be taking any allowances for her role. Many people on Twitter were critical of the appointment, as Anwar is known to the rakyat as the leader who pushes for political reformation and is said to be against cronyism, a term that bears somewhat the same meaning but the favouritism extends beyond families to friends and associates.

Think tank pours cold water on Nurul Izzah's appointment (The Star Online)

Centre for Market Education (CME) chief executive officer Dr Carmelo Ferlito said the appointment of Nurul Izzah Anwar (pic) as senior economics and finance ...

"The political movement and support around Anwar has been historically associated with words such as 'reformasi' and 'bersih', meaning that his campaign and communication strategy is linked with the promise of a new and reformist (style), which is at odds with corruption and nepotism," Ferlito added. "Many observers noted that such an interim position sacrificed the appointment of capable people with popular consensus, such as Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani, while the International Trade and Industry Ministry was entrusted to Tengku (Datuk Seri) Zafrul (Abdul Aziz), in continuity with the previous Cabinets and against electoral signals," he said in a statement Monday (Jan 30). Centre for Market Education (CME) chief executive officer Dr Carmelo Ferlito said the appointment of Nurul Izzah Anwar (pic) as senior economics and finance advisor to the Prime Minister contradicted the reformist policies and change preached by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Unity Government.
